Q

Pure red cell aplasia

A

Immune mediated intravascular peracute haemolysis
NGIMHA
If it remains non regen for >5 days then the immune system targets erythroid precursor cells

A

lack of hormones
inflammation

21
Q

Lack of hormones

A

hypothyroidism
Addison’s

22
Q

Inflammation (Anaemia of chronic disdease)

A

cytokine release –> increased hepcidin release –> decreased ferritin –> decreased Fe availablilty
