Bilirubin

"Anemia is a reduction in the total number of erythrocytes in the circulating blood or a decrease in the quality or quantity of hemoglobin" (McCance & Huether, 2014, p.982). There are many causes of anemia and are classified in this manner. There are three classifications: macrocytic-normochromic anemia, microcytic-hypochromic anemia, and normocytic-normochromic anemia (McCance & Huether, 2014). Macrocytic-normochromic anemias encompass pernicious anemia and folate deficiency anemia (McCance &…

Bladder Tissue Type: The bladder is a muscular pouch that holds urine. In the bladder, there is transitional epithelial tissue. This type of tissue has several layers and they can vary in appearance. It looks like a bunch of cubes squished together. The cells vary when they become more stretched. This also allows for contraction and expansion of the bladder. If the tissue did not perform these functions, then our bladder would rupture. The urine would then seep out into our body and cause a…

Gallstones may form if bile contains too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, or not enough bile salts. Scientists do not fully understand why these imbalances occur. Gallstones also may form if the gallbladder does not empty completely or often enough. People At Risk Certain people have a higher risk of developing…

be digested. Bile has a composition of: cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, an assortment of electrolytes, water, bile salts, and bile pigments. (Bile salts are mainly cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids while bile pigment consists mostly of bilirubin.) Some accessory organs associated with the small intestine play a role in bile production, storage, and concentration. The livers digestive function is to produce bile for transfer to the duodenum. In addition, the gallbladder stores any…

slow writhing movements.Athetoid is also a type of Cerebral Palsy that is primarily associated with damage to the basal ganglia, a group of subcortical nuclei in the human brain, in the form of lesions that occur during the brain development due to bilirubin encephalopathy and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. The symptoms of Athetoid include involuntary movements, tremors, poor posture, unsteadiness, twisting of the torso, slow writhing movements, abrupt movements, grimacing and or drooling. Next,…

and organs such as the spleen, kidneys, and liver. As a result, organ damage occurs, which can be fatal. Another complication is the production of gallstones. Once the red blood cells are broken down, it produces a substance called bilirubin. A high level of bilirubin can to lead to gallstones. Most men with sickle cell anemia can experience painful, lost-lasting erections, called priapism. This condition can occur spontaneously or from certain antidepressants or erectile dysfunction drugs.…

The patient may have steatorrhea or stools that contain fat, they may be clay colored due to the missing bile in the intestines. “The urine may be dark amber to tea colored and contain urobilinogen as the kidneys try to remove excess bilirubin from the blood stream.” (Cooper, 2015.) A surgical procedure is defined as a medical procedure or process involving an incision caused by an instrument. Surgical procedures are used to repair damage in a living body. The steps in the procedure…

However, current research indicates more thought needs to be given when drawing specimens. The following laboratory tests: glycemia, azotemia, alkaline, Phosphatase, SGPT, bilirubin, amylase, GGT, chlorine, troponin I, CK-MB and platelets showed no value changes when drawn from the central line with different waste volumes or drawn peripherally. Also, the values did not change if the catheter was flushed with 5ml or 10 ml of…

There is high grade brain conrusion. Comminuted fracture of the right parietal bone, linear fracture of the left parietal, breakage of the squamous suture at the right and coronal suture, fracture of the left temporal bone; laminar and meningeal hematomas with low volume of the left frontal region and…

1) What is a PCV? What does PCV stand for? What is another name for PCV? Describe the procedure for obtaining a PCV. o PCV stands for packed cell volume. o Another name for a PCV is hematocrit. o A PCV is the measurement of the ratio of packed red cells in a known volume of whole blood sample. o The procedure is to take blood from your patient and put it into a purple top tube, which has the anticoagulant EDTA in it. • Next you need to fill 2 micro hematocrit tubes with the blood about ¾ a…
