Vitamin C
________ can facilitate iron absorption or orange juice would suffice.
Reticulocyte
________: young RBC, not functionally mature, anemia due to hemolysis or bleeding is characterized by reticulocytosis.
MCV
Mean corpuscular volume (________): reflect average size or volume of RBC, will tell if the patient is micro, macro, or normcytic.
Hemorrhage
________: extraversion of blood from vessels.
Endothelial damage tissue factor
________ is the primary initiator of DIC.
H & H
________: Hemoglobin and hematocrit, used for anemia testing.
VWF
________ facilitates platelet adhesion → causes mild or moderate bleeding.
Folate deficiency
________: dietary or pregnancy causes.
Increase
________ in reticulocytes is due to compensation to bring up the RBC.
Hemolysis
________: sickle cell disease (appears in waves, not constant, 4- 6 years can sickle), immune system, transfusion rejection (mismatched blood type)
Hematocrit
________: % of any RBCs in any volume of blood (max is 44 %)
hemoglobin concentration
Mean cell ________ (MCHC): indicates the concentration of Hb in the average RBC, or the ratio of the weight of the Hb to the volume in which it is contained (chromicity /color)
Hematoma
________: external or accumulation within a tissue.
