CBC - ANSWER: Complete Blood Count (bloodwork to look for infection or anemia)
What does a CBC measure? - ANSWER: WBCs
RBCs
HNH
MCV, MCHC, MCH
PLT
RDW
MPV
What are WBCs? - ANSWER: leukocytes
What are RBCs? - ANSWER: erythrocytes
What is Hct? - ANSWER: measures volume of RBC's as a %
What is Hgb? - ANSWER: Hemoglobin, measures the oxygent-transport capacity of
the blood
What do MCV, MCHC, and MCH measure? - ANSWER: RBC indices (RBC size, weight
and color)
What are PLTs? - ANSWER: platelets or thrombocytes
What are RDWs? - ANSWER: Red blood cell distribution width
What is the MPV? - ANSWER: Mean Platelet Volume - the average weight of platelets
What do microcidic iron deficient cells look like? - ANSWER: Small, pale
Macrocidic anemia cells - ANSWER: Large, colored
Band anemia - ANSWER: Increase in the number of immature neutrophils (serious
bacterial infection)
-cytosis, -philia - ANSWER: Elevated
-penia - ANSWER: decreased
Elevated neutrophils indicate - ANSWER: bacterial infection (or cancer)
elevated eosinophils indicate - ANSWER: allergic reaction
, Elevated basophils indicate - ANSWER: allergies
Elevated lymphocytes indicate - ANSWER: viral infection
Elevated monocytes indicate - ANSWER: Prolonged bacterial infection
CMP - ANSWER: comprehensive metabolic panel
What does CMP test for? - ANSWER: Electrolytes, kidney and renal function
What does a CMP include? - ANSWER: serum glucose
calcium
albumin, total protein
Na, K+, CO2, & Cl
BUN, Creatinine
ALP, ALT, AST, bilirubin
CMP: Glucose - ANSWER: Tests what's circulating at that moment
CMP: Calcium - ANSWER: Parathyroid, kidneys
CMP: Albumin, Total Protein - ANSWER: Screen kidney & liver disorders
CMP: Na, K, CO2, and Cl - ANSWER: Electrolytes keep body fluids in balance
CMP: BUN/creatinine - ANSWER: KIDNEY FUNCTION
High or low BUN: think internal bleeding or dehydration
CMP: ALP, ALT, AST, Bilirubin - ANSWER: "All A's related to liver"
electrolyte panel - ANSWER: blood test to measure the amount of sodium,
potassium, chloride, calcium and carbon dioxide in the blood
Liver Panel (Liver Function Panel) - ANSWER: Also known as liver (hepatic) function
tests or LFT, can detect liver damage or disease (hepatitis) ALT, ALP, and AST
A very high level of ALT is frequently seen with - ANSWER: Acute hepatitis
Who might have moderately elevated ALT or close to normal? - ANSWER: Those with
blocked bile ducts, cirrhosis, and liver cancer
ALP may be significantly increased with - ANSWER: Obstructed bile ducts, liver
cancer, & also with bone disease.
A very high level of AST is frequently seen with - ANSWER: Acute hepatitis
