clin path 7 Flashcards
increase in wbc
leukocytosis
decrease in wbc
leukopenia
increase in lymphocytes
lymphocytosis
decrease in lymphocytes
lymphopenia
increase in monocytes
monocyotsis
decrease in monocytes
monocytopenia
increase in neutrophils
neutrophilia
decrease in neutrophils
neutropenia
increase in eosinophils
eosinophilia
decrease in eosinohpils
eosinopenia
increase in basophil
basophilia
decrease in basophil
basopenia
corrected WBC (cWBC)
cWBC= WBC * (100/100+nRBC)
impedance count
WBC impedance count termed WIC:
WBC count must be corrected
optical count
WBC optical count
termed WOC
WBC count does not need to be corrected
neutrophils in bone marrow
5 days
neutrophil in blood
10-12 hours
neutrophil in tissue
< 2 days
proliferating
myeloblast
promyelocyte
myelocyte
maturation
metamyelocyte
band
segmenter
cattle and horses
small storage pool-under developed
cats
large marginal pool
dogs and cats
1-2 day storage
more segmented neutrophils
bands
one step down from segmented neutrophils
fully functional in pool mautration
regenerative left shift
mild to moderate left shift accompanying a neutrophilia
bone marrow is responding to tissue inflammation and releasing earlier neutrophils from the maturation pool
number of neutrophil is greater than bands
number of bands greater then reference interval
degenerative left shift
immature neutrophil>mature segmented neutrophils
bands greater than segments
neutropenia (based on segmented neutrophil count)+ left shift
the bone marrow cannot keep up with the peripheral demand for neutrophils-interprretedd as overwhelming inflammation and often suggests poor prognosis
