Results in decreased oxygen delivery 2 tissues
Anemia
38
Any substance that prevents clot formation
Anticoagulant

A severe form of anemia caused by the loss of functioning red bone marrow
Results in a decrease in the number of all blood cells
May require a bone marrow transplant
Aplastic anemia

Comprehensive blood test that includes RBC count, WBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, WBC differential and platelet count
Complete blood count
| CBC
47
Usually a piece of thrombus breaks away and floats through the bloodstream until it lodges in a smaller blood vessel and blocks blood flow
Embolus
48
A blood test that measures the rate at which the RBC's settle out of the blood 2 form a sediment at the bottom of the test
tube
Indicates the presence of an inflammatory disease
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
