Urinalysis (UA) | looks for presence of WBC's, bacteria, blood, pH, leukocyte esterase |
Cultures | blood, wounds, urine, throat, drainage, stool (things removed from the body) |
ESR | non-specific marker for inflammation |
Eosinophils (Agranule) | 1 - 4 % |
Eosinophils (Agranule) | -involved w/ allergic reactions
-when allergic response rises, so does the number of eosinophils
-do not respond to bacteria |
Basophils (Agranule) | 0.5 - 1 % |
Basophils (Agranule) | -involved w/ allergic reactions
- do not respond to bacterial/viral infections |
Monocytes (Granule) | 2 - 8 % |
Monocytes (Granule) | -phagocytic
-fight bacteria
-produce rapidly
-remove necrotic debris & microorganisms from the blood |
Lymphocytes (Granule) | 20 - 40 % |
Lymphocytes (Granule) | -fight bacteria and acute vial infections |
Neutrophils (Granule) | 55 - 70 % |
Neutrophils (Granule) | -kill bacteria
-form in 7 - 14 days, only live for 6 hours
-produced by acute infection or trauma
-bands form (infection) |
WBC | 5,000 - 10,000 |
WBC | -measures the % of each type of leukocytes present |
