Decreased ferritin Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Serum Albumin - 3.5-5.0 g/dl visceral protein maintains colloidal osmotic pressure hypoalbumiemia associated with edema, surgery levels above range likely do to dehydration long half-life, doesn't reflect current protein intake Serum Transferrin - >200 mg/dl visceral protein that transports iron to bone marrow for production of hemoglobin. serum levels controlled by iron storage pool levels rise with iron deficiency. transferrin synthesis can be determined by TIBC= total iron bi...

Presentation: fatigue, weakness, dyspnea, pallor; glossitis, dysphagia, craving of nonfood substances (pica), spoon nails History: peptic ulcers, pregnant, Labs: decreased Hb, decreased RDW, decreased serum iron, increased TIBC, decreased ferritin, increased FEP Histology: microcytic, hypochromic RBCs; iron deficiency anemia iron deficiency anemia (pathogenesis and treatment) anemia resulting when there is not enough iron to build hemoglobin for red blood cells Risk factors: poor diet, ...

Erythrocyte - rbc Hemoglobin - iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen for delivery to cells Erythropoiesis - formation of red blood cells Erythropoietin - hormone produced and released by the kidney that stimulates the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow Reticulocyte - immature erythrocyte, no nucleus, increase in CBC indicates rbc's being lost or consumed at a great rate and bone marrow is sending less mature rbc's to bloodstream Hemoglobin synthesi...

Question : The major impact of the physiological changes that occur with aging is: Student Answer: Reduced physiological reserve Instructor Explanation: The major impact of all of these physiological changes can be highlighted with three primary points. First, there is a reduced physiological reserve of most body systems, particularly cardiac, respiratory, and renal. Second, there are reduced homeostatic mechanisms that fail to adjust regulatory systems such a...
