alteration in hematologic function Flashcards
primary result of Anemia
tissue hypoxia
hypoxemia
decreased O2 in the blood
what causes anemia
altered production of RBC
blood loss
increased destruction of RBCs
normocytic
red blood cells a normla size
macrocytic
abnormall large cell
microcytic
abnormally small cell
normochromic
normal RBC
hypochromic
not enough hemoglobin in RBC
hyperchromic
too much hemoglobin in RBC
anisocytosis
red blood cells being made in a variety of sizes
poikilocytosis
red blood cells made in a variety of shapes
pernicious anemia
macrocytic normochromic
don’t produce enough intrinsic factor, which means not enough B12
folate deficiency anemia
macrocytic-normochromic
not enough folic acid
Iron deficiency anemia
microcytic-hypochromic anemia
sideroblastic anemia
microcytic-hypochromic
iron not being properly used for hemoglobin, causes precursors with rings
The thalassemias
microcytic-hypochromic
effect 2 alpha and 2 beta particles that make up hemoglobin
insufficient oxygen in blood supply
aplastic anemia
normocytic-normochromic
malignancy of some kind, not making enough RBCs
hemolytic anemia
normocytic-normochromic
red blood cells bursting, cannot maintain red blood cell intergtrity
hemolytic disease of the newborn
aquired
Rh factor (mom negative, baby positive)
sickle cell anemia
hereditary hemolytic anemia
