low MCH/MCHC
hypochromic
__ most useful of RBC indices- used in morphologic classification for anemia
MCV
__ is useful to identify hypochromia which indicates Hgb synthesis
MCHC
Anemia of chronic disease presents as ___, ___
normocytic, hypochromic
iron deficiency causes
microcytic cells (low MCV)
anemia of chronic disease/inflammation, hemolysis, hemorrhage causes
normocytic cells (normal MCV)
vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency causes
macrocytic cells (high MCV)
T/F : elevation of RDW helps with the variability of the cells and helps with the diagnosis of mixed anemia
T

reticulocytopenia
causes of reticulocytopenia or reticulocytosis: hemolysis, hemorrhage, response to treatment of iron, B12 or folate
reticulocytosis
decrease in reticulocytes indicates that the bone marrow is not producing enough __ from either not being stimulated or being suppressed

thrombocytosis
T/F: heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is commonly manifests as thrombosis and no bleeding)
true
anti seizure meds that can cause thrombocytopenia
carbamazepine and valproic acid
__ is important in DNA synthesis, neurologic function and hematopoiesis. deficiency in tissues can exist prior to low serum levels. Intrinsic factor is necessary for active absorption in the GI.
