Normal hematocrit
4.6-6 for male/4.2-5.4 for female (x10^6/uL)
Normal WBC
4000-11000/uL
Normlal Platelets
150,000-400,000/uL
Blood smear is stained with?
Wright stain
Why is it a left shift when many band cells?
Band cells are immature neutrophils
Monocyte has long lifespan, but only stay in circulation for 3 days. Why?
They mainly stay in tissues
What is the half life for platelet?
Around 10 days
What cause platelet degranulation?
thrombin/ADP/collagen
What can induce platelet activation?
PAF/thromboxane A2/serotonin/epi
What is the final product of coagulation system?
Fibrin
Factor 8 of the coagulation factor is made by?
Endothelial cells
Factor 2/7/9/10 are dependent on liver enzyme __ which depend on ___?
gammacarboxylase/vitamine K
What is the steps for initiation of secondary hemostasis?
Thromboplastin is released at the injured cell—>activate factor 7 and form thromboplastin-factor 7 complex—>activate factor 9/10—>factor 5/10 + Ca + PF3 turn prothrombin to thrombin—>thrombin turn fibrinogen to fibrin
vWF is usually complexed with factor __?
Factor 8
What is the steps for amplification of secondary hemostasis?
Occur at platelet surface—>thrombin activates factor 5/8/11—>factor 11 activate factor 9
What is the steps for propagation of secondary hemostasis?
Factor 8/9 and Ca2+ and phospholipid form tenase—>tenase activate factor 10
Factor __ stabilizes the fibrin complex
Factor 8
Prothrombinase activity is sustained by factor __ and __
Factor 8/9
Antithrombin activity is enhanced by ___?
Heparin
Protein C inactivate factor __ and __?
5/8
Smokers have elevated ___?
EPO
What is demargination of neutrophil?
Corticosteroid cause the release of neutrophil from the marginated pool that is attached to the blood vessel wall
When iron is repleted during iron deficiency anemia, ___ increases as well?
Platelet
Iron is absorbed in the ___?
Duodenum
Internalization of ferroportin causes?
Decrease iron export to plasma (sequestering iron)
Role of heme-regulated translational inhibitor (HRI)?
Heme deficiency (from iron deficiency)—->HRI inhibit Hb synthesis by inhibiting eIF2
What does transferrin receptor (TfR) do?
Take iron from transferrin and put it in the cell
