Predict the test results that would confirm your suspected condition in Discussion post #2.2. Correlate your predicted results to the pathophysiology of the disease. 3. Explain the limitations of each test performed and how to correct for them in the laboratory to optimize results.A 55-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of shortness of breath upon exertion. He was a tall slender man, average build, who was in good physical shape. He was a construction worker and loved being outside. Physical examination revealed pallor but no organomegaly. His previous medical history was unremarkable. The lab results were as follows: RBC2.43 x 106/ulWBC 2.9 x 103/ulHGB9.1g/dlHCT27%MCV111flMCH37.4pgMCHC33.7%RDW17.4PLT90,000/ul Differential:Segs:69%Bands:3%Lymphs:16%Monos:3%Eos: 1%Basos:1%Blasts: 6% Morphology: occ pseudo Pelger-Huet neutrophils with hypogranulation, and occ giant platelets noted. Aniso-macrocytosis and occ basophilic stippling noted also. 2nRBCs/100 WBC noted. Based on what was seen in the CBC, a hematology consult was initiated, and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy were ordered. The findings are below: Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy findings: Hypercellular marrow with M:E ratio of 12:1. Evidence of N:C asynchrony in both erythroid and myeloid precursors, persistent basophilia in myeloid precursors (predominantly in myelocyte stages). 16% of all the nucleated cells are myeloblasts in the differential. Hypogranular promyelocytes present. Monocytic hyperplasia present. Intracytoplasmic bridging in normoblastic precursors present. Large mononuclear megakaryocytes present.
