Q

what causes reticulocytosis

A

anemia decreases RBC mass which stimulates kidney to release erythropoetin which stimulates bone marrow to increase amount of reticulocytes

Q

Most hemolytic anemias are what -cytic

A

normocytic

23
Q

what is the exception to the rule that hemolytic anemias are normocytic and what type is it

A

Thalassemias is microcytic and hypochromic

24
Q

what disease is characterized by sphistocytes

A

microangiopathic hemolytiv anemia

25
Q

what disease is characterized by sperocytes

A

hereditary spherocytosis, warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia

26
Q

what disease is characterized by RBC agglutination

A

cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia

27
Q

what are spherocytes

A

when pieces of RBC membrane get taken up by splenic macrophages, RBC goes from biconcave shape to sphere

28
Q

what is hemoglobinopathy (eg. sickle cell)

A

structurally abnormal hemoglobin due to mutation in alpha or beta globin gene
Extravascular, intrinsic, inherited

29
Q

what is thalassemia

A

Decreased production of alpha or beta chains due to mutations
Extravascular, intrinsic, inherited

30
Q

what are important proteins of the cytoskeleton of RBCs

A

Ankyrin, spectrin, band 3, band 4.2

31
Q

what is spherocytosis

A

membrane defect in cytoskeletal protein

Extravascular, intrinsic, inherited

32
Q

what is an RBC enzyme defect

A

G6P dehydrogenase deficiency

33
Q

what is G6P dehydrogenase deficiency

A

decreased level of critical enzyme, increased sensitivity to oxidative stress
Intravascular and extravascular intrinsic inherited XR

34
Q

what is the inhertiance pattern of hereditary spherocytosis

A

Ankyrin is the culprit usually and AD

35
Q

what is G6PD used for

A

reducing GSH

36
Q

what is PNH

A

clonal disorder with mutation in phosphatidylinositol glycan complementation group A (PIGA) gene

37
Q

what does PIGA do

A

its an anchor protein that works to prevent complement mediated lysis of RBCs

38
Q

what proteins help anchor RBCs to PIGA

A

CD55, CD59

39
Q

describe PNH (intra/extra, intrinsic/extrinsic, aquired/hereditary)

A

Intravascular intrinsic aquired

40
Q

patients with PNH are at risk of what

A

blood organ cancers

41
Q

what are the autoimmune hemolytic anemias

A

Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia

42
Q

what is warm AHA

A

IgG antibodies active at 37 degrees recognized by splenic macrophages (Fc receptors) with membarne loss (Spherocytes) extravascular extrinsic aquired

43
Q

what is cold AHA

A

IgM antibodies active below 37 degrees, large pentameric molecule can bind to more than 1 RBC (agglutination)and activate complement with complement mediated RBC lysis
intravascular and extravascular extrinsic aquired

44
Q

how do you detect antibodies coating RBCs

A

coombs test

45
Q

how do you treat cold AHA?

A

keep them warm!

46
Q

what is direct coombs test

A

detects Abs coating RBCs

47
Q

What is indirect coombs test

A

detects Ab in plasma that can react with RBCs

48
Q

what is DAT

A

identifies IgG or IgM Abs coating RBCs, can differentiate etiology of spherocytes

49
Q

what are allimunization and transfusion reaction for

A

ABO antibodies, is what happens when you transfuse a blood type other than your own would cause massive intravascular hemolysis

50
Q

alloantibodies to other RBC antigens cause what

A

IgG, extravascular hemolysis over weeks

51
Q

What is traumatic hemolytic anemia caused by

A

trauma in large vessels/heart (macroangiopathic)
intravascular extrinsic aquired
trauma in microcirculation

52
Q

describe trauma in microcirculation

A

trauma due to widespread clots in microcirculation

53
Q

what are found in trauma in microcirculation

A

schistocytes thrombocytopenia cariable abnormalities of coagulation tests
