Understanding Phlebotomy PT 2 Flashcards
Section:
* urine analysis and other body fluids
* examination of stool or routine fecalysis
clinical microscopy
routine screening procedure to detect disorders and infections of the kidney and to detect metabolic disorder such as diabetes mellitus and liver diseases
urinalysis
Component of urinalysis:
* detects blood, bilirubin, and other pigments
* depends on hydration status
* normal = yellow
color
Component of urinalysis:
* detects cellular and crystalline elements
appearance
Component of urinalysis:
* measures the concentration of urine
specific gravity
Component of urinalysis:
* determines the acidity of urine
pH
Component of urinalysis:
* detects rbc or hemoglobin
blood
Component of urinalysis:
* elevated levels indicate liver disorders
bilirubin
Component of urinalysis:
* elevated levels indicate liver or hemolytic disorder
urobilinogen
Component of urinalysis:
* detects bacterial infection
nitrite
Component of urinalysis:
* detects wbc
* indicated urinary tract infection (UTI) if there are a lot of neutrophils
leukocyte esterase
Component of urinalysis:
* determines the number of cellular elements
microscopy
- Macroscopic examination - color, transparency. uses naked eye
- chemical examination - glucose, blood, protein, bilirubin, etc.
- microscopic - elements analyzed under a microscope
parts of examination in clinical microscopy of urine
- blood typing and compatibility testing are the two main activities performed in this section
immunohematology/blood typing
Immunohematology/blood banking:
* ABO and Rh typing
group and type
