Hematological Determinations Flashcards
1 g of Hemoglobin is qual to how many mL of oxygen?
1 g Hb = 1.34 mL of Oxygen
Reagent use for Acid Hematin
0.1 Normal HCl
reagent use for alkali hematin
0.1 normal NaOH
enumerate the 3 direct visual colorimetric method
acid hematin, alkali hematin, & tallquist method
Considered the quickest method of assessing
a patient’s hemoglobin level
Tallquist method
Direct method done by dropping blood in a special type of paper and compare w/ the colored chart
tallquist method
most reliable and recommended method for
Hgb measurement
Indirect (Cyanmethemohlobin)
Cyanmethemoglobin is able to measure all forms of Hgb except
Sulfhemoglobin
Colorometric method that is not affected by coagulation
Cyanmethemoglobin
reagent use for cyanmethemoglobin method
Detergent-modified Drabkin’s reagent
purpose of detergent in cyanmethemoglobin method
enhance lysis of RBC; decreased turbidity
component of drabkin’s reagent that Converts hemoglobin to hemiglobin
potassium ferricyanide
components of drabkin;s reagent that
Adds the cyanide ions to producehemiglobin cyanide(HiCN) w/ci s measured at a spectra of 540nm
Shortens the time needed for
complete conversion of Hb to HiCN
Dihydrogen potassium phosphate
Considered the one w/ greatest accuracy because it estimates oxygen combining power of the blood
Gasometric (Van Slyke Capacity Method)
Impractical because of using big instrument
Gasometric
DRAWBACK: Affected by myeloma proteins, abnormal globulins, radiographic contrast
media
Copper Sulfate Method
Use to screen blood donors before
Copper Sulfate Method
SG of copper sulfate =
1.053
SG of copper sulfate = to how much of Hemoglobin?
SG of copper sulfate = 12.3 g/dL of Hgb
1 g of Hb is equal to how many content of iron?
3.47 mg but 3.35 if according to Alba
Measurement of carboxyhemoglobin
concentration in the blood
Katayama’s test
reagent use in katayama’s test
ammonium sulfide
Positive COHgb =
rose red color
