Condition in which small areas of bleeding under
the skin and mucous membranes produce visible
purplish spots. No Word elements
Purpura
39
Bone Marrow dysfunction resulting in anemia and deficiency of neutrophils and platelets
Myelodysplastic Syndrome
40
A decreased in the number of neutrophils.
Neutropenia
41
A condition in which overactive bone
marrow produced too many red blood
cells. Also known as “erythremia and
polycythemia vera”
Vaquez-Osler Disease
42
A hereditary bleeding disease caused
by lack of von Willebrand factor (a
substance necessary for blood
clotting)
Von Willebrand Disease
43
44
time required for a small puncture wound made in the earlobe or forearm to stop bleeding; used to evaluate the ability of blood to clot
bleeding time
45
use of a needle to extract bone marrow for
examination and evaluation
bone marrow biopsy
46
group of routine blood tests that measures
the hemoglobin concentration and the
numbers of rbc, wbc, and platelets in the
blood; commonly referred to as a CBC
complete blood count
47
test used to detect the presence of
antibodies directed toward rbc; often used
to detect anti-Rh antibodies in infants of
women with Rh-negative blood or to
detect antibodies in the blood of patients
with other hemolytic disorders
Coombs’ test
48
Routine test measuring each of the five
types of wbc as a percentage of the total
number of leukocytes in the blood;
commonly referred to as a diff
differential
49
test measuring the speed at which rbc
settle to the bottom of a narrow tube; used
in the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases,
cancer, and other conditions that alter the
consistency of blood; commonly called sed
rate or ESR
erythrocyte sedimentation rate
50
sediment
to settle
51
Pricking a finger and collecting blood using
a capillary tube; used to obtain a blood
sample when only a small volume is
required; also called finger stick
finger prick
52
routine test used to measure the
percentage of the total blood volume made
up by red blood cells; along with other
blood tests, used to diagnose various types
of anemia; commonly called a crit
hematocrit
53
crit
to separate
54
routine test measuring the amount of
hemoglobin in the blood; usually used in
the diagnosis of anemia
hemoglobin
55
one of several test used to evaluate the
function of plasma clotting factors; often
called PTT
partial thromboplastin time
56
plast
formation
57
intravenous administration of blood,
usually from a donor, into a patient;
generally used to replace blood lost
after injury, during surgery, or as a
result of disease
blood transfusion
58
Procedure in which a patient’s diseased
bone marrow is destroyed by irradiation
and chemotherapy, then replaced with
new bone marrow from a donor; used
to treat aplastic anemia, leukemia, and
certain cancers
bone marrow transplant
