Hb = concentration of oxyhemoglobin in the sample
cCOHb = concentration of carboxyhemoglobin in the sample
cHHb = concentration of deoxyhemoglobin in the sample
cMetHb = concentration of methemoglobin in the sample
cHbF = concentration of fetal hemoglobin in the sample
Bilirubin
Bilirubin is calculated as follows:
Hct(calc)1
tBil(B)
tBil(P)
ā
=
c
c
where:
ctBil(P) = concentration of total bilirubin in plasma
ctBil(B) = concentration of diluted plasma bilirubin after sample
hemolyzation
Hct(calc) = calculated hematocrit (a fraction).
