Term
Platelet Count
Common causes of high and low results |
|
Definition
High: Tumors, polycthemia vera, inflam.
Low: Leukemia, AIDS |

Term
|
Definition
Not in CBC
Reticulocytes are immature RBCs
Hemmorage and anemia are causes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 1. A reticulocyte index is used to measure the appropriateness of a bone marrow response to anemia. Value should be close to 1 for normal range. If lower, the bone marrow response is inappropriate |

Term
| If you put someone on Iron and they have a high reticulocyte count the next visit, then... |
|
Definition
| that means the bone marrow is trying to compensate and that the Iron treatment is working |

Glucose (UA)
Common causes for high and low values |
|
Definition
High (positive)- Diabetes or kidney disease
Low- there is no low, there should not be any glucose in the urine |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Normal is no glucose in the urine--anything else is abnormal |

Ketones (UA)
Common causes for postive value |
|
Definition
Pos: diabetes mellitus, starvation, fasting, high-fat diets, anorexia, hyperthyroidism, alcoholism, etc
BASICALLY- body uses fats and muscle when carbs can't be used. |

Common causes |

Definition
| bilirubin is the breakdown product of hemoglobin from RBCs, transported to the liver for processing Normally NO bilirubin is detectable in the blood. Bilirubin appears in urine before other signs of liver diease |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| liver disease, hepatitis, obstructive biliary tract |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| : urobilinogen is formed in the intestine by bacterial action on bilirubin. Most is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the bile, trace left over amounts are excreted in urine |
|
|
Term
Urobilinogen
Causes of high and low |
|
Definition
high (inc) - anything that cuases increase bilirubin production (hemolytic anemia)and/or prevents the liver from normally removing the reabsorbed urobilinogen
Dec result when normal trace amounts of bilirubin are not excreted into the GI tract, seen in blockage of the bile ducts, or in severe liver disease |
