Question
Answer
percent of RBCs defined as (in lab)   hematocrit  
🗑
plasma is 92% water plus . . .   proteins, solutes in this component of spun blood  
🗑
plasma proteins gen made by   liver makes these  
🗑
albumin is transporter pro and has this role also   osmotic pressure - part of bp contributed to by (this protein) and its attraction for water  
🗑
if liver doesn't make plasma proteins, less osmotic pressure -->   water moves from bv into tissue (edema)  
🗑
however we get to low protein state this symptom occurs   ascites (edema in abd cavity) is associated with dec. plasma pro bwo starvation, liver failure  
🗑
globulins also transport things like   these proteins transport hormones, lipids, lipoproteins(LDL/HDL, immune fx (gamma globulins AKA antibodies)  
🗑
fibrinogen helps with   coagulation, made by liver  
🗑
plasma also contains nutrients Pro, CHO, LIP   nutrients carried by plasma  
🗑
creatine, amonium and urea/uric acid also found in   plasma as waste products  
🗑
formed elements contain   RBCs, some WBCs and platelets. Lab test is CBC to determine #/types of cells  
🗑
If we want to know type of WBCs from CBC then need to order this lab   CBC with differential  
🗑
WBCs = neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils nmeonic   never let monkeys eat bananas  
🗑
neutrophils are phagocytic   yes  
🗑
lymphocytes   increased in infection, make antibodies or are helpers or are able to attack infected cells  
🗑
monoctyes   macrophages when in tissue space, eat dead, dying or infected cells. Usually see in chronic infections.  
🗑
eosinophils   2-4% of WBC are phagocytes that eat antigen/antibody complexes (as in allergies, autoimmune), parasites  
🗑
basophil   a little bit of histamine (inflammatory chemical) --> bv vasodilation and inc permeability of capillaries  
🗑
Hgb is a protein in RBC made by   bone marrow  
🗑
bone marrow makes these cells   RBC, WBC and platelets (bwo megakaryocte)  
🗑
pluripotent cells are undifferentiated stem cells in bone marrow can --> RBC, WBC or platelet depending on hormone or factors stimulate it. For RBC it is . . ..for platelets it is . . .   *erythropoeitin(from kidneys, some liver). Thrombopoeitin stimulates for platelet production (made in liver)  
🗑
If you have liver failure, can't make thrombopoeitin-->platelets --> this type of disease   clotting disorders  
🗑
Interleukins are stimulating factors for   WBC cell stimulation/proliferation  
🗑
diseases of bone marrow interfere with homeostasis, -->   *can't make RBC, hypoxia *can't make WBC, infectons  
🗑
aplastic anemia   when bone marrow shuts down  
🗑
leukemia   cancer of WBC lines(can be of any). mutation of pluripotent cell--> massive production of one in line (leukocyte, neutrophil, etc). Overproduction of cancer cell, underproduction of everything else  
🗑
treatment of leukemia   chemotherapy and/or radiation to kill cancer cells, then bone marrow transplant. gen require protective isolation.  
🗑
if decreased RBC and/or decreased Hgb and/or decreased Hct -->   anemia which results in hypoxia  
🗑
anemia results in   hypoxia or decreased 02 carrying capacity of blood  
🗑
if hypoxia then this hormone will stimulated bone marrow to increase RBCs   EPO (difficult to do if kidney diseased)  
🗑
heme is made of   Fe and bilirubin(porphyrin ring)  
🗑
bilirubin is byproduct of RBC degregation, which binds to albumin to liver then transported by transferrin to   liver, major storage, then to bile and/or  
🗑
if pt presents with jaundice, this indicates   liver failure and/or hemolytic anemia (yellow pigment of bilirubin breakdown)  
🗑
bilirubin (unconjugated) is destructive to this type of tissue   neural tissue affected by this byproduct of RBC degredation  
🗑
Bilirubin --> liver for conjugation, then --> intestine (urobilinogen, makes feces brown) -->   urobiinogen to blood stream --> kidneys --> urobilinogen (sign of too much bilirubin conjugated indicates disease like hemolytic anemia  
🗑
Hgb A1C measures what   this test measures glycosylation of the protein (how much sugar is on the Hgb)  
🗑
hemostasis defn and process   stopping bleeding bwo spasm, platelet plug, coagulation (12 coagulation factors, no #6 so it looks like 13)  
🗑
coagulation cascade factors arrive at site of hemostasis to form stable fibin clot   process of step 2 hemostasis  
🗑
anticoagulants to break up clots in vessels   TPA, streptokinase, ASA,  
🗑
Extrinsic cascade if vessel damaged from outside   Intrinsic pathway used if vessel damaged from inside (arteriosclerotic clot--> hydrostatic shearing of epithelial lining vessel)  
🗑
hemophilia classification based upon what coagulation factor they are missing   how hemophilacs are treated . . .give them missing coagulation factor (synthetic)  
🗑
ASA helps prevent   platelet plug formation  
🗑
Heparin inhibits formation of . . .   thrombin and Vit K useage  
🗑
coumadin interferes with   Vit K dependent factors (factors II, VII, IX and X)  
🗑
coumadin -extrinsic - PT, INR as to   heparin, intrinsic pathway - APTT (thrombin)  
🗑
what type of patient needs anticoagulation tx?   *pulmonary embolism (piece of thrombus that breaks off) *post op *mechanical heart valve (titanium is sticky for platelets) *atrial fibrillation - cuz blood that's not flowing quickly is likely to clot  
🗑
ASA effects   platelets with respect to clotting cascade  
🗑
TPA = (used to inhibit thrombin)   tissue plasminogen activator, used for lysing clot when no longer needed (fibrinolysis pathway)  
🗑
Blood Type A has surface Ag A   Type B has Ag B on it  
🗑
Type AB has both A and B antigens   Type 0 has no antigens  
🗑
Type A has these antibodies   Anti-B antibodies  
🗑
Type B has these antibodies   Anti-A antibodies  
🗑
Type AB has these types of antibodies   no antibodies  
🗑
Type O has these antibodies   Anti-A and Anti-B  
🗑
Rh antigen = D antibody therefore if Rh+   no Anti-D antibody  
🗑
Rh- can make antibody against D in the case of   'sensitization' or exposure such as Rh+ transfusion OR Rh- mom exposed by Rh+ fetus during birth or late term abortion/miscarriage  
🗑
Give Rhogam to prevent Ab production in   Rh- mom  
🗑
If mom is Rh-, give her Rhogam in what pregnancy?   all pregnancies  
🗑
Do we give Rhogam to Rh+ mom?   nope  
🗑
transfusion reaction: Recipient is A+, donor is Type B+   recipient has antibody to donated cell --> hemolysis (which is the transfusion reaction) --> globin etc clogs capillaries -->glomerular fxn decreases -> kidney failure --> dialysis or death may occur  
🗑
universal donor type   O- (no antigens whatsoever, no transfusion reaction possible)  
🗑
Universal recipient type   AB+ (has all possible antigens, so doesn't make ANY anti-antibodies to ANY antigen)  
🗑
