4. Hematology Flashcards
anemia
reduction in 1 of the following:
[Hg]
hct
RBC
WHO anemia definition
Hb < 12 g/dL women
Hb < 13 g/dL men
DLO2
CO*CaO2
CaO2
1.34HbSaO2 + PaO2*0.003
major contributor to amount of O2 in blood
hb
anemia compensation
redistribution of blood from skin/muscles/kidneys to brain heart and lung
shunt of blood from kidneys causes
EPO release
trigger for transfusion
Hb < 10 g/dL
Hct < 30%
in anemic pts we should try to _____ O2-Hb curve
aovid shifting O2-Hb left
CADET face RIGHT
CO2
Acid
D 2,3 DPG
Exercise
Temp
microcytic anemia
MCV < 80fL
microcytic anemia common causes
iron deficiency
thalassemia
iron deficiency causes infants
nutritional deficieny
iron definciency primary cause adults
blood loss
iron deficiency anemia labs
Hb 9-12 g/dL
ferritin < 41 ng/mL
thalassemia diagnosis
Hb electrophoresis
thalaseemia best anesthetic technique
all equal
thalassemia SE
incr thrombotic risk
normocytic anemia
MCV 80-100 fL
normocytic anemia types
hemolytic anemia
chronic disease anemia
CKD anemia
aplastic anemia
normocytic anemias trait
have enough material to make RBCs but RBCs dont last long enough or cant make enough RBCs to keep up
hereditatry spherocytosis
autosomal dominant
deficiency in membran proteins
unable to mx RBC shape
hereditary spheocytosis ahould avoid
mechanical valves
bypass
hereditary elliptocytosis
autosomal dominant abnormalioty of membrane proteins spectrin/glycophorin
elliptical or rod shape
acanthocytosis
defective membrane structure due to lack of beta-lipoprotein
acanthocytosis comorbidities
cirrhosis
severe pancreatitis
paroxysmal nocturnal hymoglobinuria
stem cell disorder in 2nd - 8th decade of life
paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria S+S
dark urine overnight
paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinura treatment
exulizumab
what should you not use in paroxysmal noctunal hemoglobinura
cell saver
Glu-6-phos dehydrogenase deficiency
x-linked genetic disroder
RBC unable to handle stress so hemolysis occurs
Glu-6-phos dehydrogenase definiency avoid
oxidative drugs:
iso
sevo
reglan
penicillin
methylene blue
hypothermia
acidosis
hyperglycemia
what form of iron do we want
Fe2+ (ferrous)
does sickle cell trait cause incr M+M?
no - only sickle cell disease
SCA Hct goal
30%
SCA goals
decr anxiety
hydration
decr acidosis
decr hypothermia
Sickle C
cells lose water thorugh incr K+/Cl- transporter activity
warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (WAHA)
red cell lysis due to warm agglutinis
IgG lysis at 37C+
WAHA associated with
lupus
lymphoma
leukemia
HIV
Cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia (CAHA)
red cel lysis due to cold exposure
ImM lysis at 0-10C
CAHA associated with
mycoplasma infections
neoplamss
CAHA treatment
avoid cold
rituximab
plasmapheresis
WAHA treatment
corticosteroids
splenectomy
rituximab
anemia of chronic disease (ACD)
decr production
+
decr lifespan of RBCs
ACD type
normocytic
normochromic
hyperproliferative
ACD mech
iron trapped in macrophages
decr [EPO]
ACD treatment
cure underlying dz
give Iron
give EPO
anemia of CKD
due to decr EPO production
ACKD treament
correct iron deficiency
give EPO
ACKD hb goal
Hb 10-12 g/dL
aplastic anemia
autosomal recessive
progressive failure of bone marrow that usually results in leukemia
macrocytic anemia
MCV: >100 fL
defects in nuclear maturation
