Blood

Front 1

Anticoagulants

Back 1

Agents that inhibit or delay the clotting process, used to prevent clots from forming in blood vessels of patients predisposed to this condition, and to preserve stored whole blood and blood products. Have no effect on already formed blood clots.

Iron-deficiency anemia

Back 40

Caused by a greater demandon stored iron than can be supplied.

Often as a result of inadequate dietary iron intake or malabsorption of iron.

Most common anemia in world.

Front 41

Folic Acid deficiency anemia

Back 41

Caused by insufficient folic acid intake because of poor diet,impaired absorption, prolonged drug therapy or increased requirements as aresult of pregnancy or rapid growth as children.
Tx: Increasingfloic acidin the diet or eliminating contributing causes.

Front 42

Pernicious Anemia

Back 42

B12 Deficiency in peripheral RBC's
Found mostly people over 50.
Stomach does not have intrinsic factor, not able to absorb B12
Tx: B12 injections

Front 43

Hemophilia

Back 43

Hereditary disorder in which the blood clotting mechanism is impaired.
Found most often in men.
Women are carriers of trait.
Lack factor VIII
(blood clotting factor)

Front 44

Back 44

Normal Range: 4.6-6.5 million
Transport Oxygen

Front 45

Separation of Blood

Back 45

Two phases seperates blood from plasma.
Heavier blood goes to the bottom of the cetrufuge vial
Plasma remains at the top

Front 46

Back 46

Blood Test
% of blood cells in a sample of blood
Normal= 45% blood cells, (mostly RBC's)
