Hello students, for the first question here the presence of leukocytosis which indicates an elevated white blood cell count suggests that an increased number of white blood cell in the bloodstream.
00:32
This could be a response to an infection, inflammation or tissue damage in the body.
00:47
The results of the differential white blood cell count with 75 to 85 percentage neutrophils and 15 to 18 percentage monocytes indicate a shift towards an increase in these two types of white blood cells.
01:08
Neutrophils are typically the first responders to bacterial infections while monocytes are involved in fighting off various pathogens and clearing cellular debris.
01:15
So the interpretation of these results suggests that a patient may be experiencing a bacterial infection or inflammation leading to an increased production and release of neutrophils and monocytes.
01:25
For the second question here a hematocrit of 15 percentage that indicates significantly low red blood cell count.
01:40
The presence of distorted and ruptured red blood cells along with a reticulocyte count of two percentage indicating increased production of young red blood cells suggests that the patient is suffering from a condition called hemolytic anemia.
01:56
Hemolytic anemia refers to the accelerated destruction of red blood cell resulting in low hematocrit, the distorted and ruptured red blood cells that may indicate of the destruction happening within the bloodstream.
02:20
Further investigation is necessary to determine the specific cause of it.
02:23
For the third question here the abo blood grouping system is based on the presence or absence of certain antigens on the red blood cells and antibodies in the plasma.
02:34
So type ab individuals that will have both a and b antigen on their red blood cell and lack antibodies against antigen aor so this allows them to theoretically receive the blood from the type a, b, ab and o.
03:09
On the other hand type o individuals lack a and b antigen on the red blood cell but have antibodies against both a and b.
03:24
They can theoretically give blood to any individuals having the blood group a, b, ab and o.
03:38
Antigen -antibody response is also related to hemolytic disease of the newborn where the maternal antibodies against the fetal red blood cell antigens can cause destruction of fetal red blood cell...
