125
Q

Osmotic Fragility and Hemolysis

interpretation

A

The color of the supernatant in the test tubes reflects the degree of red blood cell hemolysis. A clear supernatant initially indicates successful removal of hemoglobin from other cell components during washing. As the concentration of NaCl solution in the tubes decreases (moving from tube 5 to 1), the supernatant transitions to pink and then uniformly red. This signifies increasing hemolysis with higher hemoglobin concentrations in the supernatant.

126
Q

osmotic pressure and red blood cell type interpretation

A

Centrifugation revealed the influence of the solution’s tonicity on red blood cells. Tubes 1-5 (lower distilled water volume) displayed hypertonicity, causing the cells to shrink and form a pellet at the bottom. Conversely, tubes 8-10 (higher distilled water volume) were hypotonic, leading to cell swelling and potential lysis (hemolysis) due to excessive water influx. Tube 6, with equal parts NaCl solution and water, achieved isotonicity, maintaining the natural shape of the red blood cells and likely resulting in a smaller pellet. Notably, individual variations in red blood cell size and the amount of blood collected per tube can affect the size and volume of the pellet observed.

127
Q
  1. Explain the reaction of the blood to the anti-sera used in the experiment.
A

The agglutinations formed when a certain anti-serum was dropped into the blood is due to its reaction with the corresponding antigens that is present on the surface of the red blood cells. For instance, Bea’s RBCs have antigens B on its surface, and when the anti-B serum was added on a sample of her blood, agglutinations occur which lead to her RBCs’ clumping. On the other hand, Jasmine’s RBCs neither have antigens A nor antigens B causing no agglutinations to occur when anti-A and anti=B serums were added to a sample of her blood.

128
Q
  1. What is the importance of determining a patient’s bleeding and clotting time specially before surgical operation?
A

It is essential to determine the patient’s bleeding and clotting times prior to the procedure as it determines the effectiveness of a patient’s hemostatic system and forecasts the risk of excessive bleeding during and after surgery. Tests for clotting time (CT) and bleeding time (BT) are important in assessing pre-operative hemostasis, although their effectiveness has been questioned because of their sensitivity and accuracy issues. These tests aid in the diagnosis of clotting factor deficiencies, genetic coagulation abnormalities, prolonged bleeding, delayed clotting time, and blood clotting disorders. These tests can produce abnormal results that point to vitamin K insufficiency, coagulation pathway problems, hereditary illnesses, and platelet-related disorders.

129
Q
  1. What is hemostasis? What are the events involved in this process?
A

Homeostasis alludes to the balance of bodily functions necessary for a body to survive and operate, which allows it to adapt to external factors and maintain a steady internal environment. Additionally, homeostasis acts as the body’s natural reaction to injury. The events involved in this process are vascular spasms, platelet plug formation, coagulation (blood clotting), and fibrinolysis. Blood flow is restricted by vascular spasm, platelets aggregate, and the von Willebrand factor reinforces the plug. The coagulation cascade is triggered by coagulation factors, resulting in the creation of fibrin and fibrinolysis, which ultimately returns the vessel to its initial condition. All together, these phases help prevent bleeding and commence the healing process following an injury.

Q

, is ideal for red blood cell counts. It’s an isotonic solution, meaning it has the same osmotic pressure as blood. This prevents hemolysis (rupture) of red blood cells, which would compromise the accuracy of the count. Grower’s solution also avoids artifacts like rouleaux formation (clumping of RBCs) that can occur with normal saline, further enhancing the reliability of the RBC coun

159
Q

In the calculation of the RBC count, the factor 10,000 was used while for the WBC, 50 was used as the factor? Explain how these factors were derived

A

The factors 10,000 and 50 used to calculate the RBC count and WBC count, respectively, were based on the dilution and conversion process. For red blood cells, the blood is diluted with a ration of 1:200, and the factor 10,000 is used to convert the count observed in the hemocytometer to the count per cubic millimeter of the original blood sample. For white blood cells on the other hand, the blood is diluted, 1:20, with 50 as the factor used to convert the count observed in the hemocytometer to the count per cubic millimeter of the original blood sample. This difference in factors of RBCs and WBCs counts is essntial because it helps us accurately measure and compare the number of cells in the blood.

Q

Give examples of medical conditions where the RBC counts are decreased or increased.

A

Reduced red blood cell (RBC) counts are related to several medical conditions, such as anemias (iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, bone marrow disease-associated anemia, hemolytic anemia, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia), malnourishment, pregnancy, overhydration, hemolysis, severe bleeding, autoimmune diseases, chronic alcoholism, toxic chemical exposure, and genetic/family history. While dehydration, stress high altitude, smoking, low oxygen levels, polycythemia vera, certain drugs, renal cell carcinoma, and other cancers that produce erythropoietin can all contribute to an increased red blood cell count.

163
Q

Enumerate medical conditions where the WBC counts are decreased or increased.

A

Medical conditions associated with decreased WBC counts (leukopenia) include autoimmune disorders (lupus), bone marrow disorders or damage, lymphoma, severe infections, liver and spleen disease, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, alcoholism, malaria, and AIDS. On the other hand, medical conditions associated with increased WBC include the intake of certain drugs or medicines (corticosteroids, epinephrine, NSAID drugs), tuberculosis, sepsis, fever, injury or burn, pregnancy, allergies, asthma, recent vaccination, smoking, leukemia, obesity, among others.

Q

indicates a lower percentage of red blood cells. The condition implies various complications; however, it often points to anemia, wherein the body lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen effectively.

A

low hematocrit level

166
Q

ange from 41% to 50% in men and 36% to 44% in women. When the hematocrit level drops below the stated normal range, the person has too few red blood cells or anemia. The most common cause of the condition is the lack of vitamin B12 or folate, a nutrient essential for red blood cell production. Anemia often causes fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, and paleness.

Q

. How does your differential WBC count correlate with the percentages given for each type of WBC?

A

A blood differential test or differential white blood cell (WBC) count is a laboratory test measuring the percentage of each type of WBC in the blood. Various medical conditions are easily monitored simply by comparing percentages of the different types of WBCs. The test is utilized primarily to diagnose or monitor conditions such as infection, anemia, or leukemia. The test also reveals the presence of abnormal or immature cells. Normal results[1] display 40-60% neutrophils, 20-40% lymphocytes, 2-8% monocytes, 1-4% eosinophils, and 0.5-1% basophils. Comparing the normal values to our obtained data, there is a notable increase in the percentage of eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Notably, there is also a decrease in the percentage of neutrophils. An increased percentage of eosinophils may be due to Addison disease, where adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. An increased percentage of basophils may indicate myeloproliferative diseases or a group of bone marrow diseases. An increased percentage of lymphocytes may signal the presence of chronic bacterial infection, tuberculosis, lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, and viral infections. An increased percentage of monocytes may be due to chronic inflammatory disease and viral infections. On the other hand, a decreased percentage of neutrophils may be due to aplastic anemia, influenza, sepsis, and radiation therapies.

s defined by an unusually low concentration of white blood cells in the blood, which raises the risk of infection. The causes of leukopenia include reduced blood cell production by factors such as aplastic anemia, myelokathexis, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Increased usage and destruction as a result of infections, drugs, malignancy, hypersplenism, and immune neutropenia. Autoimmune conditions can also harm white blood cells and bone marrow cells. Additionally, treatments for cancer such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplants can result in leukopenia as a side effect. Infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and TB can impair the bone marrow’s capacity to generate white blood cells. Congenital disorders, hypersplenism, sarcoidosis, medicines, starvation, and severe infections can all induce leukopenia.
