A premature neonate was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The blood bank performed a neonatal antibody profile consisting of blood type, antibody screen, and a direct antiglobulin test. The neonate phenotypes as group A, D-positive.the antibody screen is negative. The doctor placed a transfusion order for 20 mL of RBCs. 1. Can this neonate receive type-specific RBC products? 2. If the baby had a passive maternal ABO antibody, what blood group would be compatible with the neonate?

Rewrite the following sentences after correction. The N1303K mutation in the CFTR gene of CF patients is autosomal dominant disorder due to insertion of asparagine at 1303. If a person RBCs have B surface antigen and it will clump with antigen B such clumping indicates Blood type B. Indirect ELISA can detect polygenic gene expression.
A 12-year-old girl has the sudden onset of severe abdominal pain and back pain. On physical examination her abdomen is diffusely tender, but there are no masses. She is afebrile. A CBC shows Hgb 6.5 g/dL, Hct 19.0%, MCV 99 fL, platelet count 149,000/microliter, and WBC count 11,200/microliter. Examination of her peripheral blood smear shows nucleated RBCs and sickled RBCs. Which of the following types of gene mutation is she most likely to have? O Insertion • Missense O Nonsense O Splice site O Duplication O Deletion.
A woman in labor is bleeding, has a very high fever, and is in danger of losing the fetus. Laboratory results include a platelet count of 15 x 109/L (normal platelet count = 150 - 450 x 109/L), prolonged PT and aPTT, decreased fibrinogen, and increased D-dimer. Her automated blood count flagged for blood smear review and the cells indicated by the arrows were seen on her peripheral smear along with a decrease in the number of platelets present. What condition is suggested by these results? Please select the single best answer Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT)
The patient phenotypes as group AB, D-positive. Her antibody screen is negative on the sample drawn in the emergency department. Patient records indicate a previously detected anti-E. Only three group AB, D-positive RBC units are available in the blood bank’s inventory. The blood bank’s inventory contains RBC donor units of all ABO and D types. After antigen screening of the four units of RBCs for the E antigen, one of the group AB, D-positive units is E positive. Calculate the number of donor units to screen to find the four units ordered plus two more units to hold in reserve for the patient. Having located six E-negative donor units, you perform crossmatches on the units. One of the units is incompatible in the antiglobulin phase (2+ reactivity). The physician is becoming insistent on beginning the transfusion because the patient is having some shortness of breath. How do you respond to the physician’s request? List several reasons to explain the incompatible donor unit. What…

A 2-year-old black girl is being seen by the hematologist after her pediatrician found her to be severely anemic with splenomegaly and jaundice. Her mother gives a possible history of a “blood problem” in her family but doesn’t know for sure. Her hemoglobin electrophoresis was normal, and the complete blood count (CBC) revealed a normocytic anemia. The platelet and white blood cell counts are normal. On the peripheral smear, there are many bizarre erythrocytes, including spiculated cells. A diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency is made. In the RBCs of the patient described above, which of the following would be expected? And give the explanation. (3 sentences) ADP to ATP ratios would be elevated above normal. NADP+ would increase relative to NADPH. Ribulose 5-phosphate levels would decrease. NADH to NAD+ ratios would decrease. Methemoglobin levels would increase.
BACKGROUND A 2-year-old black girl is being seen by the hematologist after her pediatrician found her to be severely anemic with splenomegaly and jaundice. Her mother gives a possible history of a “blood problem” in her family but doesn’t know for sure. Her hemoglobin electrophoresis was normal, and the complete blood count (CBC) revealed a normocytic anemia. The platelet and white blood cell counts are normal. On the peripheral smear, there are many bizarre erythrocytes, including spiculated cells. A diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency is made. Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) can be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that a child must inherit a gene with the disease-causing mutation from both parents in order for the disorder to be inherited. The PLKR gene regulates the synthesis of the pyruvate kinase enzyme, which is located in the liver and red blood cells. Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the premature…
A 45-year-old man is diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He types as B, Rh-positive. His brother is found to be HLA matched but is A, Rh-positive. The brother donates HPC-A, which is transplanted in the patient on January 25, 2010. The patient requires long-term transfusion support and receives 47 RBCs, 56 platelets apheresis, 16 FFP, and 6 cryoprecipitate. 1. Which blood group(s) should be selected for the RBC transfusions? 2. For FFP and platelets, which blood type(s) should be selected? The patient’s ABO testing for specific days post-transplant is shown below. Day Post-transplantation Anti-A Anti-B A Cells B Cells Day 117 0 1+ (mf) 1+ 0 Day 147 0 wk (mf) 2+ 0 Day 156 0 0 1+ 0 Day 200 wk (mf) 0 0 0 mf = mixed field 3. What is the interpretation of his ABO group on day 147? 4. What is the blood group interpretation on day 200? On day 156?
A 38-year-old white woman was treated in the emergency department for severe lacerations and abdominal injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She was admitted to the hospital for observation and further evaluation. On admission, a complete blood count (CBC), urinalysis, and radiograph series were ordered. Her CBC results were as follows: Hemoglobin 10.5 g/dL Hct 34% RBC 3.8 × 1012/L WBC 12.0 × 109 /L The RBC indices were as follows: MCV 89.6 fL MCH 27.6 pg MCHC 31 g/dL The peripheral blood smear showed essentially normal RBC morphology and platelet distribution. Forty-eight hours after admission, a stat repeat CBC was ordered. The results were as follows: Hemoglobin 8.0 g/dL Hct 26% RBC 2.9 × 1012/L WBC 15.5 × 109 /L The RBC indices were all within their normal ranges. A peripheral blood smear showed normal RBC morphology, although some polychromatophilia was noted. The distribution of platelets had increased. A follow-up platelet count was 0.60 × 1012/L. Subsequently,…

A 45-year-old premenopausal woman has emphysema. This lung disease impairs the ability to oxygenate the blood, so patients experience significant fatigue and tiredness. To alleviate the symptoms, oxygen is typically prescribed, and this patient has a portable oxygen tank she carries with her at all times, breathing through the nasal cannula. Before she began using oxygen, a complete blood count was done. Laboratory Results June 12, 2020 : RBC count: 5.8 x 1012/L September 12, 2020 : RBC count: 5.0 x 1012/L What is the hormone responsible? What are the mechanisms of action of that hormone?
