Describe the normal size, shape and color of a K-9 RBC? |
Discocytic, Normocytic and Normochromic. |
|
|
What are two classifications of anemia and differentiate between the two? |
Regenerative and Non- Regenerative: Regenerative is when the bone marrow is responding to the need for RBC's and will increase production and release immature cells into circulation. Non-regenerative is when the bone marrow isn't producing enough RBC's. |
|
|
What type of RBC will be seen in a regenerative anemia patient? |
Reticulocytes, also known as polychromatophils. |
|
|
Name the 4 signs of regenerative anemia seen on a slide? |
Anisocytosis, polychromasia, NRBC's and Howell Jolly Bodies. |
|
What kind of RBC's are shown in this picture and what do they indicate?
|
Spherocytes, which indicate AIHA. |
|
What does this slide show and indicate?
|
Heinz Bodies, which indicate Oxidative Injury. |
|
What cell is seen in this slide and what does it indicate?
|
Acanthocyte, seen in splenic or liver disorders. |
|
What cell is seen here and what does it indicate?
|
Target cells or codocytes, which indicate liver disease, iron deficiency or regenerative anemia. |
|
What is seen here and what does it indicate?
|
Schistocytes, which indicate DIC, HW disease, Hemangiosarcomas or Vasculitis. |
|
Name this cell and its indication
|
Keratocyte, indicates Heinz Body Hemolytic Anemia. |
|
Name this cell and its indication?
|
Stomatocytes, can be indicative of AIHA. |
|
|
What would a cell with Basophilic stippling look like? |
RBC with small, dark-blue bodies within the cell. |
|
|
Define Crenation and what would cause a cell to crenate? |
The shrinking of a cell, due to the pH change, from allowing the blood film to dry to slowly. |
|
|
What is a common finding in feline regenerative anemia? |
Howell Jolly Bodies. |
|
|
If I seen a small amount of different sized RBC's how would I report that? |
Anisocytosis+ |
|
|
If you were reading a smear on a patient that was given too much Tylenol that caused Oxidative injury, what would you find? |
Heinz Bodies. |
|
|
If I found approx. 12-14 platelets/OIF, how would I report that? |
Increased 12-14/OIF |
|
|
What kind of stain should be used when doing a reticulocyte count? |
New Methylene Blue |
|
|
If I found cells that varied in size, cells that lacked central pallor and cells that had many colors in a K-9 smear, how would you report that? |
Anisocytosis, Spherocytic and Polychromatic. |
|
|
If you were reading a smear on a patient that had Anemia and you found NRBC's, what type of anemia would this patient have? |
Regenerative |
