Lab Values
WBC
5000-10,000/mm
Lymph nodes protect the body by filtering foreign material and fight infection; what stored product is used to complete this purpose?
Lymphocytes (WBC)
This is the precentage of RBC in the total blood volume
hematocrit (HCT)
This test includes Hct, Hgb levels, white blood cell count, red blood cell counts, lymphs, ect
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Platelet Count
150,000-400,000/mm
axilla, abdomen, thorax, cervical, and inguinal
This type of leukocytes (WBC) plays a role in allergic reactions
Eosinophils
This procedure is done commonly in pts with conditions such as neutropenia, acute lukemia, and thrombocytopenia. It examines the cell types and degree of maturation.
Bone Marrow Aspiration/Biopsy
Therapeutic INR
2-3.5
This tissue contains lymphocytes and macrophages and is located in the pharynx
Tonsils
production of this is dependent on factors including helathly bone marrow, approprate kidney function, dietary iron and copper, and essential amino acids
Erythropoiesis
examines the shape, size, and structures of blood cells and platelets under a microscope
peripheral blood smear
Hematocrit Females
12-16g/dl
Some of this tissue's function include hemolysis of old RBC, blood reservoir, stores lymphocytes/monocytes/plasma cells, and producing RBC prior to birth or extreme hemolytic anemia
Spleen
These are the primary phagocytic cells invovled in acture inflammatory response; they chew up the bacteria and spit them out.
Neutrophils
Erythrocyte Indexes
RBC Male and Female
Male: 4.7-6.1 million/mm
Female: 4.2-16 million/mm
What lymphatic fluid is made of
protein, water, fats, and cell waste
Immature neutrophils. What dose it mean when there are too many of these?
Bands (>8% is bandemia). Bandemia is present in pts with severe bacterial infections.
This test has replaced the Schilling's Test
Megaloblastic Anemia Profile
