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
Immunohematology/blood banking:
* detects abnormal antibodies in serum
antibody screen
Immunohematology/blood banking:
* detects abnormal antibodies on RBCs
direct antihuman globulin test or direct Coombs
Immunohematology/blood banking:
* identifies abnormal antibodies in serum
panel
Immunohematology/blood banking:
* ABO, Rh typing, and compatibility
type and crossmatch, type and screen
- performs tests to evaluate the body’s immune response; that is, the production of antibodies and cellular activation
- analyses of serum antibodies in certain infectious agents (primarily viral agents) are performed in this section
- blood collection for this section uses red stoppers
immunology/serology
Screening test for human immunodeficiency virus
Anti-HIV
Hormone found in the urine and serum during pregnancy
human chorlonic gonadotropin (HCG)
Elevated levels indicate inflammatory disorders
C-reactive protein (CRP)
Detects cytomegalovirus infection
Cytomegalovirus antibody (CMV)
detects hepatitis A current or past infection
Hepatitis A
Detects hepatitis B infection
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG)
- is a large and independent laboratory
- provides specialized and confirmatory laboratory tests for blood, urine, and tissues
- FAST turnaround time
