BLI 9 - Normocytric Anemia II (Siddiqui) Flashcards
Usually asymptomatic but may have difficulty concentrating urine
Hb SA (sickle cell trait)
In sickle cell disease, hemolysis is mostly _______
extravascular
Sickle cell disease point mutation
Glutamic acid to valine at 6th position
RIsk due to autosplenectomy
risk of infection from encapsulated organisms Spleen has fibrosed due to ischemia and infarction –> autosplenectomy
Spherocytosis w/ positive coombs test
AIHA
O157:H7
HUS Verotoxin causes endothelial cell damage –> platelet microthrombi –> schistocytes
Organism responsible for osteomyelitis in the a patient with sickle cell disease
Organism responsible for osteomyelitis in normal pt
Salmonella typhi S. aureus
Clinical manifestations for TTP/HUS
FAT RN
Fever
Anemia
Thrombocytopenia
Renal insufficiency – more HUS
Neurologic abnormalities – more TTP
Homozygous Hb S
Sickle cell disease
vaso-occlusive crisis
Sickle cell disease – sickled RBCs obstruct microvasculature
Schistocytes
MAHA
Hb C disease mutation
Glutamic acid –> Lysine at 6th position
Pancytopenia
Low RI
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemolysis
Aplastic Anemia
Hb SS vaccine
Pneumococcal
Heterozygous Hb S
Sickle cell trait
S. pneumo H. flu
Encapsulated organisms with increased risk of infection after autosplenectomy
