Kenny WebsterHOST
And they say the chemistry matches a key piece of hemogoblin.
Kenny WebsterHOST
The stuff that makes blood red and carries oxygen, Billy Ed.
Kenny WebsterHOST
Hemogoblin? That's what they call it, yeah.
Kenny WebsterHOST
Not globin? No, no, no.
Kenny WebsterHOST
Hemogoblin.
Kenny WebsterHOST
It's a little scarier that way and probably works for the dinosaurs.
Kenny WebsterHOST
This is not liquid blood or dinosaur DNA.
AmyPANELIST
I hadn't had a chance to ask this one's from John.
AmyPANELIST
Does anadrol have any negative implications on renal health compared to other PEDs outside of HCT and HGB and blood pressure increase? I mean, those are
GonzoPANELIST
enough, right?
Paul BarnettHOST
Well, that's what you need, buddy.
Val WarnerHOST
That's the amount of iron floating in your body right now.
Val WarnerHOST
and it bounces around a lot it changes with what you ate with the time of the day it changes with inflammation with exercise so on its own it doesn't tell you as much that's why we need ferritin plus some other markers around it so that we can actually get the whole story and not just one thing okay so think of it like money ferritin is your savings account it's your iron stores Hemoglobin is your checking account.
Val WarnerHOST
It's the iron you're using right now to carry oxygen within your red blood cell.
Val WarnerHOST
Your body pulls from savings to keep checking looking fine.
Will GibbHOST
Human blood is red all the way through.
Will GibbHOST
Hem- hemoglobin is rich in iron, and the iron is what makes it red.
Pat CliftonHOST
Mm-hmm.
Will GibbHOST
It [laughs] gets brighter the more oxygen it carries.
Samantha NakosGUEST
He also had diffuse pain to palpation throughout all primary muscle groups and in the joints of the legs.
Samantha NakosGUEST
His labs were significant for a thrombocytopenia, his platelets were 87,000, a mild anemia, hemoglobin of 12.3, and a transaminitis.
Samantha NakosGUEST
His final diagnosis was a concurrent babesiosis and poison ivy.
Brian GilbertiHOST
Okay, so a solid case, and like many times in emergency medicine, we have to deal with these red herrings and tease them out from the story, like poison ivy rash in this case, which served as a distractor when we're really looking for erythema migrans.
Samantha NakosGUEST
course.
Samantha NakosGUEST
So the other three that we consider are babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis.
Samantha NakosGUEST
Babesiosis, we tend to look for evidence of hemolytic anemia, low hemoglobin, elevated LDH, low haptoglobin, and reticulocytosis.
Samantha NakosGUEST
On a peripheral smear, we're also seeing that Maltese cross sign, which is an intra-erythrocytic parasite on the peripheral blood smear.
Charlie MilnerHOST
in the middle of Lidl fainting in the middle of Lidl said diddle is one of the most
AndrewHOST
worst places you could be probably what a lovely take that was blood is red because of hemoglobin
Charlie MilnerHOST
pun she no globin she living in here Hemoglobin.
Charlie MilnerHOST
Shemoglobin.
Charlie MilnerHOST
Vamoglobin.
Brenda DavisGUEST
Fasting A1C, so you wanna know what your blood glucose is like.
Brenda DavisGUEST
Um, I would do an HB or an HS-CRP, which is a measure of inflammation.
Brenda DavisGUEST
Um, an A1c, uh, you know, I mentioned-
Molly PatrickHOST
Mm-hmm
Spencer OliverHOST
[laughs] So not only are the cells getting less oxygen because the hemoglobin is bound up, but the, their ability to utilize oxygen to generate ATP is impacted as well.
Spencer OliverHOST
Adding to, uh, confusion, because why not, uh, you can have people who have normal oxygen readings, right? A standard SpO2 reader may give you a completely normal or even 100% reading because, as Chris pointed out, it can't reliably distinguish oxyhemoglobin from carboxyl- uh, carb- Carboxyhemoglobin ...
Spencer OliverHOST
from CO-hemoglobin.
Spencer OliverHOST
[laughs] And the amount of oxygen that's in the body, the PaO- PaO2, that's the amount of oxygen dissolved in the plasma, can also be normal.
Spencer OliverHOST
So that can make the hypoxia that the patients who are experiencing CO toxicity, uh, it can make that difficult to realize or recognize because, like, there's oxygen there, but the tissues aren't able to utilize it either, right? Yeah.
Terry RoperHOST
The reason it's so dangerous is that it gets into your bloodstream.
Terry RoperHOST
And carbon monoxide binds with Hemoglobin, about 200 times more than oxygen does.
Terry RoperHOST
It pretty much, or basically, hijacks your red blood cells.
Terry RoperHOST
Your blood cells are flowing, and it carries this poisonous gas instead of oxygen, which we kind of need oxygen to breathe.
