33. Non-regenerative anaemias Flashcards
Non regenerative anaemia
anaemias with a lack of regenerative response
Normal reticulocyte count
Dog: 60-80 x 10^9 cells/l
Cat: 15-42 x 10^9 cells/l
Reticulocyte count during blood loss
x3 higer
Reticulocyte count during hemolysis
x7 higer
Polychromasia
when there is an increase of intensely stained rbcs
How long does it take rbcs to mature
4 days

non regenerative anaemia diseases
Pure red cell aplasia
Deficiency anaemias/ refractory anaemias
Anaemia of chronic disdease
Myelodysplastic syndromes
Acute lymphoblastic anaemia
Chronic lymphoblastic anaemia
Pure red cell aplasia
Immune mediated intravascular peracute haemolysis
NGIMHA
If it remains non regen for >5 days then the immune system targets erythroid precursor cells
Predisposed to Pure red cell aplasia
Young/ middle aged
Neutered females
Diagnosis of Pure red cell aplasia
Dysmyelopoesis
Haemorrhage
Fibrosis
Necrosis
Treatment of Pure red cell aplasia
Same as IMHA
Deficiency anaemias/ refractory anaemias
Anaemias not related to the bone marrow
