auto immune hemolytic anemias Flashcards
list benign cold agglutinins
- anti I: 0 rxn w/ cord cells
- anti i: does mpt react with adult RBC
- anti IH
describe CHD
- mostly anti-I with wide thermal range
- purple extremities
- cold hemagglutinin disease
describe PCH
- episodes of hgb uria after cold exposure
- associated with syphilis, mumps
- donath Landsteiner anti-P
describe the donath landsteiner test
- pt serum, normal serum, mixed serum
- 37 until tested
- 37->0->37
- check for hemolysis
which type of anemia is not often associated with comp activation
- PCH
- CAD
- drug adsorption
- WAIHA
drug adsorption
what is the special characteristic of drug induced antibody
tea colored plasma
describe drug adsorption mechanism
- drug onto RBC membrane
- Ab against drug destroys RBC
- IgG no compliment
- hemolysis
list DAT and eluate results for drug adsorption
IgG pos
C3 neg
eluate neg
hemolysis pos
name drugs related to drug adsorption hemolytic anemia
- cefotetan
- streptomycin
- penicillin
describe immune complex mechanism
- Ab and drug combine then attach to RBC
- comp activated by complex
- intravascular hemolysis
name DAT results from immune complex
- IgG +/=
- C3+
- eluate neg
describe membrane modification mechanism of ation
drug nonspecifically binds RBC membrane so IgG, IgM and IgA attach
- nonimmune process
- no hemolysis
name DAT results for membrane modificatoin
IgG +
C3 +
eluate neg
hemolysis neg
describe drug independent anemia
- autoantibody against drug alters T cells
name DAT results for drug independent anemia
- IgG+
- C3 +/=
- eluate pos
- hemolysi spos
