Hematology Flashcards
bite cells, blister cells, heinz bodies (denatured hgb, super vital stain) what disease process is this?
G6PD deficiency
Antibodies attack ADAMTS13 so that it loses its function and big, uncut vWB factor (ULVWM) clogs the microvasculature. This causes clotting issues and sheer stress.
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
What globulin chains do adults have?
2- alpha
2- beta
What globulin chains does the fetus have?
2- alpha
2- gamma
Rare disorder of the erythrocytes membrane. The defect makes the cell abnormally sensitive to lysis of complement.
PNH (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria)
Large platelets, decreased plts, Dohle bodies in segs.
May-Hagglin anomoly
Large purpulish granules in cytoplasm incompletely degraded mucopolysaccharides.
Alder-Riley
Causes recurrent bacterial infections and the WBCs have bluish-gray inclusions.
Chediak-Higashi
Condition where there is a chronic sustained leukocytosis and all stages of cell maturation are seen?
Myeloproliferative Disorders
CD13 and CD33
Myeloid cells
CD41 and CD61
Megakaryoblasts
Calculate MCV
HCT/RBC x 10
Calculate MCH
HGB/RBC x 10
Calculate MCHC
HB/HCT x 100
What cells is increased in bacterial infections?
Neutrophil
What cell is increased in viral infections?
Lymphocyte
Calculate WBC
of cells counted x (1/0.9) x dilution factor
Calculate hematocrit
hgb/rbc
t(15:17)
APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia)
t(9;22) philadelphia chromosome
bcr/abl fusion gene
CML (chronic lymphocytic leukemia)
t(8;21)
AML
Expected RBC indicies in a patient with rouleaux?
RBC decreased
MCV, MCHC increased
Blasts that stain with myeloperoxidase and specific esterase are in what lineage?
myleocytic
Retic reference range?
0.5-1.5%
