  8. Medical HistologyLaboratory Tests Collect blood (venipuncture) in tube without anticoagulant • clotting occurs, using clotting proteins and platelets • aqueous plasma becomes serum • serum is plasma without fibrinogen • serum is sample used to analyze proteins, glucose, etc

  9. Medical HistologyLaboratory Tests Collect blood in tube with an anticoagulant and centrifuge • Two (2) major layers form • Bottom solid cellular layer • Largest layer, red cells, bottom red layer • White cell, “buffy coat” small white/gray layer • Top layer, invisible thin platelet layer • Top aqueous plasma layer

  21. Slides • Histology 2-6.12 a, b: Small lymphocyte, 6-9 micron, basophilic cytoplasm (ribosomes) , high N/C ratio; EM • Harmening 1-36: Small mature; intermediate size; indented nucleus; large lymphocyte with granules • 1-40: Monocyte and Lymphocyte • 1.39: Lymphocyte and PMN

  22. PlateletsIntegrated Histology • Size • Number • Cytoplasmic Components • Granules • Tubular System • Function • Hemostasis

  23. Medical HistologyLaboratory Evaluation Complete Blood Cell (CBC) count provides information about the absolute and relative numbers of blood cells in a specimen of blood.

  24. Medical HistologyComplete Blood Cell Count (CBC) • Red blood cell count, size, variation in size, and hemoglobin content • White blood cell count and differential into granulocytic cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, and abnormal cells • Platelet count

  25. Slides • Histology 2-6.16 a, b, c, d: Platelets, 1.5-3.5 micron; cell membrane for adhesion, microtubules for aggregation; granules (alpha, dense, lysosomes) • 6.17 a, b: Platelet aggregation after adhering to damaged endothelium

  26. Medical Histology Cell Counts • Cytosis: increased Leukocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphocytosis, erythrocytosis • Cytopenia: decreased Pancytopenia = all Leukopenia = Low WBC count Neutropenia = Low neutrophil count Lymphocytopenia

  27. Leukocytosis • Leukocytosis is a condition in which the leukocyte count is higher than the reference range • Usually affects a specific type of leukocyte- neutrophil, basophil, eosinophil, lymphocyte

  28. Slides • Leukocytosis • Neutrophilic

  29. Leukocytosis • Reactive • Infections, inflammation, necrosis • Others • Malignant • Leukemia (uncontrolled proliferation of leukocytes, causing an accumulation of leukemic cells in bone marrow and blood) • Others

  38. Medical HistologyPeripheral Blood • Review histology of peripheral blood and give clinical examples of specific leukocytosis • Give examples of a reactive leukocytosis, acute leukemia, and chronic leukemia • Histology is important for the recognition of maturation of leukemic cells

  39. Medical Histology Thrombocytopenia • Decreased platelets • Interrupt blood coagulation and prevent hemostasis • Bleeding complications • The degree of thrombocytopenia determines the risk for bleeding due to minor trauma, risk of spontaneous bleeding, and severe bleeding

  40. Medical Histology Thrombocytopenia • Decreased platelets • Interrupt blood coagulation and prevent hemostasis • Bleeding complications • The degree of thrombocytopenia determines the risk for bleeding due to minor trauma, risk of spontaneous bleeding, and severe bleeding

  41. Medical Histology Anemia Decrease in the total number of circulating erythrocytes and/or a decrease in the quality or quantity of hemoglobin. Number and severity of the symptoms depend upon the body’s ability to compensate for the reduced oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.

  42. Medical Histology Anemia • Decreased Production ( Look in the Bone Marrow) • Hemoglobin synthesis • DNA synthesis and nuclear maturation • Stem cell defects • Bone marrow infiltration

  43. Medical Histology Anemia • Acute Blood Loss (Hemorrhage) • Increased Destruction (Hemolysis) • Membrane abnormality • Cytoplasmic enzyme abnormality • Hemoglobin abnormality • RBC environment (Extracellular)

  44. Medical HistologyAnemia-Morphology • Erythrocyte size = -cytic • Normocytic, macrocytic, microcytic • Hemoglobin content= -chromic • Normochromic, hypochromic

  45. Slide • Normal red blood cells = normocytic for comparison
