ATP source for RBCs 90% from Glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhoff pathway)
10% from pentose phosphate pathway
Methemoglobin Reductase Pathway necessary to maintain heme iron in ferrous (Fe2+) state
Deficiency causes accumulation of methemoglobin, nonfunctional from of Hgb
Leubering Rapaport Shunt permits accumulation of 2,3-DPG
"Tense form" of Hgb DEOXYGENATED
widening of beta-chain
lower affinity for O2
expels 2,3-DPG
"Relaxed form" of Hgb OXYGENATED
beta-chain pulled together
higher affinity for O2
expels 2,3-DPG
"Shift Right" higher P50 value
decreased pH (increased H+ ion), acidosis
increased 2,3-DPG
higher temperature
high pCO2
Seen in compensated anemia
"Shift Left" lower P50 value
increased pH (decresed H+ ion), alkalosis
decreasede 2,3-DPG
lower temeratures
low pCO2
Seen in storage of RBC

anti-Le bh vs anti-Le bl Anti-Le bh= reacts best with Leb & H are on rbc
reacts best with group O and A2
does not react with A1 & B
Anti-Le bl= reacts independently of amount of H on rbc
best antisera to use when typing RBC
