Clinical Microscopy & Immunohematology/Blood Banking (47 cards)
Urine analysis and other body fluids
CLINICAL MICROSCOPY
CLINICAL MICROSCOPY
❖ This section comprise two areas:
● Urine analysis and other body fluids
● Examination of stool or routine fecalysis
● detects blood, bilirubin and
other pigments
● Depends on hydration
status
● Normal color of urine =
Yellow
Color
Examination of stool or routine fecalysis
CLINICAL MICROSCOPY
Detects cellular and crystalline
elements
Appearance
________ is the routine screening
procedure to detect disorders and infections of the kidney and to detect metabolic disorder such as diabetes mellitus and liver disease
Urinalysis
Measures the concentration of
urine
Specific
gravity
Consists of physical, chemical, and microscopic examination in urine
CLINICAL MICROSCOPY
Determines the acidity of urine
pH
Elevated levels indicate
KIDNEY DISORDERS
Protein
Elevated levels indicate
DIABETES MELLITUS
Glucose
Detects red blood cells or
hemoglobin
Blood
Elevated levels indicate LIVER
DISORDERS
Bilirubin:
Elevated levels indicate LIVER
or HEMOLYTIC DISORDER
Urobilinogen
Detects BACTERIAL
INFECTION
Nitrite
● Detects WBC
● Indicates urinary tract
infection (UTI) if there is
a lot of neutrophils
Leukocyte
esterase
Determines the number and
type of CELLULAR ELEMENTS
Microscopic
3 TYPES OF ANALYSIS PERFORMED
- Macroscopic Examination
- Chemical Examination
- Microscopic Examination
Blood typing and compatibility testing
are the two main activities performed in
this section.
Immunohematology/Blood Banking
ABO and Rh typing
Group and Type
Detects abnormal
antibodies in serum
Antibody screen
Screening for all ANTIBODIES and
identification of antibodies as well as blood components used for transfusion are also conducted.
Immunohematology/Blood Banking
Detects abnormal
antibodies on RBCs
Direct antihuman
globulin test or direct
Coombs
Blood bank samples are collected in plain red, lavender, or pink stopper plasma.
