Study Notes
Blood Typing
- The basis of blood typing is the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs).
Rh Blood Type
- The Rh+ designation indicates the presence of the Rh antigen on the surface of RBCs.
ABO Blood Group System
- The ABO blood group system is based on the presence or absence of A or B antigens on the surface of RBCs.
Anemia Classification
- Anemia is classified based on the size and color of RBCs, as well as the underlying cause of the condition.
Consequences of Anemia
- Severe anemia can lead to inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues, resulting in organ failure and even death.
Characteristics of Microcytic, Hypochromic RBCs
- Microcytic, hypochromic RBCs are characterized by being small in size and having a low hemoglobin concentration.
Pernicious Anemia
- Pernicious anemia is a condition characterized by a deficiency in vitamin B12 absorption due to a lack of intrinsic factor.
Symptoms of Iron Deficiency Anemia
- A common symptom of iron deficiency anemia is fatigue.
Sickle Cell Anemia
- The basic problem in sickle cell anemia is the abnormal shape and structure of hemoglobin, leading to rigid and sickle-shaped RBCs.
Hemolytic Anemia
- Hemolytic anemia is a type of anemia that results from excessive destruction of RBCs.
