Blood

RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.

Not 100% certain about this, but I once stopped off at a service station on a damp, humid day and heard crackling around a metal telegraph pole that was carrying electricity. Apparently that was plasma being created.

So, you could try running an electrical field in a humid environment. I always planned to use it to make supersoldiers, but that dream died with the lawsuits...

A neutrophil is one of about seven different white blood cells. Neutrophils are the most common types of white blood cells, which often fights bacterial infections.

when your blood doesn't clot( or create a scab)then that means you may have a rare blood disorder....you may need to see a doctor and you will continue to bleed until you faint or die.

Some of the Chemotheraputic agents used to treat cancer can cause low white cell counts.

Radiation therapy can also cause low white cell counts.

White blood cells are the body's best defensive weapons in the fight against germs and disease. Without adequate protection from these disease-fighting cells, viruses and bacteria suddenly become much more serious threats.

-White blood cell count is typically seen in chemotherapy patients.

Antiplatelet drugs interact with platelets, which is a type of blood cell, to block platelets from aggregating into harmful clots.

A Hematocrit is a fancy name for a blood cell. Your doctor ordered the blood test. You should ask him or her for the interpretation. It could mean something as simple as you are eating too much meat and not enough vegetables. It could mean you should stop taking vitamins with iron, or it could be more serious. How high is high? Is it slightly above the cut off mark. Is it way above the cut off mark. There should be a number compared to the normal range. That should give you a clue as to how far out of the normal range you are. You are entitled to a copy of your lab reports after your doctor has reviewed them. Get them and keep them for future reference and ask your doctor what it means.

Hemoglobin is found in the red blood cells.

Serology. The science that deals with the properties and reactions of serums, especially blood serum.

Hemoglobin is a protein. In particular, it's the protein that carries iron and helps transport oxygen to where it needs to be in the blood. It's also what makes blood red.

Bloody stools or blood from the anus can be from many causes. Benign causes of bright red blood are usually an anal fissure or tear from trauma either from passing a large stool, or placing something into the rectum. Bloody stools can also be caused by intestinal infections, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal abnormalities, or colon cancer.

Dark black blood from the anus is always concerning and suggests a bleed in the upper gastrointestinal tract that should be evaluated immediately by a doctor.

if you smoke a small ammount of cannabis it can stay in your blood stream for about 5 days (a very small ammount) if you smoke a large ammount of cannabis it can stay in your blood stream for anything up to a month if you smoke cannabis regulary it can stay in your blood stream for anything up to 80 days after you stop smoking it.

There can be a number of causes of having blood in the faeces, and most of them are not serious. It can just mean that there are cuts or lesions in the rectum, which are re-opened whenever faeces is passed and which can easily be treated with ointment. Other causes can be just small cysts or ulcers in the large intestine, which can usually be dealt with by medication, or if it's just a one-off occurrance, that the faeces contained something sharp like a bit of nutshell that grazed the bowel wall, causing a cut.

But it CAN in some cases be a sign of bowel cancer, or also in men of prostate cancer. Bowel cancer is by no means necessarily terminal- it's a very slow-developing form of cancer and responds readily to treatment. If caught early enough, it can be completely cured by surgery, although in some more advanced cases follow-up chemotherapy may be necessary too. It is only life-threatening if allowed to develop up until a late stage, but long before this the patient may experience other symptoms such as weight loss, diahorrea, and a bloated feeling in the abdomen.

if you are getting blood in your faeces regularly, it's best to get it checked out (for peace of mind if for nothing else), but whatever you do don't worry about it- it's probably nothing serious, and in the unlikely event of it being a cancer of some sort, the chances are it'll be curable.

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the most abundant of the formed elements of the blood. The other formed elements are leukocytes (white blood cells) and thrombocytes (platelets).
erythrocytes (red blood cells)
Erythrocytes (red blood cells or RBCs)
platelets, for about 250,000-500,000 per mm3 of blood.

When a blood vessel ruptures, clotting helps prevent further blood loss. A sufficient amount of calcium ions helps in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. In turn, thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin that forms a mesh that traps platelets to make a clot.

Endocrine glands, which are a cluster of cells that produce and secrete hormones, that are located in various organs of the body, such as in the pancreas, ovaries, testes, and thymus, controls the production and secretion of certain hormones. The hypothalamus, pineal gland, and parathyroid gland which are located in various hemispheres of the human brain control the production and secretion of hormones located in several places throughout the body. Hope this helps!

weird, but yes.

Leukemia (loo-KEE-mee-ah) Is a malignancy characterized by a processive increase of abnormal leukoytes. (''leuk'' means white and ''emia'' means blood condition).

Histamine is a chemical mediator. These are released by mammalian cells and effect their cells in their immediate vicinity. Histamines are released from white blood cells in the airways, they are released in response to injury or an allergen. They cause small arteries and arterioles to dilate and the permeability of capillaries to increase. They produce an inflammatory response where swelling, itching and redness occurs.
Histamines are what causes allergic reactions in people. They can cause hives, itchy skin, runny or stuffy nose and watery eyes.

That is within the normal range for serum potassium levels, which range from 3.5-5.0 mmol/L in an adult.

Newborns and children are different.

Newborn: 3.7-5.9 mmol/L
Infant: 4.1-5.3 mmol/L
Child: 3.4-4.7 mmol/L

a serum pregnancy test is a blood test just a fancy doctor word for it kb

Yew, most definitely! The lower limit on most tests should be 3.5, at the lowest. Below 3.0 is a significant problem. A level of 1.8 needs to be checked out right away. Go to the emergency room.
