You see hypochromic, microcytic RBCs and keratocytes. What kind of anemia are you thinking
iron deficiency anemia
What is the most common kind of non-regenerative anemia in domestic animals?
anemia of inflammatory dz
How do you convert % to absolute
Multiply the total nucleated cell conc by the % of each leukocyte type
How is the MCHC calculated?
Hgb x 100/PCV
What would a 2x fold leukocyte concentration indicate?
excitement
What would lymphopenia, neutrophilia (up to 2 fold) and esosinopenia indicated
stress response
A left shift in neutrophil concentration greater than 2x the reference interval indicates
inflammation
4 reasons you would see lymphocytosis?
excitement response, neoplastic lymphoproliferative dz, ag stimulation, ehrlichiosis
3 reasons for neutropenia
consumption within inflammatory lesion
immune mediated destruction
lack of production by bone marrow
3 reasons for lymphopenia
steroid response
acute viral infections
immunodeficiency (rare)
2 reasons for monocytosis
inflammation
stress response
3 reasons for Eosinophilia
Parasitism
Hypersensitivity
Mast Cell Tumor
Basophilia
usually accompanies eosinophilia
Neutrophils that proliferate and mature
Myeloblast
Progranulocyte
Myelocyte
Neutrophils that mature only
Metamyelocyte
Band
