14 signs Flashcards
cachexia
B-thalassemia
-bc nutrients is stolen from tissues that are O2 starved for erythroid progenitors.
hemosiderosis
hemolytic anemias (hereditary spherocytosis, G6PD, sicle cell, thalassemia, PNH, immunohemolytic anemias, d/t trauma) =accumulation of hemosiderin (iron containing pigment) from RBC phagocytosis
Intestinalization as parietal cells are replaced with mucus secreting goblet cells.
pernicious anemia
Extremity vascular beds < 30°C can lead to obstruction → pallor, cyanosis and Raynaud’s.
Cold Agglutinin type of immunohemolytic anemia
- Easy bleeding and bruising.
- Hematomas.
- Bleeding into soft tissue and muscles.
- Increased risk of bleeding during and after surgery.
- Spontaneous hemorrhage in regions of the body normally subject to trauma (hemarthroses) that can lead to progressive, crippling deformities. Pts may have 1-2 target joints.
- No petechiae.
hemophilia A or B
IgG against RBCs previously sensatized to in blood transfused product
chronic hemolytic reaction from transfusion
Increased HbA2
Nml HbF
Bthalassemia minor
demyelination of dorsal and lateral spinal cord tracts
pernicious anemia
pigment gall stones
hemolytic anemias (hereditary spherocytosis, G6PD, sicle cell, thalassemia, PNH, immunohemolytic anemias, d/t trauma) -from eleveted bilirubin in the bile
Anemia, hemoglobinemia, hemoglobinuria, hemosiderinuria, jaundice.
intravasc hemolysis –> hemolytic anemia
-so G6PD, PNH
convulsions, coma
DIC
stroke, retinal prbs, growth retardation
Sickle cell anemia
-from Microvascular occlusions of tissue
fundic gland atrophy
pernicious anemia
dilated, tortuous, thin-walled vessels.
Bleeding Disorder: Vessel Wall Abnormalities from Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (weber-osler-rendu Syndrome)
pulmonary infiltrates
Transfusion-related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI)
rapid splenic enlargement, hypovolemia and possible shock
sickle cell anemia: sequestration crisis
Microcytosis with minimal anemia and no abnormal physical s/s
a thalassemia trait: Trans deletion
PTT prolonged
- Type 1 Von Willebrand Disease
- hemophilia A or B
priapism
sickle cell anemia: pain crisis (vasculoocclusive dis)
Massive erythroid hyperplasia and extramedullary erythropoiesis.
- Sickle cell anemia
- B thalassemia major
atrophic glossitis
pernicious anemia
=beefy red tongue
HTN, obese, anxious pts
Gaisbock syndrome (stress polycythemia): a relative polycythemia
rapid thrombocytopenia after starting heparin
Type 1 heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
mild erythroid hyperlasia
Bthalassemia minor
platelet count nml
Bleeding Disorder: Vessel Wall Abnormalities
HSM
B thalassemia major
dyspnea, cyanosis, resp failure
DIC
normoblasts in bm (erythroid precursors)
hemolytic anemias (hereditary spherocytosis, G6PD, sicle cell, thalassemia, PNH, immunohemolytic anemias, d/t trauma)
