Introduction Plus Fe Flashcards
Where is iron stored
Liver, spleen, bone marrow
Storage form of Fe
Ferritin
Iron transport protein
Transferrin
Aggregates of ferritin
Hemosiderin
Significantly high levels of iron
Iron overload
Causes of iron overload
Hemolytic anemia
Lead poisoning
Pernicious anemia
Acute hepatitis
Measures transferrin level
Total iron binding capacity
Significantly low levels of iron
Iron deficiency
Causes of iron deficiency
Chronic blood loss
Uremia
Impaired release of iron from RES due to infection
Acute hemorrhage
Explain serum iron analysis
Acidification using HCl to convert ferrous ion to ferric ion. Addition of glycolic acid or ascorbic acid to reduce ferric ion to shit (d ko mbsa HO). Change in solution’s color as the color indicator, tripyrifuck (d ko mbsa ulit) basta TPTZ or bathophenanthroline
It is involved in the transport of oxygen like phosphate
Ironnn
N.V. For iron
M: 66-170 ug/dl
F: 50-170 ug/dl
Ions capable of carrying an electric charge
Electrolytes
2 types of ions based on their electrical charge
Cations (+)
Anions (-)
Explain ions migrating capabilities.
Cations migrate towards the cathode.
Anions migrate towards the anode.
Electrolytes involved in volume and osmotic regulation
Na+, Cl-, K+
Electrolytes involved in myocardial rhythm and contractility
K+, Mg2+, Ca2+
Electrolytes acting as cofactors in enzyme activation
Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+
Electrolytes involved in the regulation of ATPase ion pumps
Mg2+, Na+, K+
Electrolytes involved in acid-base balance
HCO3-, K+, Cl-
