lymphocytosis (lymphocytes >4,000)
effect of pertussis on CBC
lymphocytosis (lymphocytes >4,000)
effect of chemotherapy on CBC
leukopenia (decr WBC) from neutropenia (ANC<1500)
how to calculate ANC
total WBC x (PMNs + Bands)
chronic inflammation effect on CBC
leukocytosis (incr WBC >11,000)
WBC from most abundant to least abundant
neutrophils
lymphocytes
monocytes
eosinophils
basophils
left shift is defined as
> 700 bands
what bad infection causes high WBC count
c diff
examples of chronic inflammatory diseases
juvenille and adult RA
Kawasaki disease
IBD
Lupus
conversion of Hb and Hct
Hct can be roughly estimated by Hgx3
vital signs for acute blood loss
tachycardia
hypotension
Restless leg syndrome seen in
iron deficiency anemia
drug that’s a common cause of ulcers
NSAIDs
jaundice indicates
hemolytic anemia
anemics have what heart sign
innocent mid systolic murmur
koilonychia sseeen in
iron deficiency anemia
neurologic exam important for what type of anemia
megaloblastic anemia from B12 deficiency
polycythemia
- characteristics
- causes
- increased EPO
- lung disease (smoking, obstructive sleep apnea)
- renal cell carcinoma
polycythemia vera vs polycythemia
PV has increased WBC and platelet count (vs increase Hb and Hct)
PV has low or normal EPO (vs high EPO)
PV has JAK2 mutation
if someone has low platelets, recheck with heparin or citrate tube just in case has
pseudothrombocytopenia (platelets clump during collection)
large platelets
immune thrombocytopenic purpura
treatment for ITP
steroids
sxs of TTP/HUS
thrombocytopenia
MAHA
renal dysfunction
neurological abnormalities
fever
