anemia and blood growth factors- wolffe Flashcards
adverse effect of filgrastim, sagramostim, and erythropoietin makes sense given site of their effects
bone pain
example of oral iron pill
ferrous sulfate
folate deficiency may cause this, but it is not associated with the neurological problems caused by vitamin B12 deficiency
depression
infection that can cause pernicious anemia in the absence of autoantibodies
h. pylori
while alcohol is the most common cause of sideroblastic anemia, this environmental toxin can also block heme synthesis to cause it
lead
consequence of peripheral vasodilation due to oxygen-poor blood and reduced viscosity during anemia
low pressure
transports ~98.5% of the oxygen in the blood
hemoglobin
iron chelator administered as therapy for potentially lethal iron poisoning
deferoxamine
___ is the same as vitamin b-12
cobalamin
nanoparticle used to treat iron deficiency, can infuse faster than colloidal iron
ferumoxytol
glycoprotein secreted by parietal cells, complexes with cobalamin to facilitate its uptake via cubulin receptors in the ileum
intrinsic factor
use of this for analgesia during surgery can cause rapid onset of vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms
nitrous oxide
common in anemia due to decreased oxygen carrying capacity of blood causing elevated heart rate
angina
sign of anemia that can be evident from a distance
pallor
common symptom of anemia
fatigue
cause nausea an vomiting diarrhea or constipation, anorexia, heart burn, and dark spots
iron tablets
this for macrocytic anemia is aided by measuring plasma levels of folate, vitamin B12, homocysteine, and methyl-malonic acid
diagnosis
AKA c-kit, has potent synergistic actions on early progenitor cells, but cannot be used since this stimulatory effect extends to mast cells and gives rise to severe allergic reactions
stem cell factor
contributes to the reason that 2 of the 4 heme moieties of hemoglobin have a bound O2 molecule at 26.8 torr
positive cooperativity
this and sustained release formulations drastically reduces the bio availability of orally administered iron
enteric coating
frequently heard in anemia because of teh thinner blood leaks through the closed valves
murmur
recombinant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, it increases growth and proliferation of neutrophil progenitor cells and also facilitate actions of mature neutrophils (i.e. phagocytosis, respiratory burst)
filgrastim
visible GI tract consequences of folate deficiency
mouth ulcers
approximately half-saturated with oxygen at 2 torr, reason oxygen can be stripped from hemoglobin and stored in muscles
myoglobin
indication from romiplostim or eltrombopag, after failure of first choice
ITP - immune thrombocytopenia purpura
although filgrastim can speed the recovery from severe neutropenia, there is less evidence of impact on this for this expensive drug
clinical outcomes
life-threatening complication of chemo; hypotension, COPD, dehydration and age >60 years are among the risk factors for underlying gram -, gram + and/or fungal
neutropenic fever
symmetric form of this +/- alterations in gait and cognition are common neuropsychiatric symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
parasthesia
in combination with poor dietary intake, is a common cause of folate deficiency
alocoholism
among the choices for IV administration of iron due to malabsorption or intolerance of oral forms, administration bypasses hepcidin regulation
iron dextran
can be severe with oral iron administration
GI irritation
can cause the elastin-rich eye to turn yellow
hemolysis
