Chapter 17, Problem 18QP
Blood Types Are Determined by Cell-Surface Antigens
A patient of yours has just undergone shoulder surgery and is experiencing kidney failure for no apparent reason. You check his chart and find that his blood is type B, but he has been mistakenly transfused with type A. Explain why he is experiencing kidney failure.

You have a patient with prostate cancer. The cancer causes blood vessels to weaken and burst. The patient has a dangerously low Hematocrit and needs a blood transfusion. When you test his blood for type, here are the results: Anti-A- agglutination, Anti-B- agglutination, Anti-Rh- no reaction.
1. List all blood types he can receive.
When you enthusiastically suggest that blood transfusions will help him, he protests that his religious beliefs disallow him from accepting transfusions. You will need to find a way to help his own body both retain the blood he has, and make new blood.
2. Based only on what we've learned so far re: blood and endocrine, come up with hypotheses about how you could do each.
3. Propose a mechanism of how EPO might work: what cells might it target, would it enter them, and what sorts of proteins might it activate? (This question references endocrine: how hormones work, and why it matters if they are water-soluble or fat-solube)
4. There is a drug called…
In terms of antigens and antibodies, explain why O- is considered a universal donor and why AB+ is considered a universal recipient. Even so, why can’t whole blood O- be donated to a person of type AB+ blood?
Ms. Robinson is a 65-year-old woman who spends most of her day sitting on her porch and recovering from a recent surgery involving the removal of suspected cancerous lymph glands in the inguinal area. She is now complaining that her shoes are fitting too tightly, and she has developed poorly healing sores on her legs and ankles. A closer examination also shows distention in her varicose veins. Blood tests reveal a low level of proteins in the plasma.
Based on the patient history and the signs and symptoms, identify the fluid imbalance the patient is experiencing, and state the rationale for your answer. (See Edema.)
Discuss the four general causes of edema and how they apply in the case of this patient. (See Causes of Edema.)
Discuss the swelling, sores, varicose vein distention, and other effects that edema can have on a patient. (See Effects of Edema.)

A person with type AB blood can receive a transfusion form a type O individual. A person with type O blood can receive a transfusion from a type AB individual. A person with only the A antigen on the surface of red blood cells is type A. They also have anti B antibodies in their plasma. A person with antigens A and B on the surface of their red blood cells is type AB and have no antibodies in their plasma. A person with the Rh factor is Rh+. A person who is type O has the O antigen on the surface of their red blood cells, and have anti A antibodies in their plasma.arrow_forwardthe condition aplastic anemia is characterized by complete failure of the bone marrow to produce formed elements of the blood due to damaged hematopoietic stem cells.

Mary Metro, a young pregnant student, was rushed to the emergency room at Denver Health Medical Center after being hit by an RTD bus while crossing the intersection. She would require several units of transfused blood.While in the emergency room, her blood was typed as AB negative, a very rare type. The hospital had no AB negative in the blood bank. Calls were made to other blood banks in Denver and no AB negative blood was immediately available. Several B positive, O positive and O negative units of blood were located at the Red Cross in Lakewood. While in the emergency room Mary Metro had an emergency C-section to deliver her baby, Brandon.
