Chronic granlumatous disease Lose the cells ability to make H2O2 and then catalase positive cells degrade environmental H2O2 -> no substrate to make HCLO3 via myeloperoxidase
183
Role of NADPH and RBC health
H2O2 and other free radicals are reduced by glutathione while glutathione is oxidized to glutathione disulfide Glutathione is regenerated w/ glutathione reductase which uses NADPH as an e- donator. No NADPH, no protection from free radicals for RBC -> hemolysis (problem w/ G6PD deficiency)
184

folic acid and B12 deficiency B12 has neuro symptoms, low serum levels, high homocysteine levels and increased MMA megaloblastic means large cells - keep growing due to impaired DNA synthesis and can't divide - > seen in the bone marrow and peripheral smear - > anemia in Macrocytic RBC - >hypersegmented PMNs
344
Deficiency in Folic acid may be due to (4)
Drugs - methotrexate - phenytoin - sulfonamides - trimethoprim
345
Most common vitamin deficiency in the US?
Folic acid -alcoholism and pregnancy
346
Vitamin that has cobalt associated w/ it?
B12 - cobalamin
347
Function of Cobalamin? (2 reactions) Deficiency(2)
cofactor for : homocysteine methytransferase -->(homocysteine-> methionine and THF) --> very important in DNA synthesis methylmalmonyl CoA mutase -> methylmalonyl CoA -> succinyl CoA Deficiency leads to - macrocytic megaloblastic anemia (hyper segmented PMNs) - neurologic symptoms : paresthesis, subacute degeneration, dementia, memory loss, weakness)
348
Clinical picture for B12 deficiency(4)
Strict vegans/vegetarians malabsrobtion - celiac sprue - enteritis - diphyllobothrium datum intrinsic factor deficiency - pernicious anemia - Gastric bypass absence of terminal ileum -Crohns
349
Pernicious anemia is due to ? test for it how?
autoimmune attack of the parietal cell or intrinsic factor leads to a deficiency in B12
350
Schilling test used for detecting?
used for detecting radioactive B12 uptake | - if limited fluorescent B12 is in the urine then there is pernicious anemia
351
Where is B12 absorbed
in the terminal illium bound to intrinsic factor
352
peripheral neuropathy and glossitis? (2)
B12 and B6
353
pernicous anemia due to deficiency in?
B12
354
used in carboxylation reactions
Biotin B7
355
used by pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha ketoglutarate
B1 thiamine
356
Vitamins critical for DNA synthesis
B9 and B12
