M3:U3 Blood Porphobilinogen Bilirubin Urobilinogen Flashcards
Increase in rbc
Hematuria
Increase in hemoglobin due to lysis of rbc or prolonged standing
Hemoglobinuria
heme containing compounds that are also positive in chemical test
Hemoglobin
myoglobin
intact rbc
cytochrome
Porphyrin precursor intermediate compound in heme synthesis
Porphobilinogen
Orange yellow pigment formed by heme containing proteins
Bilirubin
Colorless compound formed from deconjugation of bilirubin
Urobilinogen
20% of urobilinogen are reabsorbed and reduced to
stercobilinogen
2% to 5% of urobilinogen
Excreted in urine
Hemoglobin is normally bound to ___ in the bloodstream
Haptoglobin
When all of haptoglobin has already been bound this can easily pass through the gfb
Free hemoglobin
Pathway of free hemoglobin in the kidney
reabsorbed in PCT
catabolized to ferritin by RTC
denatured to hemosiderin
Within 2 to 3 days after hemolytic episode
Caused by presence of intravascular hemolysis where rbcs are lysed prior to reaching gfb
True hemoglobinuria
Results from rbc lysis in urinary tract or urine due to alkaline or hypotonic urine more common
Pseudo hemoglobinuria
Differentiate true hemoglobinuria versus pseudo hemoglobinuria
Presence of hemosiderin granules (tested through prussian blue test)
Release due to muscle damage
Myoglobinuria
