Drugs for Blood Cell Deficiency (Part 01) Flashcards
It is the production of erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes from undifferentiated stem cells.
Hematopoiesis
A common clinical condition that is caused by an acquired or hereditary abnormality of RBC or its precursor, or it may be the manifestation of an underlying non-hematologic disorder.
Anemia
Deficiency of Iron
Iron Deficiency Anemia
A condition in which the bone marrow produces unusually large, structurally abnormal, immature RBCs. Results from deficiency either of Vit B12 or Vit B9.
Megaloblastic Anemia
A deficiency in RBCs caused by lack of Vit B12 in the blood.
Pernicious Anemia
A blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin.
Thalassemia
A disorder in which RBCs are destroyed faster than they can be made.
Hemolytic Anemia
An inherited RBC disorder in which there aren’t enough healthy RBC to carry oxygen throughout your body.
Sickle Cell Anemia
An abnormal type of hemoglobin that you can inherit from your parents.
Hemoglobin S
A condition that occurs when the body stops producing enough new blood cells.
Aplastic Anemia
A condition in which the body don’t have enough platelets. These cells in your blood are responsible in hemostasis.
Thrombocytopenia
These are highly specialized precursor cells that produce and release platelets into the circulation.
Megakaryocytes
A glycoprotein hormone produced by the liver and kidney which regulates the production of platelets. It stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that bud off large numbers of platelets.
Thrombopoietin
It occurs when the neutrophils decreases in the body.
Neutropenia
These are important for fighting certain infections, especially those caused by bacteria.
Neutrophils
