Hemolytic Anemia: What is this?

A

Premature destruction of erythrocytes results in the liberation of hemoglobin form the erythrocytes into the plasma. Released hemoglobin is converted in large part to bilirubin.

A

Intrinsic Factor

84
Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Those with Pernicious Anemia develop a

A

smooth, sore, red tongue and mild diarrhea.

Extremely pale particularly in the mucous membranes

Become confused more often and presthesias in the extremities

85
Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Assessment: Serum levels in both vitamins can be

Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Assessment: You should measure folate in the

A

RBC

87
Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Assessment: Useful test to test for B12 would be

A

88
Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Medical Management: Folate deficiency treated by

A

increasing amount of folic acid in the diet and administering 1 mg of folic acid daily

89

90
Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Medical Management: B12 deficiency is treated bby

A

91
Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Nursing Management: Assessment inludes

A

inspection of the skin, mucous membranes and tongue.

Mild jaundice may be present

92
Q

Hypoproliferative Anemias, Megaloblastic Anemias, Nursing Management: Neurologic assessments includes

A

testing of positions, virbation sense, and cognitive function

93
Q

Hemolytic Anemias: What happens here?

A

Erythrocytes have a shortened life span thus their number is circulatoin is reduced. Erythropoietin released from kidney which stimulates the bone marrow to compensate by producing new erythrocytes and releasing some into cirulation prematurely.

If continued to be broken down, majority of heme converted to bilirubin

94
Q

Hemolytic Anemias: All types of hemolytic anemia share what lab values?

A

Reticulocyte count elevated,

Fraction of indirect bilirubin increased.

Supply of Hapotoglobin (binding protein for free hemoglobin) is depleted.

95
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease: Can cause severe

A

hemolytic anemia that results from inheritance of the sickle hemoglobin gene(HbS) which causes it to be defective

96
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease: Hemoglobin of RBC akes on what appearance?

A

Sickle or “s” shape and then cannot pass through vessels. This can cause clotting , pain, sickle cell crisis

97
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease: What can cause this to happen?

A

When venous level in the blood is low enough. If exposed to adequate oxygen before membrane becomes too rigid, it will revert to nromal shape.

98
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease: What can aggravte the sickling process?/

A

Cold because vasoconstriction slows the blood flow.

99
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease: HbS gene inhereited in people of

A

African desent and peole form Middle east, Mediterranean and aboriginal tribes in India.

100
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Clinical Manifestations: Symptoms of SCD vary and are somewhat based on

A

102
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Clinical Manifestations: Chronic Anemia is associated with

A

tachycardia, cardiac murmurs and often an enlarged heart. Dysrhythmias and heart failure may occur

103
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Clinical Manifestations: Patients with SCD are usualyl susceptible to

A

infection, particularly pneumonia and osteomyelitis.

104
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Clinical Manifestations: COmplcations include

A 
Infection
Stroke 
Kidney Injury
Impotence
HF
Pulmonary HYpertension
105
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Acute Vaso-Occlusive: What is this?

A

Type of sickle cell crisis. Results from entrapment of erythrocytes and leukocytes in the microcirculation, causing itssue hypoxia, inflammation and necrosis due to inadequate blood flow to a specific region

106
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Acute Vaso-Occlusive: What cacn further happen here?

A

Endothelium of the vessel becomes dysfunctional and vasculopathy develops

107
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Aplastic Crisis: What is this?

A

Results from infection with the human parvovirus. Hemoglobin level falls rapidly and marrow cannot compensate

108
Q

Hemolytic Anemias, Sickle Cell Disease, Sequestration Crisis: What is this?
