What are the values that correspond with anemia?
♂: Hgb < 13-18 g/100ml
♀: Hgb < 12-16 g/100 ml
What are three causative factors for anemia?

- Destruction of erythrocytes
- Decreased or faulty erythrocyte production
Autosomal recessive disorder where there is abnormality in hemoglobin is known as ________.
sickle cell disease
Sickle cell presentations include chronic hemolytic anemia, vaso-occlusion, and sickle cell crisis caused by the following physiologic stressors:
Viral or bacterial infection Hypoxia Dehydration Extreme temperatures ETOH Fatigue
Incomplete of abnormal fx of Hgb with presentation of severe anemia that leads to endocrine, cardiac, and liver pathology is called ___________.
Thalessemia
Thalessemia is caused by _________ in the 4 HgB genes.
1-4 abnormalities
Increased RBCs occur with which condition?
Polycthemia Vera
Primary polycthemia vera is excess RBCs due to ___________.
bone marrow abnormality
Secondary polycthemia vera is often caused by prolonged hypoxia (altitude or obstructive lung disorders) which results in increased erthropoietin. What type of disorders are associated?
Renal disorder
The following presentations are consistent with ______ WBC counts, known as ____________.
o Dehydration
o Tachycardia
o Mental status change
low WBC = leukocytosis
The following presentations are consistent with ________.
o Increased infection risk with low WBC (neutropenia)
o Increased precautions that are facility dependent
leukopenia
