Cc3 Flashcards
Formula for LDL
LDL= TC - HDL - TAG/5/2.2
Vehicle for transport
Albumin
Ticket is….. for the bilirubin to be excreted by the kidneys
Glucuronic acid
also known as SST
Yellow top
Yellow top contains two agents:
silica particles and a serum separating gel.
the silica particles activate clotting; the serum separator consists of an ….. which floats as a layer between the blood cells and serum.
inert polymer gel
blood must be allowed to clot before centrifugation at
3500 rpm for 5 minutes.
Serum separating gel, it separates the serum from red blood cells
No anticogualant
Why does it need to be clot first?
Coz its not anticoagulated tube it will not preserve the integrity of the cells like the shape, so when you centrifuge the cells will be hemolyzed.
Why does the blood of Dialysis patient easy to hemolyzed?
The blood of the dialysis patient undergo machine and some of the blood is donated, so the integrity of its cells are fragile.
Contains silica particles as clot activator
Red top
Contains
ethylenediaminetetraaceti c acid (EDTA), which acts as a potent anticoagulant by binding to calcium in the blood,
Purple top
contains buffered sodium citrate,
which acts as an anticoagulant by binding to calcium ions in the blood
and subsequently disrupting the
clotting cascade.
Blue top
Extrinsic pathway
Prothrombin Time
Intrinsic pathway
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)
For monitoring patients with warfarin
INR
Common pathway
Thrombin Time or Fibrinogen
for monitoring patients on IV heparin infusions
APTR
