| blood sedimentation | Measurement of rate of settling of erythrocytes in anticoagulated blood. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| blood smear | A sample of blood is applied to a microscope slide and then studied under the microscope. Red blood cell appearance and differential is analysed. Red blood size, shape and colour are commented on. Conditions such as hereditary spherocytosis, haemolytic anaemia, sickle cell anaemia, TTP, DIC, thalassaemia, pernicious anaemia, myelodysplasia, G6PD deficiency and lymphomas. (27 Sep 1997) |
| blood spavin | A distention of the veins in the vicinity of the tarsus in a horse, due to pressure from the swelling of bog spavin impeding the return flow of blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood specimen collection | The taking of a blood sample to determine its character as a whole, to identify levels of its component cells, chemicals, gases, or other constituents, to perform pathological examination, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood spots | Haemorrhagic graafian follicles seen in ovaries of mice, caused by injection of urine of pregnant women; a positive result in the now obsolete Aschheim-Zondek test for pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood stains | Antigenic characteristics and DNA fingerprint patterns identified from blood stains. Their primary value is in criminal cases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood substitute | Any material (e.g., human plasma, serum albumin, or a solution of such substances as dextran) used for transfusion in haemorrhage and shock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood substitutes | Substances that can carry oxygen to and carbon dioxide away from the tissues when introduced into the blood stream. They are used to replace haemoglobin in severe haemorrhage and also to perfuse isolated organs. The best known are perfluorocarbon emulsions and various haemoglobin solutions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood sugar, high | Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycaemia) can be found in a number of conditions. The hyperglycaemia leads to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine. (Diabetes mellitus means sweet urine. ) (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood sugar, low | The sugar here is glucose. Low blood glucose constitutes hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemia is only significant when it is associated with symptoms. It has many causes including drugs, liver disease, surgical absence of the stomach, pre-diabetes, and rare tumours that release excess insulin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood transfusion | The process of infusing blood products into a patient to raise the individuals concentration of red blood cells. Blood is typed (A, B, O or AB) and crossmatched (mixed together to see if its compatible) prior to transfusion. (27 Sep 1997) |
| blood transfusion reaction | This refers to an immune response against transfused blood cells. Antigens, on the surface of red blood cells, are recognised as foreign proteins and can stimulate sensitised lymphocytes to produce antibodies to the red blood cell antigens. This triggers a complex immunological reaction that results in the destruction of the transfused red blood cell. The blood groups (A, B, AB, O) are classified on the basis of the presence of surface antigens on the red blood cell. Type A blood has A antigens. The plasma component of the blood contains the antibodies against all other blood group antigens other that its own. Another type of surface antigen is known as Rh factor. Rh factor is either present (Rh positive) or absent (Rh negative). Rh compatibility is another requirement for blood transfusion. Symptoms and findings of a transfusion reaction include flank pain, fever, chills, bloody urine, rash, low blood pressure, dizziness and fainting. (27 Sep 1997) |
| blood transfusion, autologous | Reinfusion of blood or blood products derived from the patient's own circulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood transfusion, intrauterine | Transfusion of rh-negative blood into the peritoneal cavity of an unborn infant in the treatment of foetal erythroblastosis (erythroblastosis, foetal) in utero. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood tumour | Term sometimes used to denote an aneurysm, haemorrhagic cyst, or haematoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
