Q

Emblem- Meyerhof glycolytic pathway

A

Provides 90% of ATP needed for rbc survival

23
Q

Components of red cell cytoskeleton

A

-Spectrin. (GP-A)
-ankyrin (GP-C)
-protein 4.1
-actin (GP-B)
-adducin

24
Q

Cholesterol accumulation in rbc membrane (liver disease) results in this rbc morphology

A

Target cells

25
Q

Normal P50 value (Oxygen saturation)

A

26-30 mmHg

26
Q

Intravascular hemolysis process steps (5-10% red cell removal)

A

-rbc breakdown in blood vessel
-rbc rupture releases hemoglobin
- Haptoglobin binds free hemoglobin
-hTG/HGB carried to liver
- excess HGB is excreted in urine (hemoglobinuria) or found in plasma as unbound dimers (hemoglobinemia)

27
Q

Extravascular hemolysis process steps (90% red cell removal)

A

-RES (spleen) phagocytize red cells
-iron+transferrin back to bone marrow
-Globin returns to amino acid pool
-biliverdin+albumin back to liver as bilirubin
-bilirubin-glucorondide converted to urobilinogen, excreted to intestines with bile
-protoporphyrn ring disassembled, alpha carbon exhaled as CO (carbon monoxide)

28
Q

Tests used to measure hemolysis

A

Extravascular - direct/indirect bilirubin

Intravascular- haptoglobin (will see hemoglobinemia and hemiglobinuria when haptoglobin is exhausted)

29
Q

Causes of anemia (decreased rbc count, low h/h

A

-nutritional deficiencies
-blood loss
-increased rbc destruction
-decreased production of rbcs
-heredity/acquired defects
