B3-040 Blood Cell Disorders Flashcards
if there’s blasts in the blood sample, what test should be done next?
flow cytometry
neoplasms of hematopoietic stem cells with proliferation of one or more of the myeloid lineages with accumulation of maturing or mature cells
myeloproliferative neoplasms
**proliferation with maturation
myeloproliferative neoplasms [5]
chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)
polycythemia vera (PV)
primary myelofibrosis (PMF)
essential thrombocytosis (ET)
mastocytosis
myeloproliferative neoplasms are caused by mutated
tyrosine kinases
t(9;22)
CML
P210 fusion protein from BCR/ABL-1 fusion
CML
most myeloproliferative neoplasms are caused by a ________ mutation in ________
point; psuedokinase domain of JAK2
on chr 9
the tyrosine kinase mutation causes
loss of autoinhibition; constitutive phosphorylation of STAT5
JAK2 inhibitor [drug]
ruxolitinib
P210 fusion protein inhibitor for CML [drug]
imatinib mesylate (Gleevec)
present in all cases of PV and up to 50% of PMF and ET cases
JAK2 point mutation
mutated chaperone protein causing 25-35% of PMF and ET
calreticulin
mutated protein causing mastocytosis
KIT
thromboproietic receptor mutation causing a small amount of PMF and ET
MPL
neoplasm of pluripotential hematopoietic stem cell
CML
marked granulocytosis including all stages of maturation
CML
BCR-ABL rearrangement
CML
neoplasm of multipotential hematopoietic stem cell, predominantly effects erythroid lineage
PV
markedly increased total body erythrocyte mass
PV
neoplasm of multipotential hematopoietic stem cell with reactive fibrosis
PMF
pro-fibrotic growth factors (PDGF, TGF-b) from megakaryoctes
PMF
neoplasms of multipotential hematopoietic stem cell with uncontrolled proliferation of megakaryocytes
ET
marked increase in platelets and abnormal platelet function
ET
neoplasm of mast cells
mastocytosis
increased and morphologically abnormal mast cells in various tissues
mastocytosis
initially asymptomatic
non-specific
splenomegaly
thrombosis or bleeding
CML
increased RBC mass: plethora, headache, dizziness, visual disturbances, angina
splenomegaly
thrombosis or bleeding
PV
non-specific symptoms
splenomegaly
infections, hemmorhage
PMF
splenomegaly can cause
early satiety, feelings of fullness, LUQ pain
thrombosis of large vessels
bleeding due to platelet functional abnormalities
erythromelagia
ET
urticaria pigmentosa in children
mastocytosis
mastocytosis can cause what systemic disease in 10% of adults?
systemic mastocytosis
leukocytosis >20,000 per uL
**often >100,000
CML
elevated RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit
low or normal serum EPO
PV
