A case of mistaken identity in which the body's immune system, which ordinarily attacks intruders like viruses and bacteria, attacks itself.

White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are one of four types of cells that make up blood. They are produced in the ______ and play an important role in your immune system.

Your immune system is fighting a disease or infection.

A disease, autoimmune disorder, or other condition has weakened your immune system.

Blood cells that mainly fight bacterial infections.

A condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys neutrophils.

A disorder in which red blood cells die faster than they are made, often due to an underlying genetic or autoimmune cause.

A group of cancers that start in cells of the lymphatic system.

The reference range for the total white blood cell (WBC) count. MALES.

Used to replenish the blood supply when there aren't enough healthy blood cells.

Medications that reduce the immune response in people with autoimmune diseases.

Can occur in children and adults.

Most likely to affect people over age 55. It’s very rarely seen in children.

These are used in treating patients with Leukemia, except.

Cause blood cells (platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells) to grow abnormally in the bone marrow.

Most people with polycythemia vera have a mutation in a gene called Janus kinase 2 (JAK2).

A very rare subtype. Its name comes from the appearance of the cancerous lymphocytes under a microscope.

The bone marrow produces too many cells called megakaryocytes, which eventually develop into platelets.

Is a condition in which the bone marrow produces too many mature and immature white blood cells.

Comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled production of lymphocytes that cause monoclonal lymphocytosis, lymphadenopathy and bone marrow infiltration. These diseases often occur in immunocompromised individuals.

Removes fluid and cells by inserting a needle into the bone marrow and sucking out (aspirating) fluid and cells

PBS should be in the central 2/3 of slide.

It should have straight lateral border and short tongue shaped tail.

An abnormal white blood cell count can indicate that your immune system is functioning as normal.

If your test results are abnormal, it may mean that your numbers are higher or lower than the normal range for your age.

Leukopenia is the medical term used to describe a low WBC count. This can be triggered by:

An elevated white blood cell count may also be chronic or long lasting with the following condition:

Is almost always part of a complete blood count (CBC) test. The test help diagnose different kinds of anemia and other conditions.

A high red blood cell count is a condition called polycythemia vera.

Symptoms and complication of too many platelets include:

The average hematocrit measurement for human beings is 45%, which means that the red cell volume contains 45 mL per 1000 mL of blood.

High hematocrit may be caused by ALL , Except.

A false low hematocrit may be reported if the patient has microcytosis, in vitro hemolysis, or auto agglutinins. Hematocrit is considered critically low if it falls below 21% (<21%).

Total Iron-Binding Capacity (Serum Transferrin)

REFERENCE RANGE IN ADULTS.

Transferrin Saturation. REFERENCE RANGE IN ADULTS.

Used primarily to help diagnose the cause of anemia. Usually ordered in follow up to abnormal results on a complete blood count (CBC), such as a low red blood cell (RBC) count and low hemoglobin and hematocrit.

Increased EPO level may be due to secondary polycythemia. This is an overproduction of red blood cells that occurs in response to an event such as low blood oxygen level.

Patient in ER has normal PT and prolonged APTT. He was being tested and found out that when given normal plasma, adsorbed plasma, & aged plasma his deficiency in this coagulation factor will be corrected.

Patient in ER has prolonged PT and prolonged APTT. He was being tested and found out that when given normal plasma, & aged plasma his deficiency in this coagulation factor will be corrected and with the adsorbed plasma it will not be corrected.
