Exam 3 Topic 1 Blood Flashcards
Nutritional Anemia
Not enough iron or Folic acid
Iron is needed for Hb synthesis
Folic is needed for Thymine synthesis
Leads to lower RBC
Pernicious Anemia
Intrinsic Factor (IF) in stomach breaks down B12, parietal cells that produce IF are damaged
B12 is needed for thymine development
Autoimmune, ulcers and excessive alcohol can damage parietal cells preventing release of IF
Aplastic Anemia
Bone marrow does not produce enough blood cells
Marie Curie died from this
Kills progenitor cells
Renal anemia
Decreased production of RBC in the kidneys
Bone marrow is not stimulated to produce RBC
Hemolytic Anemia
Increased breakdown of RBC
From infections, malaria, autoimmune, hereditary( sickle cell anemia)
Hemorrhagic Anemia
Blood loss, menstruation, child birth
Polycythemia
Abnormally high RBC fix?=bleed replace with saline
Primary cause: increased RBC in bone
Secondary: increased Erythropoietin
Relative: decreased plasma volume (dehydration)
Plasma
Liquid cell free part of blood WITH COAGULATION CELLS
yellow bc of breakdown of RBC
55% of blood
Has Albumins, Globulins, Fibrinogen, used to treat Clotting Disorders
Serum
Liquid part of blood after coagulation, no Fibrinogen
Serum plasma-fibrinogen
Used for blood typing
Pre-Hepatic Jaundice
Before liver-excess hemolysis, overwhelms liver (malaria)
Death of a RBC process (heme route)
RBC
hemoglobin
heme
Iron (Fe++) {requires addition of transFerin)
or
unconj Bilirubin {requires addition of Albumin]
Blood
LIver
Death of a RBC process ( globin)
RBC
hemoglobin
Amino Acids
Blood
Liver
Iron broken down in Marcophages in spleen produces what
unconjugated billirubin
What do Hepatocytes in the liver do?
unconjugated billirubin is added to glucaronic acid and becomes conjugated bilirubin
(what makes urine yellow)
Hepatic Jaundice
increased conjugated and increased unconjugated billirubin
liver damage leads to compromised uptake and excretion
