Q

psthemorrhagic anemia

A

after blood loss, while hypovolemic

22
Q

anemia of chronic inflammation

A

inflammation can impede bodies ability to form red blood cells

23
Q

polycythemia

A

too mnay red blood cells, blood gets sticky and does not circulate well

24
Q

relative polycythemia

A

just appears to be too thick, but may be temproary like with dehydration

25
Q

absolute polycythemia

A

too many red blood cells

26
Q

secondary absolut polycythemia

A

body compensates for having less oxygen by producing more RBCs, like with high altitudes

27
Q

polycythemia vera

A

thick stick blood, often for JAK2 mutation
increased risk for ischemia/infartion of tissue

28
Q

iron overload

A

too much iron, treated with chelation therapy

29
Q

hereditary hemochomatosis

A

iron does not get processed correctly, blood need to be removed

30
Q

lymphadenopathy

A

some disease that affects the lymph nodes

31
Q

hodgkins lymphoma

A

had reed-strenberg cells, cells with gigantic nucelus
has better prognosis

32
Q

non-hodgkin lymphoma

A

involves T,B, NK cells

33
Q

burkitts lymphoma

A

a complication of mono

Q

multiple myeloma

A

malignancy of plasma cells

35
Q

splenomegaly

A

enlarge spleen, like with ifectious diseases (mono)

36
Q

hypersplenism

A

hyperactive spleen, causes decrease in amount of RBCs and WBC and platelets ciculating

37
Q

thrombocyopenia

A

deficieency in platelets

38
Q

thrombocythemia

A

excess of platelets

A

relative, and lieka spike in platelets when spleen is removed

41
Q

impaired hemostasis

A

problem forming blood clots because of problem with platelets

42
Q

hemophilia

A

problem with clotting cascade, a protein that forms blood clots is missing

43
Q

immune thrombocytopenic purpura

A

antibodies against own platelets

44

what can platelet disorders cause

A

vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) or erythromelalgia

abnormal blood clotting throughout the body

46
Q

thrombus

A

a blood clot attached to a vessel wall

47
Q

ambolus

A

air, flat, or blood clot that block blood flow

48
