Chapter 23 hematology Flashcards
anemia
decrease in the number of erythroctes
decreas in the quality of oxygen transferred
dehydration =
hemoconcentration
fluid retention=
hemodilution
cause for anamia
impared erythrocyte production
decrease in the erythrocyet production
acute/ chronic blood loss
combination of the above
classiied based on
- their shape, size or substance
cause
clinical manifestation of anamia
fever
fatoque
pallor
trachycardia
dyspenia
hyotension
macrocytic megaloblastic anamia
large stem cellas that mature into erythrocytes that are large in size
1. Pernicious anamia
2. folate deficiency anamia
pernicious anamia is caused by
decreased in VB12
clinical maniufestations
- weakness
-fatique
- difficulty in walking
- abdonmianl pain
- loss of appetite
- sour smooth beefy tongue
- weight loss
Folate deficiency anamia
caused by the deficiency of falic acid
clinicalmanifestation
- same as pernicious
- more GI symptoms
-stomatitus and ulcrs of mouth
- cheritosis= scales and fissures of mouth
Microcytic hyperchromatic anamia
causes iron deficiency anemia
iron deficiency is caused by
loss of blood
- increased demand for iron
- problems with absorption
clinical manifestation of iron
fatigue = nails become spoon-shaped
pallor = dry sources of the mouth
dyspnea( shortness of breath)=red sour punctured tongue
Leukocytes = white blood cells
function affected if there are too many or too few WBC
- normal WBC count is 4500-11000
Leukocytosis
is a high WBC count
- normal protective physiologic response to physiologic stressors
Causes of leukocytosis
invasion of pathigens
- emotional stress
-Temperature change
leukopenia
decrease in WBC count
not normal or beneficiation
predisposes to infections
leukopenia cause
- radiation
- shock
- autoimmune disease
- immunodeficiency
- medications
neutrophilia
immature neutrophils are realeased from the bone marrow when there is an infection
neutropenia
decrease in circulating neutrophils
cause
- prolonged severe infection
- decreased production of neutrophils
- abnormal neutrophils distribution
reduced survival;
infectious mononucleosis
acute self-limiting infection of B-lymphocytes
Pathology and clinical manifestation of Infectious mononucleosis
Patho
- Epstein-Barr virus affect the B-lymphocyte
- atypical lymphocytes develop
- immunocompetent (self-limiting acute viral infection)
immunocompromised ( uncontrolled proliferation of B-cells can occur)
Clinical Manifestation
-fever
-sore, swollen throat (pharyngitis)
- fatigue
-enlargement of spleen and liver
- lymphadenopathy: swollen cervical lymph nodes
-splenic rupture caused by spleen enlargement
Leukemia
-a malignant disorder of blood and blood-forming cells
Patho
- overcrowding of bonemarrow
- excessive proliferation of malignant cells
classified into two
- Acute
- chronic
Acute Leukemia
sudden onset
undifferentiated cells
- Acute myelogenous leukemia
- too many myelogenous or lymphoblastic that are to WBC - Acute lymphocytic Leukemia
- too many immature WBC in the Blood marrow
