Normal ranges: 27-33
MCV: mean corpuscular volume
Normal ranges: 80-100

Question 14

These two lab markers are used to identify B6,12,folic acid, iron, and copper anemias

Answer 14

MCV and MCH

Question 15

To confirm folic acid deficiency, seen in MCV and MCH, what other two tests much be ordered?

Answer 15

MMA: methlymalonic acid and homocysteine

Question 16

An increase of MCHC would indicate

Answer 16

B12, folic acid, or dehydration

Question 17

A decrease in MCHC would indicate

Answer 17

B6, lead, aluminum, cadmium

Question 18

Another lab marker that can identify IDA is:
Platelet count
Total protein
Albumin
RDW

Answer 18

RDW: red cell distribution
Normal ranges: 11-15
can see anisocytosis (a red cell variability)

Question 19

This lab marker helps with clotting, blood coagulation and vasoconstriction:
Creatinine
Platelet count
Potassium
TIBC

Answer 19

Platelet count
Normal ranges 140-400

Question 20

An increased amount of platelet count would indicate

Answer 20

RA or arteriosclerosis

Question 21

A decrease amount of platelet count would indicate

Answer 21

thrombocytopenia

Question 22

These WBC counts identify B/T and NK cells:
ABS lymphocyte
Lymphocyte
ABS neutrophil
Neutrophils

Answer 22

ABC lymphocytes
Normal adult ranges 1-4,800
Children 3-9500

Question 23

If ABS lymphocytes are elevated this would indicate

Answer 23

Mononucleosis, TB, or stress

Question 24

If ABS lymphocytes are below average this would indicate

Answer 24

Autoimmune disease HIV

Question 25

This lab marker helps assess toxic protein metabolism: Monocytes Lymphocytes Neutrophils Basophils

Answer 25

Lymphocytes Normal range 14-46

Question 26

An increase in lymphocytes would indicate

Answer 26

Chronic viral or bacterial infection, if viral - mononucleosis

Question 27

A decreased amount of lymphocytes would indicate

Answer 27

Lupus or leukemia

Question 28

This lab marker is the real identified of risk of infection: Neutrophils ABS neutrophils ABS monocytes Monocytes

Answer 28

ABS neutrophils (also known as ANC) It is the most abundant with innate immunity Normal ranges 1,5000 - 8,000 Newborns are 7-14k

Question 29

If there is elevated ANC, this would indicate

Answer 29

RA, smoking, or bacterial infection

Question 30

If there is a decrease in ANC, this would indicate

Answer 30

Autoimmune disease or a viral infection

Question 31

This lab marker is part of phagocytosis: Neutrophil Monocyte Basophil ABS Eosinophil

Answer 31

Neutrophil Normal range: 40-74

Question 32

If neutrophils are elevated this would indicate

Answer 32
