Assessment of Hematologic Function and Treatment Modalities
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Bone Marrow Aspiration Procedure | Posterior superior iliac crest is the preferred site Client is placed either in lateral position with one leg flexed or in prone position |
Autosomal Dominant diseases | Factor V Leiden, Familial hypercholesterolemia, hereditary angioedema, hereditary spherocytosis, von Willebrand disease |
Epoetin Alfa | |
Megaloblastic Anemia | |
Monocytes | |
T Lymphocytes | Responsible for Cell-mediated immunity Recognizes foreign material |
Basophils | |
Plasma | Fluid portion of blood 55% Contains albumin, globulin, fibrinogen... necessary for clotting Electrolytes, waste products, and nutrients |
Decreased Hemoglobin level | Pallor, |
Neutrophils | WBC capable of phagocytosis; primary defense against bacterial infection |
Myeloid Stem Cell | Responsible for the production of red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets |
Cytokines | Proteins from leukocytes, vital to regulate hematopoiesis, apoptosis, and immune responses |
Erythrocyte | Red blood cell Involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide to body tissues |
Erythropoiesis | Process that involves the formation of RBCs Helps Bbone marrow in the production of blood cells |
Erythropoietin | Hormone produced by the kidney It's necessary for erythropoiesis |
Fibrin | Forms thrombus and blood clot |
Fibrinogen | Protein that converts into fibrin |
Granulocyte | Granulated WBC (neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil) |
Hematocrit | % of total blood volume of RBCs |
Hemoglobin | Iron-containing protein of RBCs Delivers O2 to tissues |
Leukocyte | Aka: WBC Involved in the defense of the body (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes) |
Leukopenia | Less than normal number of WBCs in circulation |
Lymphocyte | WBC involved in immune functions |
Oxyhemoglobin | O2 and hemoglobin found in arterial blood |
Phagocytosis | Process of cellular ingestion and digestion of foreign bodies |
Plasminogen | Protein that forms plasmin to dissolve thrombi and clots |
Platelet | AKA thrombocyte Involved in blood coagulation |
RBC | AKA erythrocyte Involved in the transport of O2 and CO2 |
Stem cell | Primitive cell, capable of self-replication and differentiation into myeloid or lymphoid stem cell |
Bone marrow | Site of hematopoiesis 4-5% of total body weight Vascular Involves the pelvis, ribs, vertebrae, and sternum |
Extramedullary hematopoiesis | Process in which the liver and the spleen resume production of blood when there is a marrow destruction, fibrosis, or scarring |
Lymphoid stem cells | Produce T/B lymphocytes Have immune functions |
Myeloid stem cells | Include erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets Produces blood cells |
Clinical manifestations for Anemia | Pallor, dizziness, fatigue |
Stroma | |
Immature RBCs | |
Reticular Sites | |
Vitamin B12 and folic acid Deficiency | Neurological issues, parasthesia |
Elevation in neutrophils | Bacterial infection |
Elevation in lymphocytes | Viral infection |
Bands | Immature WBCs |
Equimosis | |
Petechiae | |
Anaphylaxis |
