Splenic Rupture
Laboratory studies include a basic biochemical panel and a complete blood count (CBC), which will often show a decreased hematocrit.[symptoma.com]
The laboratory analysis revealed a decrease in her hemoglobin from 13.8 g/dl to 9 g/dl and a significant drop in her hematocrit.[wjes.biomedcentral.com]
A complete blood count revealing a decreased hematocrit and imaging studies, mainly ultrasonography and computed tomography, are used for confirmation, whereas history taking[symptoma.com]

Cold Agglutinin Disease
The MCHC and MCH values will be increased due to decreased hematocrit and RBC count. Other causes of invalid red cell indices have to be ruled out.[keralamedicaljournal.com]
Complete blood count (CBC) showed falsely decreased RBC count and hematocrit and falsely elevated MCV and MCHC.[jbclinpharm.org]
The RBC count will be decreased due to doublet erythrocytes being counted as a single cell, thus resulting in a falsely high MCV. Hematocrit will also be lowered.[keralamedicaljournal.com]

Evidence of hemolysis is also reflected by a declining hematocrit or hemoglobin and decreased haptoglobin.[clinicaladvisor.com]

Initial workup revealed hemoglobin 2.6 g/dL (10.2-12.7), hematocrit 7.7% (30.9-37.9), mean corpuscular volume 104 fL (71.3-82.6), white blood cell count 4200/μL (240 absolute[bloodjournal.org]
