Echinocyte formation Flashcards
What are acanthocytes
excess cholesterol vs phospholipids
liver disease
young goats
Keratocytes
iron deficiency anemia
liver disorder
Stomatocytes
artifact in thick blood film
Basophilic stippling
diffuse pattern
Aggregates of ribosomes
Lead toxicity
Regenerative anemia
Nucleated erythrocytes
metarubicytes and rubicytes regenerative anemia Lead toxicity marrow injury splenic dysfunction
Marrow injury not anemic
septicemia
endotoxic shock
drugs
Marrow diseases with nonregenerative anemia
myelodysplasia
heamoopoietic neoplasims
Spherocytes
Immune mediated hemolytic anemia in dog
snake bites/bee stings
Zon toxicity
transfusion of stored blood
Lysed erythrocytes
in vivo hemolysis membranes rapidly cleared
in vitro hemolysis
smudged cells
Schistocytes
Fragmented cells
DIC in dogs
iron deficiency and a bunch of other things
Howell jolly bodies
low numbers in horses and cats
Increased in regenerative anemia
Splecectomy
Glucocorticoids
Heinz bodies
use new methylene blue
Howell Jolly vs. Heinz
Heinz-pale pink only with new methylene blue basophilic
Howell Jolly- basophilic on both wright-giesma and new methylene blue
Heinz bodies in small animals
splencectomy
onion and garlic ingestion
moth balls
acetamimophin
Heinz bodies in large onions
Kale, onion, red maple leaves, copper toxicity, winter rye
Infectious agents of erythrocytes
BABBBEESSIAAAAAA
rickettsial organisms
Mycoplasmal organisms
Distemper
Eccentrocytes
Oxidant injury
acetomenophin
onions
Oxidative injury
Environment
Hemoglobin: methemoglobin and Heinz bodies
Membranes: increased phagocytosis or intravascular hemolysis
Methemoglobin test
Spot test
Color of blood will be darker
causes of methemoglobinemia
oxidant drugs
hereditary erythrocyte methemoglobin reductase deficiency
Clinical signs of methemoglobinemia
decreased exercise, lethargy, coma
