Q

who does not usually present with anemia sx?

A

vit B12 deficiency (pernicious)

48
Q

pernicious anemia tx

A

Parenteral (recommended) → B12 IM or SC qd 1 wk/wkly 1 mo THEN

1x/mo until B12 levels normalize – typically takes 2-3 mos

d/t issues w red bone marrow → suppression/injury to hematopoietic stem cell

causes → idiopathic, pregnancy, chemo & rad, viruses inc hepatitis

53
Q

aplastic anemia s/s

A

d/t pancytopenia = classic anemia sx, inf (bacterial &/or fungal), bleeding/hematoma out of proportion to injurysigns: pallor, purpura, petechiae

54
Q

sickle cell anemia & hgb

A

S instead of A d/t DNA alteration in B-globin chain

55
Q

sickle cell carrier vs disease

A

CARRIER
Each erythrocyte carries ~40% HbS

Normal shaped erythrocyte

Typically do not have any health related issues

DISEASE
Each erythrocyte carries about 80-96% HbS

Classic “sickle” cell RBC’s

Multiple health issues

56
Q

hgb S reacts to what?

A

hypoxia, dehydration, infection, &/or acidosis by solidifying & stretching erythrocyte into elongated “sickle” → causes ↓ RBC life

57
Q

where will you see sickle cells lab-wise

A

peripheral blood smear

58
Q

sickle cell anemia labs

A

MCV –↓to normal

MCHC & ret count – ↑leuko & thrombo -cytosis

↑ bilirubin & LDH

Electrophoresis (initial dx) – HbS present

Peripheral blood smear: elongated & “sickle” cell

59
Q

vasoocclusive crisis + s/s

A

sickle cell disease

THINK! hemolysis & ischemia

  • hemolysis: pallor, fatigue, jaundice
  • ischemia: pain (chest, abd, legs & arms)
  • end organ damage
60
Q

presentation hemolysis & ischemia

A

sickle cell vasoocclusive crisis

61
Q

hgb target for vasooclusive crisis + transfusion considerations

A

hgb 6-9 transfusion during crisis ↑ risk of vaso-occlusive issues!!

62
Q

sickle cell vasoocclusive crisis: acute mgmt

A
  • eval for other sx causes
  • IV fluids (rehydration): NS +/- D5
  • pain mgmt – ↑↑↑↑↑ amt
  • Supplemental O2
  • Infection mgmt
  • PRBC transf if indicated → Hgb 6-9 target
    • NOTE: transf ↑ risk of issues!!
63
Q

sickle cell vasoocclusive crisis: maintenance mgmt

A 
hematology referral
Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell tx
Folic acid
Hydroxyurea – turns HgbS to HgbF
Immunizations
Opioid pain mgmt
Education: stay hydrated, wash h&s, get shots, avoid heights
64
Q

pernicious anemia vs B12 deficiency anemia

A

pernicious: lack of intrinsic factor, prevents abs B12

65
Q

most common anemia

A

Fe deficiency, more common in female

66
Q

anemia of chronic disease

A

anemia categories associated with chronic disease states & aging processes: inflammation, organ failure, elderly

67
Q

folic acid d/t

A

commonly poor nutritional intake rather than GI absorption issue

68
Q

*pica: ice chips eating sign of

A

Fe deficiency anemia

69
Q

Fe deficiency anemia causes

A

pregnancy, GI & menstrual blood loss, poor dietary intake or GI abs

70
Q

B12 deficiency anemia (not pernicious) causes

A

gastrectomy
↓ ileal abs d/t surgical resection, Crohn’s
H. Pylori infection
dietary deficiency (vegetarian/vegan, poor nutritional supplementation)

71
Q

associate macrocytic anemia with ?

A

peripheral neuropathy -assess B6, B12, folate

72
Q

thrombocytopenia etiologies

A

chemo, heparin, idiopathic (↑ destruction, ↓ production)

73
Q

thrombocytopenia labs

A
  • plt under 100k

- PT, PTT normal

74
Q

thrombocytopenia tx

A
  • pt ed: risk of bleeding!
  • plt under 20k: hospitalize
  • monitor plts
  • avoid rx that interfere w plt production
  • chronic: consider splenectomy
  • consider bone marrow aspirate
  • prednisone is an option
