PASS
WBC level Newborn - ANS 9-30 Billion cells/L until 2 weeks old
WBC Levels in Adults - ANS 3.4 to 9.6 billion
5 types of WBC - ANS Neutrophils
lymphocytes
monocytes
eosinophils
basophils
Usually What WBC is the largest - ANS Neutrophils
What WBC type is the largest as a newborn - ANS Lymphocytes until 8 years old
Leukopenia - ANS less than 4000

,* viral infection
* bacterial infection
* bone marrow issue
Severe leukopenia - ANS less than 500
can be at risk for fatal infection dying of even a cold
when is leukocytosis common - ANS during pregnancy due to increased neutrophils
What wbc type elevates with allergies - ANS Eosinophils
what wbc type elevates with infections (bacterial and viral) - ANS Viral: lymphocytes
bacterial: neutrophils
Hemoglobin (Hgb) what does it go - ANS carries oxygen throughout the body making up 95%
of dry wt of RBC
Hemoglobin is what type of structure - ANS quaternary structure made of 4 globular proteins
(2 alpha/2beta) with an iron center for o2 binding
Erythocytosis and 6 causes - ANS elevated Hgb caused by: polycythemia, high altitude, heart
disease, copd/pulm disease, dehydration, renal issue
anemia and at least 5 causes - ANS low hbg, due to :
iron deficiency or vitamin b12 /folate deficiency, chronic renal failure, aplastic anemia, bone
marrow issue, leukemia, lymphoma, or blood loss

, Normal Hgb levels - ANS 11.6-16.6g/dl
when hgb is abnormal be concerned of what - ANS blood oxygen carrying capacity concern
Hematocrit Hct what is it - ANS percentage of overall solution: packed cell volume of RBC
normal hct level - ANS 35.5 to 48.6%
Hgb compared to hct - ANS Hct= hgb x3
loss of plasma volume from the vascular space does what to hct - ANS increases it: think
dehydration, severe burn, elevated hct
overhydration does what to hct - ANS decreases hct: not necessarily bleeding
right after hemorrage what happens to rbc and plasma - ANS its an equal loss of both rbc and
plasma until hrs later whaen interstial fluid shifts into vascular space decreases hct
how many days does bone marrow take to make rbc - ANS 7 days to make them
risk of hypovolemic shock during acute or chronic loss - ANS acute due to no time to
compensate: think dialysis vs hemorrhage
less than 15% of hct - ANS cardiac failure
greater than 60% of hct - ANS spontaneous blood clot
