Introduction to the field of blood banking, including the study of the theoretica knowledge of blood groups and blood grouping, component and transfusion therapies, transfusion reactions, and allo- and auto-antibody formation. In laboratory sessions, the student performs ABO and Rh grouping, antibody identification, and compatibility testing. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: CLT 216 Immunology or approval of the CLT advisor.
-
4.00 Credits
Designed to cover principles, analytical methods, and clinical significance of clinical chemistry as performed in the medical laboratory. The relationship of physiochemical of body function in health and disease including the renal, liver, digestive and respiratory systems. Emphasis on those clinical tests which evaluate the function of these systems related to metabolism, protein synthesis, pH, blood gases, electrolyte balance, enzymes, and hormones. Laboratory work includes the theory, operation and maintenance of the specialized and semi- and fully automated analytical instrumentation used to perform these tests.
