What is the characteristics of the Burker-Chamber

A
  • Counting chamber
  • Need for dilution
  • Uses the grid to manually count the nr of cells in a certain area of known size.
  • Count RBC in 20 rectangles or 80 small squares *10^10
  • Poor accuracy: 10-25% error can be estimated
  • Not effective

Q

What is the characteristics of the Impedance method

A
  • Based on Coulter Principle
  • Blood cells are poor conductors of electricity, but are suspended in electrically conductive electrolyte solution
  • Two Chambers filled with conductive fluid, connected by a small aperture
  • Electric current is passed flows through the aperture
  • As cells passing through the aperture impeded flow of current and a voltage pulse is generated
  • Pulse amplitude (height) is proportional to cell size
  • Number of the pulses indicates the cell number

Q

What characterize Flow Cytometric Haematology analysers

A
  • Combination of impedance technology and flow cytometry
  • Cells are directed through a laser beam
  • Laser light is scattered and several detectors measure scattered light at different angles
  • Low angle or forward scatter correlates with cell size, the amount of high angle or scatter correlates with cell granularity or density
  • Not only size but also cell complexity/density is used to distinguish cell types

(PLT vs RBC)

Q

Why are nucleated RBCs not able to function as RBSs?

A

They are too young and therefore not able to carry oxygen

95
Q

Why do we differentiate btw regenerative and non regenerative anemias?

A

Because nucleated RBCs will never become reticulocytes or mature RBCs, so nucleated RBCs are never counted

96
Q

Why are regenerative anemia usually diseases with favourable prognosis?

A

Because enough new RBCs are produced in the bone marrow to regenerate the anaemia, to replace lost RBCs and reach normal RBC count quickly

A

Count 100-1000 RBCs and take the percent of the reticulocytes 2-3% normal

99
Q

Usually more mature RBCs are dead than young ones. Why?

A

Because mature RBCs are more sensitive to damage than young RBCs and reticulocytes

100
Q

What is iron bound to in the small intestines?

A

Apoferritin and stored like this as ferritin

126
Q

Iron in the plasma is oxidised to Fe3+ by what enzyme?

A

Coeruloplasmin enzymes

127
Q

How is iron Fe3+ transported?

A

By transferrin

128
Q

How many % of transferrin molecules carry iron?

129
Q

How many % of iron is reutilized for haemoglobin synthesis in the bone marrow?

130
Q

When iron metabolism is not closed but opened by chronic blood loss, what happens?

A

Iron storage become depleted and at the end iron deficiency anaemia will appear

131
Q

What may disturb the measurment of serum iron?

A

Fibrinogen content of the plasma, so serum plasma is needed for the analysis

132
Q

What happens when Fe2+ reacts with ferrosin?

A

It forms a red-colored chelate which can be measured photometrically

133
Q

Causes of low serum iron concentration:

A 
chronic blood loss
decreased intake (piglets, calves)
impaired gastric, duodenal, jejunal function (reduction, transport, absorption)
134
Q

Causes of high serum iron concentration:

A

iron toxicosis (overload)

135
Q

Serum iron measurement should always be performed together with:

A

TIBC analysis

136
Q

What test gives information about the transferrin content?

A

Total iron binding capacity (TIBC)

137
Q

Normal TIBC:

A

50-68 micromol/l

138
Q

Causes low TIBC:

A

chronic inflammation (negative acute phase protein, see later)

chronic liver failure (decreased transferring synthesis in the liver) neoplastic disease

139
Q

Causes of high TIBC:

A

iron deficiency anaemia:
not severe: normal iron level+high TIBC,

severe: low iron level+high TIBC

140
Q

Determination of TIBC:

A
  1. Measure seFe then,
  2. add Fe-solution to the plasma (by this method all transferrin molecules will be fully saturated),
  3. then put absorbent to the solution,
  4. centrifuge the absorbent (this binds to free Fe and goes to the sediment),
  5. Use the upper layer and check seFe again.

TIBC =serum iron level (saturated transferrin)+free transferrin (not saturated)

141
Q

Laboratory Findings in Hemolysis

A 
PCV,
reticulocytes increase (regenerative anemia) polychromasia,

poikilocytosis leukocytosis, (neutrophilia)

spherocytosis,
total bilirubin increase
indirect bilirubin decrease,
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) I,II ,

haptoglobin decrease,
RBC osmotic resistance decrease,

jaundice
hyperchromic stool,
urobilinogen and Hgb in urine increase

142
Q

What is this a example of

A

Normal Histogram

143
Q

What is this a example of

A

Non regenerative anaemia

144
Q

What is this a example of

A

Regenerative anaemia

145
Q

What is this an example of

A

Microcytic anaemia

146
Q

What is this a example of

A

Macrocytic anaemia

147
Q

What is this a example of

A

Thrombocytopenia in the recovery phase (macrothrombocytosis), often found in cats
