Q

why is anemia associated with chronic inflammation seen in chronic renal failure

A

the kidneys do not produce erythropoietin so that can lead to chronic anemia

28
Q

incidence of sickle-cell

A
  • in the us seen mostly if blacks
  • 7-13% chance of having trait
  • .7% chance of having disease
29
Q

etiology of sickle cell disease

A

-Abnormal S hemoglobin which reacts to decreased O2 and dehydration. under normal conditions, no problems exist

30
Q

under what conditions does sickle cell cause problems

A
  • hypoxia (infections)
  • high altitude
  • exercising
  • flying in unpresssurized airplanes
31
Q

how does O2 play a role in sickle cell

A

when o2 concentration decreases, the RBC become sickled, non-flexible and stiff

32
Q

when sickle cells become sickled, what happens

A
  • occluded BV
  • increased viscosity
  • increased deoxygenation and infarction and pain
33
Q

when do sickle cells go back to normal

A

regain normal shape when reoxygenated and rehydrated

34
Q

when do clinical manifestations of sickling happen

A

until 6 months

35
Q

clinical mani of sickling

A
  • pallor
  • fatigue
  • jaundice
  • irritability
36
Q

what is vasoocclusive crisis

A

may occur if extensive sickling

-begins in micro circulation-log jam occurs causing thrombosis and tissue infarction if not corrected (severe pain)

37
Q

mani of vvasoocclusive crisis

A
  • painful swelling of jts, hands, feet
  • abdominal pain
  • enlarged liver and spleen due to RBC breakdown
38
Q

how long does a crisis last

A

4-6 days

39
Q

when does a crisis improve

A

with rehydration and reoxygenation

40
Q

anemia classified as macrocytic-normochromic

A

pernicious anemia

41
Q

macrocytic- normochromic

A
  • large abnormal RBC

- normal hemoglobin

42
Q

cause of pernicious anemia

A
  • decreased gastric secretion of intrinsic factor (absent) leads to malabsorption of vitamin b-12
  • decreased VB-12 leads to decreased erythrocyte production
  • the RBCs are abnormal and large (they die and that causes anemia)
43
Q

when is pernicious anemia mainly seen

A

late adult life but also in congenital form (before 2 yoa)

44
Q

microcytic-hypochromic

A

iron-deficiency anemia classified as microcytic-hypochromic

45
Q

iron deficiency anemia

A

lack of iron for hemoglobin production

-most common type of anemia

46
Q

cause of iron deficiency enemia

A
  • continual blood loss

- insufficient dietary intake (most common anemia 6mo-2years because of increased iron needed for growth)

47
Q

stage one of iron def. anemia

A

body’s store of RBC are depleted

48
Q

stage 2 of iron def. anemia

A

insufficient iron, altered RBC’s are produced

49
Q

stage III iron def. anemia

A

hypochromic RBC’s put into circulation

50
Q

when do mani of iron def. anemia occur

A

develop slowly in stage III

51
Q

clinical mani of iron d anemia

A

-Children: pica, decreased growth or developmental delays

52
Q

hemophilia

A

genetic disease caused by deficiency of blood clotting factors essential for forming a clot

53
Q

factor 8 hemophilia A

A

classic hemophilia and most common type

  • X linked, recessive
  • occurs in males
  • passed on by females
54
Q

factor 9 hemophilia B

A

Christmas disease

  • x linked, recessive
  • less sever than HA
55
Q

vactor 11 hemophilia C

A

autosoma recessive, least severe type

56
Q

clinical mani of hemophilia

A
  • symptoms infrequent in first year of life
  • start seeing at age 3-4
  • may notice excessive bruising and bleeding when starting to walk or run
  • hemoarthrosis
  • recurrent bleeding after injury, minor trauma
57
Q

hemoarthrosis

A

hallmark of hemophilia

-into elbows, knees, ankles

58
Q

SE of hemoarthrosis

A

causes pain, limits movement, predisposes to degeneritive changes in joints

59
Q

leukemia

A

malignant disease of blood and blood-forming organs causing an accumulation of dysfunctional cells and loss of cell division regulations

60
Q

when is leukemia common

A
  • most common childhood cancer (33%)

- adults after 50+ in chronic form

61
Q

acute leukemia

A

-cell immiture (blast)

62
Q

onset of acute leukemia

A

rapid and abrupt

63
Q

survival time for acute leukemia

A

time may be short

64
Q

acute makes up what % of childrens leukemia

A

50%

65
Q

acute myelogenous (aml)

A

common adult type of acute leukemia

66
Q

chronic leukemia

A

cell mature but doesnt function normally

67
Q

onset of chronic leukemia

A

gradual, longer survival

68
Q

chronic lymphocytic

A

common adult type of chronic leukemia

69
Q

etiologies of keukemia

A
  • unknown
  • recur in families (2-4x if sibling has)
  • increased association with other genic abnormalities such as downs, fanconi syndrome
  • acquired disorders such as hodgkins, mm
  • CLL, CML may cause acute leukemias
  • larg edoses of ionizing radiation may cause myelogenous leukemia
  • drugs which cause bone marrow depression may predispose person to leukemia
  • high doses of chemo for hodgkins, mm and ovarian cancer may cause acute myelogenous leukemia
  • viruses cause leukemia in animals but not proven in humans yet
