dilithium

39
Q

liquid form edta salt

A

tripottassium

40
Q

disadvantage of tripotassium edta salt

A

dilution, shrinkage of rbc, decrease in 2-3% PCV in 4 hours and gradual increase in MCV

41
Q

EDTA salt that is not recommended because of high pH

A

trisodium edta

42
Q

coding of vial of EDTA

A

lavender cap

43
Q

recommended EDTA concentration

A

1.5-2.0 mg/ml

44
Q

binds ca in soluble complex

A

Na citrate

45
Q

used for coagulation studies

A

na citrate

46
Q

vial coding of na citrate

A

blue

47
Q

acts as chelating calcium in blood used as 3.2% and 3.8%

A

trisodium citrate

48
Q

gets rid of the calcium but not strongly as edta

A

na citrate

49
Q

binds ca to form insoluble Ca oxalate

A

oxalate

50
Q

disdvantages of oxalate

A
  1. Calcium in the blood combines with oxalate to form insoluble calcium oxalate which precipitates.
  2. They are phagocyted by neutrophils-distort WBC morphology-good for smears
  3. Never used In blood to be transfused- as it is toxic and calcium oxalate precipitate may harm.
51
Q

prevents glycolysis

A

flouride

52
Q

double action of sodium flouride

A
  1. prevents clotting by chelating calcium
  2. prevents all phosphatase action
  3. prevents glycolysis for 3 days
53
Q

flouride is used for ___

A

determination of sugar

54
Q

in bacterial septicemia, fluoride inhibition of glycolysis is neither

A

adequate nor effective

55
Q

common disadvantages with calcium chelators

A
  1. Amylase activity inhibited by oxalate and citrate
  2. LDH and Acid Phosphatase inhibited by oxalate.
  3. Fluoride, heparin OR EDTA interfere with accurate determination of electrolytes.
56
Q

concentration of lithium or sodium salt
