haematology
DESCRIPTION
Haematology for Medical Transcriptionist StudentsTRANSCRIPT
Hematology • Blood:red body fluid flowing thru the b.v is called the blood
• 8%of total body weight, male: 5 L, female 4 L
• Function :
Gaseous transportation
Nutrients to cell & elimination of waste
Hormones & enzymes transportation
Regulation of PH & body temperature
Clotting mechanism, preventing loss of fluids Components
Cells(45%) Plasma (55%)
Erythrocytes(RBC)
Leukocytes(WBC)
1.granular
Neutrophils
Eosinohils
Basophils
2. Agranular
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
3.Thrombocytes (platelets)
Proteins
Albumin, immunoglobulins
Fibrin(serum)
Structure Function Life span
Production
diseases
RBC,s
Biconcave disc contains haemoglobin made of iron +protein
.Carry o2& co2
.Antigens A,B,AB & 0
.Rh type
120 day Bone marrow in sternm, ribs, vertebra & pelvis
Anaemia :decrease in Hb below 13% in male & 11 % female.
Etiology:↓bone marrow production
Lack of iron,amino acid
Loss of blood
Signs & symptoms
Fatigue, palpitations,breathlessness
Pallor of skin, mucosa,edema
POLYCYTHEMIA:↑ rbc
Lack of concentration, headache,fatigue, CVA
SICKLE CELL ANAEMIA:
Inherited Hb conditions
THALESSIMIA :
APLASTIC ANEMIA:failure of rbc to form
PERNICIOUS ANEMIA:lack of vit b12
HAEMORRHAGIC ANEMIA:removal or destruction of RBC
HEMOCHROMATOSIS:excessive deposit of iron in body
WBC: Have nuclei
.To kill microbes
.Release enzyme lysozyme
.Antibodies production
Few days
Bone marrow, lymphoid tissue
LEUKEMIA:cancer of blood
Types:
ALL:acute lymphoblastic leukemia
AML:---------myeloid-------------
CLL:chronic lympoblastic----
CML:----------myeloid------
Etiology:radiation exposure, cytotoxic drugs, HIV
Symptoms:tiredness, fatigue,bleding tendency, lymphadenopathy, spleen enlargement
Treatment::danorubicin,etoperiside, bone
marrow transplantation, imatinib mesylate GRANULOCYTOSIS
EOSINOPHILA
BASOPHILA
Platelets:
disc shaped without nucleus
Blood clotting 5 to 9 days
Bone marrow
IDIPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA:↓ platelets
Plasma Made of water & solute
Blood clotting
LAB TEST
• RETICULOCYTE COUNT/HEMATOCRIT
To know about the rbc count• Differential count for WBC:leucocytosis, leukopenia
CBC(complete blood count)
Hb, TLC,DLC, P.S for opinion
ESR(erythrocyte sedimentation rate)
Immunohistochemistry
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
Blood plasma substitute
Direct transfusion
Exchange transfusion
Fractionated blood/whole blood
Heparinized whole blood
Septecemia
Thrombocytopenia
Venesection/venus puncture
• ABO:blood groups
• Baso;basophils
• BMT:bone marrow transplantation
• CBC:complete blood count
• ESR:erythrocyte sedimentation rate
• MCH:mean corpuscular haemoglobin
• MCHC:-----------//------------------//---------concentration
• MCV:mean corpuscular volume
• PMN:polymorho nuclear leukocytes
• PT:prothrobin time
• PTT:partial thromboplastin time
• DLC; differentiated leukocyte count
• Eos:eosinophil
• Mono:monocytes
• Hct:hematocrit
• Hb:haemoglobin
