Hematology & Anemias

________ can facilitate iron absorption or orange juice would suffice.

________: young RBC, not functionally mature, anemia due to hemolysis or bleeding is characterized by reticulocytosis.

Mean corpuscular volume (________): reflect average size or volume of RBC, will tell if the patient is micro, macro, or normcytic.

________: extraversion of blood from vessels.

________ is the primary initiator of DIC.

________: Hemoglobin and hematocrit, used for anemia testing.

________ facilitates platelet adhesion → causes mild or moderate bleeding.

________: dietary or pregnancy causes.

________ in reticulocytes is due to compensation to bring up the RBC.

________: sickle cell disease (appears in waves, not constant, 4- 6 years can sickle), immune system, transfusion rejection (mismatched blood type)

________: % of any RBCs in any volume of blood (max is 44 %)

Mean cell ________ (MCHC): indicates the concentration of Hb in the average RBC, or the ratio of the weight of the Hb to the volume in which it is contained (chromicity /color)

________: external or accumulation within a tissue.

________: Normochromic and hypochromic.

55% plasma, 45% formed elements (44% RBCs)

Hemoglobin and hematocrit, used for anemia testing

% of any RBCs in any volume of blood (max is 44%)

Complete blood test; measures hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet and WBC count, used for infection

hemoglobin concentration

hematocrit concentration (packed cell volume)

red blood cell count
