2) Match the following diagnostics with the appropriate pathology or condition. Very low RBC count, Low hemoglobin, low hematocrit Normal RBC count, low hemoglobin, low hematocrit. Normal-high RBC count, Normal hemoglobin, normal-high hematocrit Pathology/Conditions Dehydration Iron-deficiency anemia Hemolytic anemia Which anemic sample (B or C) showed a lower MCV? How does this calculation relate to your conclusions for Questions 10 and 11 on page 5? 5) 6 A person with a normal MCV could still exhibit anemia, if the mean concentration of hemoglobin per RBC was low. This could be caused by simultaneous dietary deficiencies in iron and vitamin B12 (cobalamin) or folic acid. Use this information to explain the value of knowing the hemoglobin concentration when hematocrits appear normal

Explanation / Answer

Hemolytic anemia- very low RBC count, low hemoglobin, low hematocrit.

Hemolytic anemia is a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed and removed from the bloodstream and removed from the bloodstream before their normal lifespan is over.

Iron deficiency anemia- normal RBC count, low hemoglobin, low hematocrit.

In iron deficiency anemia, the hematocrit and hemoglobin levels are low. Also RBCs are usually smaller in size than usual.

Dehydration-normal-high RBC count, normal hemoglobin and normal-high hematocrit.

Dehydartion- a significant loss of body fluid that impairs normal bodily functions. Dehydration can sometimes cause blood pressure to drop.
