30
Q

Definition of anemia

A

Reduction in circulating RBC mass

31
Q

3 surrogate markers of anemia

A

Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit

32
Q

Anemia: critical criteria

A

Men: hemoglobin < 13.5,
Women: hemoglobin < 12.5

33
Q

Microcytic anemia: definition, etiology

A

MCV < 80; Iron deficiency, thalassemia, sideroblastic, chronic disease (later); “puny tics”

34
Q

Macrocytic anemia: definition, etiology

A

MCV > 100; Nutritional efficiency, alcohol, liver disease, hypothyroidism, reticulocytosis, bone marrow disease

35
Q

Normocytic anemia: definition, etiology

A

MCV = 80 – 100; chronic disease, kidney disease, acute blood loss

36
Q

Polycythemia Vera: definition

A

Increased red blood cell count; hematocrit > 54% in men, hematocrit > 47% in women

37
Q

38
Q

Corrected reticulocyte count =

A

Reticulocyte count × Hct/45

39
Q

Corrected reticulocyte count > 3%

A

Bone marrow responding adequately; RBC are being destroyed peripherally

40
Q

Corrected reticulocyte count <3%

A

Bone marrow is not responding adequately; RBC are being underproduced

41
Q

Osmotic fragility test (OSF)

A

Diagnostic test for hereditary spherocytosis; spherocytes will demonstrate membrane fragility in a hypotonic solution

A

Screening test for G6PD deficiency

45
Q

Coombs test: direct and indirect

A

Coombs test also know as anti-globulin test. Diagnostic test for immune hemolytic anemia. Direct: test RBC for antibody or complement attachment; Indirect: test for antibody in serum

46
Q

Monospot test

A

Screening test for infectious mononucleosis caused by EBV. Also called heterophile antibody test.

47
Q

Monospot test interpretation

A

Positive test: EBV mononucleosis; Negative test: mononucleosis caused by another virus i.e. CMV.
