A laboratory test of a patient's blood reveals a
hematocrit of 15% . microscopic examination of the blood also
reveals several distorted and ruptured red blood cells.in addition,
the reticulocyte count is 2% . base on all of this findings, from
what disorder do you think the patient is suffering?
Homework Answers
Based on all of this findings, we can say that the patient is suffering from sickle cell anemia. Because, here 15% hematocrit means that RBC percentage is lower than the lower limit of normal level (40%). Microscopic examination of the blood also shows distorted and ruptured red blood cells. But the reticulocyte count is 2% which is normal (0.5-2.5%). So, there is no problem in production and release of RBC from bone marrow. But, RBC are not normal and healthy. These cells are mostly fragile and rupture prone.

A 58-year-old male college professor sees his family physician because of increasing fatigue and weakness. He also reports pain in his lower back and arms when he walks. Physical examination reveals that the man has pale mucous membranes and hepatosplenomegaly. The physician orders a complete blood count (CBC) and urinalysis. A follow-up appointment is scheduled for the following week. Laboratory Data: The CBC reveals that the patient has anemia. His leukocyte count and differential count are normal, except for a...

04. Reginold, a 40-year-old Filipino male presents to the emergency department with extreme pain in the metatarsal-phalangeal joint of the big toe (right foot). Inspection of the joint reveals it to be swollen, very tender to the touch, warm, with a dust red appearance. The "attack" was acute, sudden onset in nature. It also occurred around 2300 hours. The patient was febrile and admitted that he had drunk a significant amount of beer during the evening hours. Results of the...

Exercise # 1 A 60-year-old woman with anemia is admitted to the hospital. Her hematocrit is 17% and she has been experiencing subtle gastrointestinal bleeding over many weeks. Her physician requests 4 units of red blood cells for transfusion. The patient’s RBCs phenotyped as group AB, D-positive. Her antibody screen is negative on the sample drawn in the emergency room, but her records indicate a previously detected anti-E. Only three group AB, D-positive red blood cell units are available in...
