Apart from suffering from recurrent and prolonged infections, Denis Robin also experienced the following signs and symptoms: fatigue, rapid heart rate, pale skin, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and dizziness. Bone marrow transplant was not an option at that time and so blood transfusion was the treatment of choice. Explain the reasoning behind these other signs and symptoms that Robin experienced. Assume her blood group was A negative. Which blood groups can she receive? Which blood groups can she not receive? Explain why

An elderly couple was killed in an accident. No surviving relatives are known, so their estate have been willed to chasrity. Later, a man claims that he is their child. Although friends of the couple knew that they had a son, no record of this can be found. Medical records show that the dead man was A Rh’, his wife was B Rh- and the claimant’s blood tests as O Rh’. Does it appear that his claim is valid? Justify your conclusion. A student in genetics is B’. She reports that her father is B- and her mother is O’. Give this student’s genotype for the ABO and Rh blood types.

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…
Amir Yazdani is being assessed in the orthopaedic preadmission clinic 6 weeks prior to a knee arthroplasty. He asks to donate some of his own blood to ensure he doesn't receive a transfusion from a stranger. How would you respond to Amir's request? Explain to Amir that there is no chance he will require a blood transfusion, so predeposit autologous donation is not indicated in his specific situation Explain to Amir that predeposit autologous donation is only recommended for patients that are likely to refuse a transfusion and discuss if he would be willing to accept donated blood Explain to Amir why predeposit autologous donation is not recommended, including that it may increase the chance of him requiring a transfusion, and that it does not reduce all the risks associated with transfusion Predeposit autologous donation is an excellent strategy to reduce the risks associated with transfusion. Provide Amir with a referral to enable him to have his blood collected one month prior to…
Samples of blood have been placed in each of the three depressions along with appropriate anti-serum (anti-A, anti-B, and anti-RH). What is the person's blood type? (Dark dots indicate clumping, bank circles indicate no clumping.) Blood type of diagram below: anti-A serum anti-B serum anti-Rh serum
a 58-year-old Asian male .He visited his physician because he noticed dark colored lesions on his inner thighs, have increased in number, size. For the last three months he has been feeling weaker and more fatigued than usual; his weight dropped from 170 to 155 pounds. Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and grown in cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis. What possible Diagnosis or disorders can you rule out for this paitent
The following complete blood count (CBC) is completed for a client with chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression include: hemogiobin of 8.2 g/dL, hematocrit of 29%, platelet count of 160,000/ul, and white blood cell count of 2500/µL. The client was placed on filgrastim (Neupogen) 480 mcg SQ for 2 weeks. Which laboratory finding indicates that this therapy is effective? O The client's hemoglobin is 8.6 g/dL The client's hematocrit is > than 30% O The client's white blood cell is 3500/µl The client's platelet count is 165,000/µL
Explain the difference between the four primary blood types that are described by the ABO system. Be sure to address why these differences lead to the incompatibilities observed when it comes to blood donations and transfusions.
