Pneumonia
Give this one a try later!
Inflammation of the lung tissue in which alveolar air spaces fill with
purulent, inflammatory cells and fibrin. Most commonly caused by
infections (viral or bacterial), or by inhalation of chemicals or aspiration
Hypertension (HTN)

, Elevated blood pressure, which causes endothelial injury and increases
susceptibility to atherosclerosis.
WBC count that indicates infection

15,000 to 20,000 cells/mL
Hypoxemia
Give this one a try later!
Deficient amount of oxygen in the blood
Hemtaocrit (Hct)
Give this one a try later!
Percentage of blood that consists of RBCs. Part of CBC.
Normal values:
Males: 45- 52%
Females: 37 - 48%
Fistula
,Give this one a try later!
Abnormal connection between two structures
Eschar
Give this one a try later!
Thick layer of dead tissue that falls off of healthy skin
Usually tan, brown, or black with crusty top layer
Commonly observed in wound healing from burns or pressure ulcers
Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
Give this one a try later!
Disorder that causes progressive renal failure, hemolytic anemia, and
thrombocytopenia. Can be due to Shiga toxin-producing infections (Stx-
HUS) or non-Shiga toxin (non-Stx-HUS)
Commonly preceded by E. coli O157:H7 infection.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Give this one a try later!
, Chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disorder that affects the joints and may
have systemic effects.
Type III hypersensitivity disorder (immune complexes).
Erythroblastosis Fetalis
Give this one a try later!
Hemolytic anemia in the fetus caused by transplacental transmission of
maternal antibodies to fetal red blood cells
NCNC anemia
Give this one a try later!
Normocytic normochromic anemia. MCV (RBC size) and MCHC (average
Hgb concentration) are normal. Most common cause is acute blood loss.
Atherosclerosis
Give this one a try later!
Widespread arterial wall plaque composed of lipid, platelets, fibroblasts,
and WBCs, which protrudes into arterial lumen. Plaques can rupture into
pieces that travel as emboli and can lodge in smaller-diameter arteries to
cause ischemia in tissue.
