Mean corpuscular Hb concentration

Etheylene diamine tetraacetic acid

Mononuclear phagocytic system

Bisphosphogylcerate

Prostaglandin

Nitric oxide

Phospholipid

Reduced number (decreased thrombocytes, decreased leukocytes)

Blood volume (decreased is hypo, increased is hyper)

Disseminated intravascular coagulation

von Willebrand disease

One stage prothrombin time

Activated partial thromboplastin time

Activated clotting time

Solute in gms/100ml solution

Weight of blood (urine)/Weight of same volume of water

Molecular weight of a substance in grams (weight of 6 x 10²³ molecules)

No: of moles/Kg of solvent (water)

No: of moles/Kg of solvent (water)

Weight (atomic or molecular or formula)/valence

• mEq/L = mmol/l x valence
• mOsm/L = mmol/L x no. of particles per molecule

Net movement of solvent across a semi-permeable membrane from a solution of lower to higher solute concentration

No: of molecules in 1 mole of undissociated solute (Ex: 1 mole of NaCl = 2 osmoles)

No: of osmoles/Kg of solvent (Plasma 290-310 mOsmol/Kg)

Solutes that are able to effect an osmotic pressures as they can't pass through a semi-permeable membrane (eg. Glucose, NaCl)

Solutes that are unable to effect an osmotic pressures as they can freely diffuse through a semi permeable membrane (eg. Urea)

Effective osmotic pressure of a solution with respect to a selectively permeable membrane
