Maddie, age 2, had a complete blood count (cbc) drawn at her last visit. it indicates that she has a microcytic hypochromic anemia.  you should <u>Obtain a lead level of Maddie's blood.</u>

<u />

  • Lead damages heme production and speeds up red blood cell oxidation, which results in anemia.
  • Microcytic, hypochromic anemia is the type of anemia that is most frequently encountered, yet it is most likely caused by other factors such iron shortage.
  • Due to lead's inhibition of ferro chelatase, the red blood cell progenitors accumulate iron-rich mitochondria, which is related to the process of the ring sideroblasts.
  • Hypochromic microcytic anemia and basophilic stippling of red blood cells are symptoms of lead toxicity.
  • When lead toxicity coexists with iron deficiency anemia, hypochromia and microcytosis are frequently observed.
  • In every instance of lead poisoning, it's critical to evaluate the iron storage status (ferritin).

The electron transport chain and ATP synthase are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane.The electrons flow through the electron transport chain, causing protons to be pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space. Eventually, the electrons are passed to oxygen, which combines with protons to form water.
