Hypoxemia
Below-normal level of oxygen in the blood, specifically in the arteries.
Hypoxia
Deficiency of oxygen in the tissues.
MCV
Measure of the average volume of a red blood cell.
MCHC
Measure of the concentration of hemoglobin in packed red blood cells.
Microcytic
Pertaining to smaller than normal red blood cells.
Normocytic
Pertaining to normal-sized red blood cells.
Macrocytic
Pertaining to larger than normal red blood cells.
Hypochromic
Pertaining to red blood cells with less color due to low hemoglobin.
Normochromic
Pertaining to red blood cells with a normal color.
Polycythemia
Increased number of red blood cells in the bloodstream.
Leukocytosis
Increase in the number of white blood cells in response to infection.
Leucopenia
Decrease in the number of white blood cells, increasing infection susceptibility.
Neutrophilia
Increase in the number of neutrophils in response to infection or inflammation.
Neutropenia
Decrease in the number of neutrophils, raising infection risk.
Agranulocytosis
Severe reduction in granulocytes, leading to increased infection vulnerability.
Lymphocytosis
Increase in the number of lymphocytes, often in infections and certain leukemias.
Lymphocytopenia
Decrease in the number of lymphocytes, impairing immune response.
Heterophile antibodies
Antibodies produced in response to infections like Epstein-Barr virus, cross-reacting with other antigens.
Leukemia
Cancer affecting blood and bone marrow, characterized by overproduction of abnormal white blood cells.
Thrombocytopenia
Abnormally low number of platelets in the blood, leading to increased bleeding and bruising.
Ecchymoses
Larger, bluish-purple skin patches caused by bleeding underneath the skin, commonly known as bruises.
Purpura
Red or purple discolored spots on the skin that do not blanch when pressed, caused by bleeding underneath the skin.
Petechiae
Small, red or purple spots on the skin caused by minor bleeding from broken capillary blood vessels.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
A condition characterized by widespread activation of the clotting cascade leading to the formation of blood clots in the small blood vessels throughout the body, causing multiple organ damage and severe bleeding.
