Hello students, the question asked is name and describe some white blood cell disorders.
00:05
White blood cell disorders can be caused by increase or decrease in the white blood cells which are commonly known as proliferative disorders which include leukocytosis.
00:20
In this case there is an increase in rbc sorry increase in wbc count and a wbc count becomes more than 11 000 cells per micro liter which is 11 times 10 to power 9 cells per liter and there is another disorder which is due to the decrease in the wbc count which is known as leukopenia.
01:02
In this case there is a decrease in wbc count and the wbc count is below 4000 cells per micro liter of blood which is 4 to power 10 to power 9 per liter.

Another question is regarding blood clotting disorders.
01:27
It includes the first one antiphospholipid antibody syndrome which is an autoimmune disease and in this condition body produces antibodies against certain blood proteins which increase the propensity of the blood clotting.
01:43
Second one is the factor v leiden.
01:46
In this case the people with factor v leiden have abnormal coagulant protein which does not deactivate when it should.
01:59
So it the coagulant protein continues to be in the active form and hence coagulates the blood.
02:09
Third one is prothrombin gene mutation.
02:11
In this body produces too much prothrombin.
02:15
There is a mutation which leads to the production of more prothrombin which is a coagulant protein and also known as factor ii...
