27
myelophthisic anemia
28
macrocytic anemia due to deficiency of vitamin B12 or folic acid
megaloblastic anemia
29
deficiency of B12 and folic acids impairs
DNA synthesis due to defective thymidine synthesis
30
causes of B12 deficiency
vegan diet impaired absorption
31
causes of impaired absorption of B12
intrinsic factor deficiency (pernicious anemia, gastrectomy) malabsorption ileal resection bacterial overgrowth in blind loops fish tapeworm infection
32
causes of folic acid deficiency
decreased intake (diet, alcoholism) impaired absorption increased loss increased requirement impaired utilization (folic acid antagonists)
33
causes of impaired absorption of folic acid
malabsorption intestinal disease anticonvulsants, oral contraceptives
34
causes of increased folic acid requirement
pregnancy infancy disseminated cancer increased hematopoiesis
35
clinical features: megaloblastic anemia
anemia neurologic deficits (B12 only)
36
vitamin B12 deficiency causes [neurologic deficits]
demyelination of dorsal and lateral spinal tracts spastic paraparesis, sensory ataxia, severe parathesia
37
periventricular white matter degeneration B12 deficiency
38
posterior column of spinal cord degeneration B12 deficiency

vitamin B12 deficiency causes _______________________ in pernicious anemia
intrinsic factor antibodies
45
vitamin B12 deficiency causes intrinsic factor antibodies in _____________
pernicious anemia
46
in megaloblastic anemia serum B12 is [low/high]
low
47
in megaloblastic anemia serum methylmalonic acid is [high/low]
high
48
in megaloblastic anemia, serum homocysteine is [high/low]
high
49
in megaloblastic anemia, serum and RBC folate is [high/low]
low
50
treatment: megaloblastic anemia
parenteral or oral B12 oral folic acid
51
high dose folic acid supplementation can improve anemia in vitamin B12 deficiency, but will cause
exacerbated neurological defects
52
markedly reduced cellularity, most space occupied by fat
aplastic anemia
53
hypocellularity is characteristic of
aplastic anemia
54
the bone marrow in megaloblastic and autoimmune hemolytic anemia would show
hypercellularity
55
ACD is associated with a ....... reticulocyte count
low
56
hemolytic or anemias due to blood loss would show a ......... reticulocyte count
high
57
normocytic anemia with decreased reticulocyte count
hypoproliferative anemia
58
most common cause of iron deficient anemia in US is
chronic blood loss
59
most common cause of IDA worldwide
poor dietary intake
60
elevated homocysteine
folic acid deficiency
61
elevated serum methymalonic acid
B12 deficiency | parenteral B12
62
elevated serum methymalonic acid
B12 deficiency | parenteral B12
63
increased levels of hepcidin lead to
decreased absorption of iron from enterocyte into blood
64
most iron in the body is present in
blood | hemoglobin
