Are you referring to red blood cell indices? MCV, MCH, MCHC? If so, these tell you in the region of the size and composition of red cells. It can be clinically adjectives....to the doctor and to the lab. MCV tells the size of the cell...so labs use this to first make sure it is the right long-suffering. We can tell if a wrong forgiving has be drawn by a change within their MCV (without a blood transfusion or a few other things). Also it lets the doctor know that the cell may not be big enough...or contained by the other case..too big. THis can supply clues to anemias. Iron deficient patients usually enjoy smaller red cells due to the denial of iron...and megaloblastic anemias (b12 or folate deficiencies ) ususally hold larger cells.
Hope I didn't verbs you....but in a simple answer...yes it is clinically significant.
They tolerate you know the state of the patient, largely.
Tell's you such things as; do they have anemia, leukemia, thrombocytopenia or other disease of the blood or bone marrow.
They relay you the various ratio of cell1:cell2
Hope this helps
