Chapter what the fuck ever Flashcards
What does electrical impedance check?
Cell size/count
electrical resistance through aperture size means identified
Optical scatter facts?
Laminar, single file line
counts,size,structure, shape, reflectivity,
different light angles measure volume, internal complexity, and components
What does the beckman coulter use to measure?
(VCS) Volume, conductivity, scanner
Beckman coulter uses what?
Volume, conductivity, scatter
Sysmex machine uses what?
Electrical impedance, Hydro Namic focusing, fluorescent flow and light scatter
What do the relative and absolute values represent?
Relative represents percent absolute represents actual number of cells
What does a histogram show?
Size on the X axis number on the Y axis
What features identify a cell?
Size, nucleus chromatin pattern, cytoplasm size of the granules
What are the causes/identifiers of reactive lymphocytes?
Dark blue outer edge mono, CMV, hepatitis (viruses)
What do plasma cells make?
Immunoglobulins
Lg(GAME)
Giant platelets can be caused by what? What do they do to testing?
They can be induced by pseudo thrombocytopenia
They can cause pseudo leukocytosis falsely raising white blood cell count
Causes of white blood cell inclusions?
Infection, inflammation, chronic disease, parasitic infection
What are and leukoerythroblastic reactions?
Increase in bands in metamyelocytes
Luekomoidis exaggerated response
Leukoerythroblastic is immature white blood cells red blood cells and platelets causing myleofibrosis
What does full cytometry measure? How does it measure?
Measures quantity, size, morphology, internal/external cell structure
Fluorescent signals admitted to specific antibodies uses cluster of differential for cell and cell lineage
An increase in white blood cells is called what?
Leukocytosis
What would cause a rise in Neutrophils?
Bacterial infections, stress, drugs
What would cause eosinophilia?
Parasitic infections, asthma
What would cause basophilia?
Anaphylaxis, hyperlipidemia, hypersensitivity
What would cause lymphocytosis?
Viral infections
What would cause monocytosis?
Chronic infections
What is a decrease in white blood cells called?
Leukocytopenia
What would cause neutropenia
Chemotherapy
