BONE MARROW FAILURE Flashcards
is the reduction or cessation of blood cell production affecting one or more cell lines
BONE MARROW FAILURE
destruction of hematopoietic stem cells due to injury by drugs, chemicals, radiation, viruses, or autoimmune mechanisms
BONE MARROW FAILURE
premature senescence and apoptosis
BONE MARROW FAILURE
ineffective hematopoiesis due to stem cell mutations or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency
BONE MARROW FAILURE
disruption of the bone marrow microenvironment that supports hematopoiesis
BONE MARROW FAILURE
decreased production of hematopoietic growth factors or related hormones
BONE MARROW FAILURE
loss of normal hematopoietic tissue
BONE MARROW FAILURE
include pancytopenia, reticulocytopenia, bone marrow hypercellularity, and depletion of hematopoietic stem cells
APLASTIC ANEMIA
Acquired Aplastic Anemia
Two major categories:
- Idiopathic acquired aplastic anemia - 70%
- Secondary acquired aplastic anemia - 10%-15%
CD34+ cells have increased expression of Fas receptors that mediate apoptosis and increased expression of apoptosis- related genes
Acquired Aplastic Anemia
present at an earlier age and may have characteristic physical stigmata
Inherited Aplastic Anemia
Inherited Aplastic Anemia
- Fanconi Anemia
- Dyskeratosis Congenita
- Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond Syndrome
is a chromosome instability disorder characterized by aplastic anemia, physical abnormalities, and cancer susceptibility
Fanconi Anemia
skeletal abnormalities (thumb malformations, radila hypoplasia, microcephaly, hip dislocation, scoliosis)
Fanconi Anemia
skin pigmentation (hyper-/hypopigmentation, cafe-au-lait lesions)
Fan coni Anemia
short stature, abnormalities of the eyes, kidneys, and genitals
Falcon anemia
low birth weight and developmental delay
Fanconi Anemia
characterized by mucocutaneous abnormalities, bone marrow failure, and pancytopenia
Dyskeratosis Congenita
triad of abnormal skin pigmentation, dystrophic nails, and oral leukoplakia
Dyskeratosis Congenita
multisystem abnormalities: pulmonary fibrosis, liver disease, developmental delay, short stature, microcephaly, prematurely gray hair or hair loss, immunodeficiency dental carries, periodontal disease.
Dyskeratosis Congenita
is an inherited multisystem disorder characterized by pancreatic insufficiency, cytopenia, skeletal abnormalities, and a predisposition for hematologic malignancies
Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond Syndrome
a rare disorder of erythropoiesis characterized by a selective decrease in erythrocyte precursors in an otherwise normal bone marrow
PURE RED CELL APLASIA
Acquired Pure Red Cell Aplasia
Transient Erythroblastopenia of Childhood
the acquired form of PRCA in young children
Transient Erythroblastopenia of Childhood
Congenital Pure Red Cell Aplasia:
Diamond-Blackfan Anemia
a congenital erythroid hypoplastic disorder of early infancy
Diamond-Blackfan Anemia
approximately half of patients have: physical anomalies (craniofacial dysmorphisms, short stature, neck and thumb malformations)
Diamond-Blackfan Anemia
