Howell jolly bodies.. think

A

hemolytic anemia and splenectomy

22

schistocytes …think

A

vasculitis

23

Target cell …think

A

iron def anemia or thalassemia

24
Q

Hienz body….think

A

G6PD

25
Q

Basophilic stippling…think

A

lead poisoning

26
Q

example of non-immune hemolytic anemia

A

G6PD
malaria
MAHA: MicroAngiopathic Hemolytic Anemia
PNH: paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobin

27
Q

CBC with differential

A

MCV
MCH
MCHC=MCH/MCV=concentration of MCH

28
Q

Microcytic Hypochromic

A

Impaired Hg production
low retic count
low MCV or low MCH

29
Q

mcc micro. hypochromic

A

Fe def: Rx: Ferrous iron with Vit C
fe &ferritin low, Transferrin(TIBC) high

30
Q

late chronic disease : any dz lasting over 3 weeks affect Bone marrow

A

low Fe, low TIBC
RBC dies 60-90 day instead of 140 days

31
Q

lead poisoning

A

Blocks Delta ALA dehydrate and Ferrochetolase
basophil stippling
high free erythrocyte protoporphyrin

32
Q

Hemoglobinopathies

A

Thalassemia:
Alpha
Beta

Hemoglobin S
SCD glu to Val on position 6 beta chain
SCD trait

33
Q

Sideroblastic anemia: cells, inheritance,test

A

hereditary
macrophages holding on to iron
Prussian blue stain

34
Q

hereditary spherocytoisis

A

low mcv, high MCHC, high Retic count, hight bill, hyperkalemia

35
Q

high MCV with defective nuclear division

A

Macrocytic anemia

36
Q

B12 def mcc, enzymes

A

mcc type A Gastritis(pernicious Anemia)
enzymes: Malonyl-CoA mutase
Homocysteine Methyl transferase

37
Q

how does anti-convulsive drug cause macrocytic anemia

A

they block Ca(needed for microtubules)
block folate (B9)
block sodium

38
Q

Anti-convulsive drugs
phenytoin
Ethosuximide
Valproic acid
carbamazepine

A

Blocks
Ca and folate
Ca
Na, Ca, folate
Na and Ca

39
Q

Glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) missing on RBC, complement tag for destruction

A

Paroxysmal nocturnal Hg
pt may present with usual clot due to thrombosis
may die of MI and stroke

40

Dx. PNH

A

flow cytometry to detect CD55 and CD59

Block C5 with
Eculizumab
