Rbc And Bleeding Disorders

Front 1

the most important RC dse

Back 1

anemia

Front 2

RC def states that most commonly have a _____________ basis

Back 2

non-neoplastic

Front 3

reduction of the total circulating RC mass below normal limits and reduces O2 carrying capacity of blood

Back 3

Anemia

Front 4

reduction of O2 carrying capacity of blood will lead to

Back 4

hypoxia

Front 5

anemia is diagnosed based on 2 things. what are they?

Back 5

hematocrit and hemoglobin conc. of the blood

Front 6

RC morphologic characteristics which provides etiologic clues includes what? (4)

Back 6

red cell size, degree of hemoglobulinization, color, shape

Front 7

caused by d/o of hemoglobin synthesis (most often iron def)

Back 7

microcytic hypochromic anemias

Front 8

caused by abn that impair the maturation of erythroid precursors in the bone marrow

Back 8

macrocytic anemias

Front 9

most useful RC indices are: (4)

Back 9

mean cell volume (femtoliters), mean cell Hb (picograms), mean cell Hb conc (g/dL), RC distribution width (study each)

Front 10

clinical features of severe anemia

Back 10

pale, weakness, malaise, easy fatigability, may also cause dyspnea and hypoxia

Front 11

CNS hypoxia can cause: (3)

Back 11

headache, dimness of vision, faintness

Front 12

T/F: effects of acute blood loss are mainly due to the loss of extracellular volume, which if massive can lead to CV collapse, shock and death

Back 12

FALSE
intracellular volume not extracellular

Front 13

how many days would it take for the progenitor of CFU-Es (committed erythroid progenitor) to mature and appear as reticulocytes?

Back 13

5 days
