| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| For an adult female, what is the reference range for a RBC count? | 4.0-5.4x10^6/microlitre |
| For an adult female, what is the reference range for Hct? | 37-47% |
| For an adult female under 50, what is the reference range for ESR? | less than or equal to 13mm |
| True or false: An adult male over 50 would have an ESR reference range of 20 or less mm | False; females over 50 have 20 or less mm |
| In adult males, (blank) would be the reference range for a Hgb test. | 13-18g/dL |
| In males under 50, what is the reference range for an ESR | 10 or less mm |
| Why would a reticulocyte count exceed 2% in a newborn? | they are engaged in more erythropoiesis |
| Less than 2% is the average reference range for what kind of test? | Reticulocyte count |
| What is the reference range for an adult male Hct? | 40-52% |
| 11-16g/dL is the reference range for an adult female's | Hgb |
| What would the MCV range be to classify a microcytic cell? | less than 80 fl |
| What range would classify Normochromic cells? | 32-36% |
| Microcytic hyperchromic cells would have MCV and MCHC ranges of... | less than 80fl and more than 36% |
| What causes normocytic, normochromic anemias to occur | Improper (hypo) proliferation of erythrocytes in the bone marrow, likely due to chronic illness, bone marrow disorder, or early on iron deficiency anemia |
| Discocyte= | RBC (normal) |
| When would polychromatophilia be seen in a peripheral blood smear? | When a patient's blood is attempting to regenerate quickly |
| The presence of blister cells would indicate towards what kind of anemia? | Heinz-bodies mediated (microangiopathic) hemolysis (mechanical RBC trauma) |
