36
Q

EDTA salts

A

sodium, potassium and lithium

37
Q

____ more soluble than _____

A

dipotassium, disodium

38
Q

equally effective, sample of blood can be used for chemical investigations

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

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

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

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

57
Q

recommended add in heparin

58
Q

heparin is produced by

A

basophils and mast cells

59
Q

heparin accelerates

A

antithrombin III

60
Q

heparin neutralizes ____ and prevents formation of ____

A

thrombin ; fibrin

61
Q

heparin prevents formation of

A

clots and extension of existing clots

62

break down clots already formed

63
Q

sample collection for heparin

65
Q

uses of heparin

A

ammonia, carboxyhemoglobin, blood gases, electrolytes, esr, methamoglobin, osmotic fragility and hla typing

66
Q

disadvantages of heparin

A

costly, Not suitable for blood counts as it often induces platelet and leucocyte clumping, Should not be used in study of PCR with restriction enzymes because it inhibits enzyme activity.

67

edta (lavender)

68
Q

used for coagulation studies

A

sodium citrate (blue)

69
Q

fused for glucose determination

A

k-oxalate/sodium fluoride (grey)

70
Q

used for collection of serum

A

no additive, red

71
Q

used for preservation of RBC for blood banking and HLA typing

A

ACD (yellow)

72
Q

used for inhibition of thrombin activation

A

Heparin (green)

73
Q

required volume for preservation of blood

A

15mL of ACD and 14mL of CPD and CPDA-1 is required for preservation of blood

74
Q

initial pH of acd, cpd and cpda

A

Initial pH of ACD 5.0 and of CPD & CPDA-1 is 5.6

75
Q

storage time at 2-6 degree celcius for ACD, CPD AND CPDA-1

A

storage time at 2-6 degree celsius for ACD and CPD is 21 days and for CPDA-1 is 35 days.

76
Q

causes chelation of calcium

77
Q

prevents fall in pH

A

sodium diphosphate

78
Q

addition of glucose prolongs survival of stored RBC as it is required for metabolism. Glucose passes from plasma to RBC and is utilized for energy production.

79
Q

2 pathways for energy production

A

90% embedem mayeroff and 10% pentose phosphate

80
Q

there is breakdown of glucose into lactate though anaerobic glycolysis.

A

90% embedem mayeroff pathway

81
Q

added in modified CPD as it improves viability of RBC because of enhanced ATP production.

82
Q

pathway through aerobic glycolysis

A

10% pentode phosphate

83
Q

fairly weak tribasic hydroxy acid.

A

citric acid

84
Q

storage environment of RBC is altered by adding certain nutrients after removal of plasma.

A

additive system

85
Q

adjust osmotic pressure

A

sodium chloride

86
Q

maintains high level of ATP in RBC

87
Q

prevents disintegration of RBC
