- Results of routine laboratory tests, such as a complete blood cell count and chemistry panel, are usually normal, but alkaline phosphatase or lactic dehydrogenase levels may be elevated (Paediatric solid tumors)

Practice questions on Blood Cell Count
An abnormal increase in red blood cell count is characterized by which of the following terms?
- Anemia
- Polycythemia
- Leukopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
Answer: B. Polycythemia refers to an abnormally high concentration of red blood cells in the blood.
An abnormal increase in the red blood cell count is characterized by which of the following terms?
- Anemia
- Polycythemia
- Leukopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
Answer: B. Polycythemia refers to an abnormally high red blood cell count, often leading to increased blood viscosity.
An abnormal increase in red blood cell count is characterized by:
- Anemia
- Leukopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Polycythemia
Answer: D. Polycythemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally high concentration of red blood cells (erythrocytosis) in the blood.
An abnormal increase in red blood cell count, often leading to increased blood viscosity and potential for clot formation, is clinically characterized by which of the following terms?
- Polycythemia
- Leukopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Anemia
Answer: A. Polycythemia refers to an increase in the total red blood cell mass, leading to a higher hematocrit and increased blood viscosity.
An abnormal increase in the red blood cell count is known as:
- Anemia
- Leukopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Polycythemia
Answer: D. Polycythemia refers to an increased concentration of hemoglobin and/or RBCs.
An abnormal increase in the total red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration is known as:
- Anemia
- Polycythemia
- Leukopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
Answer: B. Polycythemia refers to an increased concentration of erythrocytes in the blood.
