blood clotting, blood coagulation |
crase sanguine |
|
| the conversion of blood from a free-flowing liquid to a semisolid gel. Within seconds of injury to a blood vessel wall, platelets clump at the site. If normal amounts of calcium, platelets, and tissue factors are present, prothrombin will be converted to thrombin. Thrombin acts as a catalyst for the conversion of fibrinogen to a mesh of insoluble fibrin in which all the formed elements of blood are immobilized. Also called blood coagulation. |

| |
blood count |
hémogramme, numération globulaire |
|
| a lab test that measures various parts of the blood ; WBC, RBC,Hglb.,HCT, MCV,MCH, MCHC,PLTS,RDW and differential, which is used to diagnose bacterial or viral infections, anemias and other dyscrasias. |
| |
| |
blood dyscrasia |
dyscrasie |
|
| pathologic conditions or disorders such as leukemia or hemophilia in which any of the constituents of the blood are abnormal or are present in abnormal quantity. |
| |
| |
blood plasma |
plasma |
|
| the fluid portion of blood, making up 55% of the volume. It can be transfused into anyone regardless of blood type. |
| |
| |
blood pressure |
tension artérielle, pression artérielle |
|
| the measurement of blood exerted against the walls of the blood vessels ; systolic (the top number) is the first sound you hear and the dyastolic (the bottom number) is the last sound you hear |
| |
| |
blood vessel(s) |
vaisseau sanguin |
|
| any one of the network of muscular tubes that carry blood. The kinds of blood vessels are arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. |

count, blood, complete; CBC |
numération globulaire |
|
| CBC - the abbreviation for complete blood count, a procedure in which all the blood cells are counted per cubic millimeter, including a differential counting of the white blood cells (leukocytes); the determination of the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells, and platelets in an accurately measured volume of blood. It usually includes the quantity of hemoglobin per cubic millimeter of blood. A normal red blood count is 4 to 5.5 million cells/cubic mm of blood. |
| |
| |
test, blood sedimentation; erythrocyte sedimentation test |
réaction de sédimentation globulaire, vitesse de sédimentation globulaire |
|
| a macroscopic test of the blood used to detect certain pathologic conditions, particularly inflammation. The blood cells are allowed to settle in the presence of an anticoagulant and the time (sedimentation time) determined. The greater the time or rate, the more severe the condition. Pregnancy and menstruation affect the sedimentation. |
