A

Acute and chronic Blood Loss

Anemia resulting from blood loss may be caused by either acute or chronic problems

Acute blood loss occurs as a result of sudden hemorrhage

121
Q

When acute blood loss is more gradual

A
  • the body maintains its blood volume by slowly increasing the plasma volume, but then the number of RBCs is significantly diminished

Consequently, blood transfusions (packed RBCs) may be needed if the blood loss is significant.

122
Q

When anemia exists after acute blood loss…

A

When anemia exists after acute blood loss, dietary sources of iron will probably not be adequate to maintain iron stores.
Therefore oral or parenteral iron preparations are administered

Secondary polycythemia

A

is caused by other disease processes that induce hypoxia. For these, the underlying cause is treated. These include: chronic heart and lung disease, living at high altitude, sleep apnea

132
Q

RBCs and platelets are formed

A

in the marrow and released into circulation.

133
Q

lifespan of WBC

A

The life span of WBCs is relatively short; constant renewal is necessary to maintain normal blood levels.

Conditions that decrease availability of stem cells or hematopoietic growth factors produce a decrease in WBCs.

134
Q

Leukopenia deficiency of leukocytes

A

Neutropenia

Granulocytopenia

135
Q

Aplastic anemia

A

Anemia, thrombocytopenia, and agranulocytosis

136
Q

RBCs and platelets are formed in the

A

the marrow and released into circulation.

137
Q

whats is Infectious Mononucleosis

A

Self-limited lymphoproliferative disorder

138
Q

Causes and Characteristics

of infectious mononucleosis

A
  • Caused by the B-lymphocytotropic EBV, a member of the herpes virus family; transmitted in saliva
  • Characterized by fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, sore throat, and the appearance in the blood of atypical lymphocytes and several antibodies
  • Highest incidence in adolescents and young adults
    Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
139
Q

Neoplastic Disorder of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Origin

A

Represent the most important of the white cell disorders

140
Q

Hodgkin disease

A

Reed-Sternberg cells are present.

141
Q

Reed-Sternberg cells are derived

A

from B lymphocytes

142
Q

Non-Hodgkin disease

A

Reed-Sternberg cells are not present.

143
Q

Symptoms of Hodgkin Disease

A
  • Stage A
    Lack constitutional symptoms
  • Stage B (40% of persons with Hodgkin disease)
    Significant weight loss, fevers, pruritus, or night sweats

ADVANCED STAGES

  • Fatigue and anemia
  • Liver, lungs, digestive tract, and CNS may be involved.
144
Q

Categories of Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas

A
  • Low-grade lymphomas
    Predominantly B-cell tumors
  • Intermediate-grade lymphomas
    Include B-cell and some T-cell lymphomas
- High-grade lymphomas
Largely immunoblastic (B cell), lymphoblastic (T cell), Burkitt, and non-Burkitt lymphomas
145
Q

what are Leukemias

A

Malignant neoplasms arising from the transformation of a single blood cell line derived from hematopoietic stem cells

146
Q

Lymphocytic leukemias

A

lymphocytes

147
Q

Myelocytic leukemias

A

granulocytes

monocytes

148
Q

chronic leukemias

A

Malignancies involving the proliferation of well-differentiated myeloid and lymphoid cells

149
Q

Types of chronic leukemia

A
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)

- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)

150
Q 
Acute lymphocytic (lymphoblastic) leukemia (ALL)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
A
  • Both involve immature lymphocytes and their progenitors in the bone marrow, the spleen, lymph nodes, CNS, and other tissue.
151
Q

Acute myelogenous (myeloblastic) leukemia (AML)

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)

A

Both involve the pluripotent myeloid stem cells in bone marrow and interfere with the maturation of all blood cells.

152
Q

Factors Affecting the Likelihood of Achieving Remission

A
  • Age (most significant prognostic variable)
  • Type of leukemia
  • Stage of the disease at time of presentation
153
Q

Multiple Myeloma definiation

A

A plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by expansion of a single clone of immunoglobulin-producing plasma cells and a resultant increase in serum levels of a single monoclonal immunoglobulin or its fragments

154
Q

Main sites involved

in multiple myeoma

A
  • The bones and bone marrow
  • Proliferation and activation of osteoclasts that lead to bone resorption and destruction
  • Pathologic fractures
  • Hypercalcemia
