B3-047 Hypoproliferative Anemia Flashcards
causes of hypoproliferative anemia
bone marrow failure
bone marrow infiltration/replacement
nutritional deficiency
anemia of chronic disease
myelodysplastic syndrome
myeloid stem cell disorder due to marrow hypoplasia or pancytopenia
aplastic anemia
clinical features of aplastic anemia
anemia
leukopenia
thrombocytopenia
**no spelnomegaly
pathogenesis of aplastic anemia
primary stem cell abnormality
immune mediated stem cell destruction
genetic factors for aplastic anemia cause the potential for
additional mutations/ acute myeloid leukemia
etiology of aplastic anemia
immunologic
environmental
genetic
pathology of blood in aplastic anemia
pancytopenia
normochromic, normocytic RBCs
no poikilocytes
reticulocytopenia
pathology of bone marrow in aplastic anemia
hypocellular
decreased hematopoiesis
increased marrow fat
aplastic anemia
treatment: aplastic anemia
supportive transfusions
immunosuppression
androgens
hematopoietic stem cell transplant
prognosis: aplastic anemia
1 year without treatment
75% 5 year survival with successful transplant
disorder of erythroid progenitor cell causing decreased erythropoiesis
pure red cell aplasia
clinical features of pure red cell aplasia
anemia
paraneoplastic syndrome causing pure red cell aplasia
thymoma
viral infection causing pure red cell aplasia
parvovirus B19
other causes of pure red cell aplasia
drugs, autoimmune
pathology of blood pure red cell aplasia
normochromic, normocytic anemia, no poikilocytes
reticulocytopenia
pathology of bone marrow pure red cell aplasia
markedly decreased erythroid precursors
intranuclear inclusions in erythroblasts in parvo19 infection
pure red cell aplasia
treatment: pure red cell aplasia
thymectomy
plasmapheresis
androgens
supportive transfusions
prognosis: pure red cell aplasia
10 years without treatment
50% spontaneous remission
50% cure rate with thymectomy
decreased erythropoiesis die to bone marrow infiltration or replacement
myelophthisic anemia
clinical features: myelophthisic anemia
anemia
features of underlying disease
pathogenesis of myelophthisic anemia
metastatic cancer
fibrosis
hematopoietic neoplasms
blood pathology: myelophthisic anemia
normochromic, normocytic anemia
teardrop erythrocytes
circulating nulceated RBCs
granulocytic left shift
reticulocytopenia
