1) When a patient has a splenectomy, which organ will filter out old, worn blood cells? 2) A patient has a hematocrit of 72%, an elevated RBC count, and high electrolytes and glucose. The patient presents with great pain and swelling in the right lower leg. Offer a working diagnosis and explain the physiology behind it. 3) A patient comes in tired, lethargic, pale, and out of breath. The hematocrit is 28% and both the hemoglobin count and the RBC count are depressed. She is also retaining fluid and is urinating very little. Explain her hematological lab values. Describe the physiology behind your working diagnosis.
