Hematology
These immature WBC cells have prominent nucleoli, a high N:C ratio, and linear chromatin.
What are Blasts?
These cells form a plug during Primary Hemostasis.
What are platelets?
The normal values of this CSF test is about 60-70% when compared to the blood values that are drawn 2 hours before the spinal tap. It aids in the differentiation of types of meningitis
What is CSF glucose?
Anti-A 0
Anti-B +
A1 cells +
B cells 0
These are the results for this blood type
What is B?
This test is used as a measure of long-term glycemic control (2-3 month period).
What is Hemoglobin A1C?
If a patient's RDW result is 19.5, a technician would expect to see this morphology on the blood film.
Anisocytosis
This pathway is where the Intrinsic and Extrinsic Pathways meet.
What is the Common Pathway?
This urinalysis chemical test detects the presence of granulocytes, WBC's, including lysed WBC's.
What is Leukocyte Esterase?
This procedure uses group O RBC's ranging from 10-20 vials and is referred to as an extended antibody screen.
What is the antibody panel?
This electrolyte, when increased can cause muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmia's, and cardiac arrest. A high amount is called hyperkalemia.
Potassium
This disease is characterized with increased numbers of RBC's, granulocytes, and platelets in the peripheral blood, with notable increases in RBC and HGB, while erythropoietin levels remain normal to decreased.
What is Polycythemia Vera?
The process of breaking down a clot.
What is fibrinolysis?
This microorganism is the cause of syphilis.
What is Treponema pallidum?
This procedure can be performed before transfusion of donor products containing RBC's only when the patient has no clinically significant antibodies detected currently or in their history.
What is the immediate spin crossmatch?
This cardiac enzyme used to diagnose myocardial infarction, rises 4-6 hours after the infarction, peaking at 12-24 hours, and goes back to normal 72 hours after the infarction.
What is CK-MB?
This chronic disease is characterized by production and accumulation of neutrophils in all stages of maturation. The WBC count is often greater than 100 X 109/L, patients present with anemia, bleeding, infection, and sometimes splenomegaly.
What is Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia?
This disease causes an increased PT, aPTT, and D-DIMER and a decreased fibrinogen and platelet count.
What is DIC?
This screening test is used to monitor for various inflammatory states. Looks at how much RBC settling will occur in a well-mixed blood sample over a one hour period.
What is the ESR?
The process of removing antibody from serum.
What is adsorption?
This process is the conversion of glucose to glycogen for storage purposes.
What is glycogenesis?
This leukemia is characterized by the presence of greater than 20% blasts in the blood and/or bone marrow. It is the most common group of leukemias in adults ad children younger than 1 year of age.
What is Acute Myeloid Leukemia?
This anticoagulant is a vitamin K antagonist and uses the PT and INR to monitor
What is coumadin?
If a urine sample has a ph of 9, this is what we should do-
What is recollect the sample?
This transfusion reaction is associated with infusion of antibodies to leukocyte antigens and the patient may experience fever, chills, dyspnea, cyanosis, hypotension, and bilateral pulmonary edema.
What is TRALI?
This test is used to estimate the GFR.
What is the creatinine clearance test?
