3. Tests Using Blood and Blood Components

A patient is suspected to be aplastic anemic. He has a fever, he gets tired very fast, suffers from shortness of breath, complains of dizziness, and skin looks very pale. If he is lacking blood he may have to get a blood transplant. Infection must be ruled out. Which of the following test may be required? Circle the ones that may be required.

Hematocrit           Bleeding time              Coagulation time                          Plasma protein test
Thrombin test      Blood typing                Hemoglobin concentration        Dif. WBC count

4. Blood typing
Examining the figure to the right and provide responses as requested below. (Positives (+) indicate clumping and negatives (-) indicate no clumping).
