haemolytic anaemia

A

18
Q

aniscytosis

A

varying size RBC on smear

19
Q

how many irons on one transferrin

20
Q

which IL increses hipcidin production in th eliver

21
Q

IDA and inflammation which test

A

serum transferrin saturation

22
Q

macrocytic aneamia causes

A

B12 and folate deficiency

23
Q

folate is converted to.. in the…by

A

tertrahydrofolate in the gut dihydrofolate reductase

24
Q

folate is used to

A

transfer carbon eg methyl groups

25
Q

liver store of folate

A

3-4 months

26
Q

drug which impairs dihydrofolate

A

methotrexate

27
Q
A

hypersegmented nucleus of neutrophil, large RBC
megaloblastic anaemia

28
Q

B 12 is for

A

methianine synthase
methyl malonyl co-A mutase

29
Q

methyl malonyl co-A mutase deficiency

A

myelination prob

30
Q

megalobastic anaemia plus neurologic symptoms

A

B12 deficiency

31
Q

folate deficiency neurological symptoms in adults?

32
Q

where is B12 stored? How long?`

A

liver 3-6 years

33
Q

NOS abuse leads to

A

B12 deficiency - neurological damage

34
Q

most specific test for pernicious anaemia

A

anti IF antibodies

35
Q

what does methyl malonyl mutase enzyme do

A

Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase catalyzes the conversion of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, thus linking the final catabolic pathways of branched-chain amino acids, odd-chain fatty acids, and cholesterol to the Krebs cycle

36
Q

how can folate supplementation mask B12 deficiency

37
Q

blood test for B12 deficiency other than measurin B 12

A

homocysteinuria

38
Q

megaloblastic =

A

large, hypersegmented neutrophils

39
Q

explain how folatepenia can be masked by B12 supplementation

40
Q

generally speaking, black urine=

A

haemolytic anemia
