Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind using the blood group O negative in the patient, even before knowing his actual blood group.
Introduction:
The blood forms an important part of the body. It constitutes the circulatory system that is important to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the various body parts. The blood is composed of formed elements (45%) and plasma (55%). The formed elements contain leukocytes (white blood cells), erythrocytes (red blood cells), and platelets. The plasma contains various dissolved ions, proteins,

The patient is a male athlete, smoker and 26 years old. When blood is withdrawn after strenuous physical activities, what test/s can be possibly be affected? Give a brief explanation.
Your client is a known case of Anemia who was admitted to medical ward for blood transfusion. The physician ordered 1 unit of packed red blood cells (PROC) for him. After 2 hours of commencing the transfusion, Mr. H vomited twice and reported having diarrhea. His vital signs were checked; Temp: 38.9 degree Celsius and BP 98/50 mm of Hg.
What might be the possible cause of the transfusion reaction your client has developed?
My answer is incorrect, i want to use this to study can you please provide me with the correct answer.

Upon physical examination, the patient was febrile(temperature, 38°C) with tachycardia. Her CSF sample was taken to the laboratory for further investigation. Her results came out with low glucose estimation of 1.2mmol/L and high protein estimation of 10.0g/dL.

- Why is the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate not useful for patients with severe anemia? Name an alternative sedimentation test that may be done instead.arrow_forwardA 35-year-old female university professor was admitted to the hospital. Her history and the physical report stated that the patient was pale, and she also reported losing a lot of blood due to an accident a few days back. Doctors think that she has anemia and performed some lab tests to confirm the diagnosis. Following is a list of laboratory report values for her diagnosis. i. Mean corpuscular volume: Normal ii. Serum ferritin: 10 µg/L ii. Transferrin saturation: 11% iv. Free erythrocyte protoporphyrin: 50 µg/dL erythrocyte V. Hemoglobin concentration: 130 g/L Answer the following question based on the above lab reports. a. Which of the above laboratory test report support the diagnosis of anemia and why? Explain in detail. b. Which of the above laboratory test report do not support the diagnosis of anemia and why? Explain in detail.arrow_forwardThe average diameter of a RBC is 7.2micrometer and average diameter of spherical RBC is 6.7micrometer. The normal RBC has an average surface area of 136micrometer^2 and volume of 91micrometer^3.

- Melinda was working the day shift in the hematology laboratory. The laboratory’s protocol called for three levels of blood cell controls to be run at the following times: 1) at the beginning of the shift, 2) within each run of patient samples during the day and 3) any times reagents were changed. The mean for the low (abnormal) control for the red blood cell count was given as 2.00 x 10^12/L, the standard deviation was 0.15, and the confidence limit (acceptable control range) was 2.00 x 10^12/L +/- 2sd (or +/- 0.3). The first morning low control result was 2.10 (x 10^12/L). In five subsequent runs, the low control results were 2.16, 2.19, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.25. 1. Do these values represent a shift, a trend, or neither? 2. Should Melinda be concerned about these values? Explain. 3. Does Melinda need to take any action?arrow_forwardTeri goes to see her PCP after feeling depressed last couple of months as well as experiencing a seizure earlier this week. The physician orders a few test, results are shown below: Low hematocrit Low levels of Vit B12 Low Oxygen levels Presence of autoantibodies against the parietal cell Peripheral blood smear shows abnormal RBC (large pale RBCs) After viewing the results, Teri is diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia; a condition in which autoantibodies destroys the parietal cells found within the stomach. Address each of the following regarding Teri’s case: Since the parietal cell is destroyed, which substance(s) is Teri lacking as a consequence? What is the correlation between destruction of parietal cells and Vit B12 deficiency? Due to her condition, Teri lacks Pepsin. Explain why. If Teri were healthy, explain what her RBCs would look like? What is hematocrit? Low oxygen levels stimulate her body to create new RBCs by stimulating which process? Explain that process in depth.

To count: Start in the upper left corner of the first photo. Identify the white blood cell in the first square and put a mark by its corresponding name on the tally chart. Repeat this process as you move across to the next square and then the next square and so forth. If a square has two WBCs, record both types. There are two sheets of cells to count. Once you have counted all the squares you should have a total of 100 cells. Total the tally for each cell type. Add your total tally for each cell type together to be sure you have a total of 100 recorded.

He also complained of fatigue and looked pale. Blood analysis revealed a red blood cell count of 3.2 × 106/μl (normal 4.2–5.0 × 106/μl), a white blood cell count of 2800/μl (normal 5000/μl), a sedimentation rate of 30 mm/h (normal <20 mm/h) and a serum IgG of 4500 mg/dl (normal 600–1500 mg/dl). IgA and IgM levels were well below normal. Skeletal survey showed lytic lesions in vertebrae, ribs and skull. A bone marrow sample revealed 75% infiltration with plasma cells. Elevated protein in urine was confirmed to be Bence-Jones protein (immunoglobulin light chains). The patient was diagnosed with IgG λ multiple myeloma and began an immediate chemotherapy regime. Which of the following would be consistent with this type of malignant tumor of plasma cells? a. Serum IgG is polyclonal. b.
