Hematocrit

Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria is a disease that occurs in the cold. Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, also known as PCH, mainly affects the hands and feet. In PCH, antibodies attaching themselves to the red blood cells. This gives other proteins in the blood the opportunity to attach as well. As the groups of attachments move throughout the body to warm themselves when in the cold scenarios, the antibodies destroy the red blood cells. As the cells are destroyed, the part of red blood cells that…

disorder in which ones thyroid gland cannot produce enough thyroid hormone, causing a deficiency (Porth, 2009). A few of R.M.'s lab values showed signs of hematologic abnormalities. His lab values for red blood cells (4.01), hemoglobin (12.6), and hematocrit (37.3) were all below therapeutic range, which can be interpreted as anemia. Patient R.M’s main medical diagnosis was Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). He was admitted into the hospital when his home health LPN noticed he was having…

CRP was identified from patients with acute pneumococcal pneumonia at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (Tillett and Francis, 1930), a name that reflects its reaction with the C-polysaccharide of Pneumococcus. This pentameric protein with MW 118 kDa has five non-covalently bonded and non-glycosylated identical subunits of 206 amino acids each to form a disk-shaped pentagon (Fig. 1). CRP has been proven as an early indicator of infectious or inflammatory conditions as well as a…

To what extent does Hydroxyurea work to treat Sickle Cell Anaemia? Problem: Suffering From Sickle Cell Anemia. Sickle cell anaemia is a severe hereditary disease when there is an inadequate amount of erythrocytes (red blood cells) or haemoglobin in the erythrocytes. Haemoglobin beta alongside alpha globin makes haemoglobin which contains 146 amino acids. Haemoglobin beta makes up 98% of the total haemoglobin, whilst alpha globin makes the remaining 2%. Haemoglobin beta protein is produced by…

Introduction Liver transplantation (LT) is a well-established curative therapy for irreversible chronic end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure (1-3). Since the introduction of the liver transplant procedure, it has been a standard approach to give postoperative ventilation in children and exact timing of extubation is usually debatable but it has been noted that early or even immediate extubation may be a feasible approach nowadays (4-6). It is important to assess timing of extubation…

1. Presentation of primary and secondary diagnosis Primary Diagnosis: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) Normally, as the heart contracts, it is able to exert a pressure that drives blood throughout the cardiovascular system and allows for perfusion as well as gas and nutrient exchange to take place. This blood flow is typically described by the equation Q=P/R, where Q represents blood flow, P is the pressure gradient, and R stands for total peripheral resistance.1 In a well-functioning system,…
