uric acid. An increase in CEA levels is most closely associated with which of the following organs: Please select the single best answer. Heart. Bone. Colon.
Pale blue cytoplasm. Nucleus may be oval or indented.
Please select the single best answer. correct carbonic acid level, since it is the most important system in the body. a normal pH. normal p02 and pCo2 for normal respiration. correct bicarbonate level, since it is the most important system in the body.

the weak D test adn control would be positve
donor red cells have a positive DAT
A 5-year-old boy is evaluated for slight jaundice and a tender abdomen. The CBC and morphology
for hereditary spherocytosis the result is increased osmotic fragility. Osmotic fragility tests demonstrate increased red blood cell fragility (or likelihood of lysing) in blood specimens in which red cells have decreased surface area-to-volume ratios (as is true of spherocytes). The test is used to measure erythrocyte resistance to hemolysis while being exposed to varying concentrations of a saline solution (aka hypotonic solution). In a hypotonic solution (less solute concentration and more water), more water will enter the cell (high to low concentration inside the cell) to dilute the intracellular contents until equilibrium is reached. As this occurs, the red cell swells. As the red cells are subjected to increasingly hypotonic solutions, even more water will enter the cell until the internal volume is too great and the cell lyses. Since spherocytes already have a decreased surface area-to-volume ratio, they lyse in less hypotonic solution than normal red cells, and thus have increased osmotic fragility
This test is used to see if the cause for the hemolytic anemia is immune related. Used to determine/look for if red cells in vivo have been coated with immunoglobulin (antibody), complement, or both, which is what is making the red cells for lysis. Also known at the Coomb's test. Coomb's reagent is a combination of anti-human globulin (AHG) ...
