I'm still not great at identifying but could this be a myelocyte? I know the picture isn't great 🥲
I have a patient with these results (I’m a student) I’m having trouble trying to interpret them because I understand that when the serum iron or ferritin get High TIBC should be low. Also no recent IV iron or transfusion, pt on oral iron. Why would serum and TIBC be elevated?
I have factor XII deficiency (Hageman factor deficiency) and was wondering if I can still donate blood. I live in Canada. I haven't gotten into contact with a hematologist yet but I want to know if my blood would still be usable for other people. Thanks for any information!
This may be a silly question, but my wife and I are curious…. Our family represents all the negative blood types. I’m B negative my wife is A negative , my son is O negative and my daughter is AB negative. Is that super rare? Again… maybe silly… we just think it’s neat.
Explain it to me like I’m 5…. the Hospital typed me as A - du + but the Red Cross says A+. What’s the difference?
I'm reading MDS, and came across dohle bodies and toxic granulations. My professor just mentioned the terms and showed us a ppt, without going into much detail. I tried googling, but didn't find any thing of substance. Could someone please explain these terms to me and mechanism as to why they are seen in MDS?
Anybody know?
