Q

how does EDTA work

A

chelates calcium in an irreversible and aggressive manner

calcium is required for clot formation, so EDTA prevents clot formation

9
Q

how does citrate work

A

also inhibits calcium, but in a more gentle and stoichiometric ratio
if you add excess Ca2+ you can re-coagulate the blood

19
Q

intrinsic pathways factors

A

prekallikrein, HMWK, 12, 11, 9, 8

20
Q

common pathway factors

A

10, 5, 2 (prothrombin), 1 (fibrinogen)

21
Q

what screening tests evaluate platelets

A
platelet count
platelet function (PFA-100, aggregation studies)
22
Q

how low do clotting factor levels have to be before you see an elevated PT, PTT or clinical risk of bleeding

A

levels less than 30-50% give abnormal tests

clinical bleeding at <10%

23
Q

what makes up BM?

A
sinusoids
hematopoietic cells
fat
cells: fat = 1:1
myeloid: erythroid = 3:1
24
Q

what does a bone marrow aspirate evaluate

A

cellular morphology

cell counts

25
Q

what does a bone marrow biopsy evaluate

A

architecture

infiltrates

26
Q

what is an immunophenotype and how is it evaluated

A

assessment of lymphoid cells or blasts

flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry

27
Q

what are some genetic analysis tests for BM/lymph nodes

A
cytogenetics
FISH
molecular techniques
-single/few = PCR, sanger
-many = next gen
28
