<p>A decrease in total red cell mass - due to FEWER RBCs or SMALLER RBCs with less hemoglobin.</p>
<p>Anemia</p>
<p>\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_ anemia: Small, pale (less HGB) red blood cells. Due to IRON deficiency.</p>
<p>Microcytic (small), hypochromic (pale)</p>
<p>\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ anemia: Few, large cells, filled with HGB (dark red color). Due to FOLATE or B12 deficiency. </p>
<p>Macrocytic, megaloblastic</p>
<p>A type of megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency - impaired absorption of B-12 because of a lack of intrinsic factor (IF).</p>
<p>Pernicious anemia</p>
<p>In microcytic anemia, the MCV (mean corpuscular volume) is \_\_\_\_\_\_, indicating small cell size.
In macrocytic anemia, the MCV is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, indicating large cells.</p>
<p>Microcytic anemia, MCV is low (95).
*NORMAL MCV: 80-95 fL*</p>
<p>In microcytic anemia, the MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin) is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, indicating pale cells with little hemoblogin.
Macroyctic anemia, the MCH is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, indicating dark, red cells filled with hemoglobin.</p>
<p>Microcytic anemia, MCH is low (32).
*NORMAL MCH: 27-32 pg*</p>
<p>Foods high in iron include:</p>
<p>Foods high in iron:
Liver, kidney, beef, dried fruits, dried peas and beans, nuts, leafy green vegetables, fortified whole grains</p>
<p>The Ag-Ab reaction is when an \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ enters the body, an \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ reacts. This is a natural, protectie mechanism against foreign substances (pollen, flowers).</p>
<p>Antigen, Antibody</p>
<p>Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated reaction is a reaction to a normally \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ food \_\_\_\_\_\_.</p>
<p>Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated reaction is a reaction to a normally harmless food protein.</p>
<p>*The most common allergens include:
</p>
<p>*
Peanuts
Egg
Milk
Soy
Wheat
Shellfish</p>
<p>Cow's milk protein is the single most common allergen in \_\_\_\_\_\_. </p>
<p>Infants</p>
<p>Double-blind, placebo controlled food challenges (DBPCFC) identifies \_\_\_\_\_\_ induced symptoms. This is the GOLD STANDARD for diagnosis.</p>
<p>Food-induced</p>
<p>RAST test for identifying food allergies done outside of the body. It is the alternative to a \_\_\_\_\_ test. Serum is mixed with food on paper disk and IgE antibodies are measured.</p>
<p>RAST test alternative to a skin test.</p>
<p>\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is the food LEAST likely to cause an allergy.</p>
<p>Rice</p>
<p>A food \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is an abnormal physiologic response, but NO antibody production. NON-IgE.</p>
<p>Intolerance</p>
<p>In fever and infection, excesive fluid loss may lead to dehydration.</p>
<p>Also, *the BMR INCREASES \_\_% for each degree rise in body temperature.</p>
<p>The BMR increases 7% for each degree rise in body temperature.</p>
<p>Burns cause a tremendous increase in need for nutrients. There is a massive loss of \_\_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and \_\_\_\_\_.</p>
<p>Massive loss of fluids, electrolytes, and protein.</p>
<p>When treating burns, the first goal is to *\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_\_.</p>
<p>Then, increase calorie (recovery period) and protein (secondary period) intake (1.5-3.0 g/kg).</p>
<p></p>
<p>May need to supplement water-soluble vitamins, add vitamin C and Zn, and vitamin K if on antibiotics.</p>

<p></p>
<p>May need to supplement water-soluble vitamins, add vitamin C and Zn, and vitamin K if on antibiotics.</p>
<p>The \_\_\_ and \_\_\_ response is a metabolic response to injury. It is a hypermetabolic, catabolic response to trauma.</p>
<p>Lean body mass is catabolized to release glucose for energy, leading to a negative Nitrogen balance.</p>
<p>Ebb and Flow response</p>
