FINALS - ANEMIA P2 Flashcards
Anemia due to mechanical extracorpuscular abnormality
- Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA)
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) - Traumatic cardiac hemolytic anemia
is a group of clinical disorders characterized by RBC fragmentation
in the circulation resulting in intravascular hemolysis
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA)
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA)
fragmentation occurs as a result of:
RBCs passing through fibrin deposits inside the lumen of
arterioles and capillaries
damaged epithelium and vessel walls
Lab findings of Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA)
anemia (low hgb, hct), presence of
schistocytes
MAHA is characterized by schistocytes or also called as
helmet cell
4 Disorders/conditions of MAHA:
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)
Disseminated Intravascular coagulation (DIC)
hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet levels (HELLP)
is rare and potentially fatal characterized by disseminated
thrombotic occlusions of the microcirculation.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
Ecchymosis largest
purpura - 2nd to the largest
petechiae - 3rd
true or false
true
caused by deposition of microthrombi that contain platelets
and von Willebrand factor in arterioles and capillaries of many
organs can be found commonly in adults and can be seen also in children
but rare
thrombi - clots
von willebrand factor - adhesion
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)
severe microangiopathic anemia caused by E. coli serotype ___
0:157 H7
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) difference to TTP
same thrombocytopenia (dec platelets)
both chance of bleeding
renal failure is only for HUS
causes of Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)
renal failure
thrombocytopenia (dec platelets)
mucocutaneous hemorrhage
Lab findings of HUS
schistocytes, gastroenteritis (bloody diarrhea,
develops after 1-3 days), affected and kidney
Characterized by a widespread activation of the hemostatic
system, once it was activated it results into fibrin and thrombi
formation, kaya merong pagbara
Disseminated Intravascular coagulation (DIC)
is Disseminated Intravascular coagulation (DIC) as well a secondary complication?
yes
a condition of MAHA that is a very serious complication during pregnancy
hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet levels (HELLP)
anemia is caused by injury and fragmentation RBCs exposed to high shear stresses on a foreign surface during cardiac surgery
Traumatic cardiac hemolytic anemia/ Macrovascular
hemoglobinuria
Lab findings of Traumatic cardiac hemolytic anemia/ Macrovascular
hemoglobinuria
presence of schistocytes, inc. reticulocytes, dec.
platelets, inc. LDH (Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in
nearly all living cells
cardiac surgery nagkakaron ng hemolysis, magiging normal after the surgery
Traumatic cardiac hemolytic anemia/ Macrovascular
hemoglobinuria
MARCH HEMOGLOBINURIA is also known as
Sports anemia
Sports anemia, wherein there is a destruction of RBC due to
o Extreme Training
o Marching for many hours
Laboratory findings of
MARCH HEMOGLOBINURIA
o Destruction of RBC/Schistocytes
o Decrease Hct and Hgb
o Macrocytic: Tea colored urine
o Increase in Retics
ANEMIA DUE TO INFECTIONS
- malaria
- Babesiosis
- Bartonellosis (Carrion disease)
- Erlichiosis
Acute, chronic or recurrent febrile protozoan infection
transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheles
mosquito.
malaria
Can cause anemia by the rupture of infected cells at the
end of the asexual cycle
Malaria
Amount of hemolysis is related to the number of RBC
parasitized by the plasmodium
Malaria
Medication for malaria
quinine
Laboratory findings of Malaria
i. Decrease survival rate of RBC (Does not
reach 120 days)
ii. Spherocytosis
An uncommon hemolytic disorder caused by protozoan
babesia microti
Babesiosis
It can the transmitted either from deer, mice to humans
by vector (Ixodes dammini) or blood transfusion
Babesiosis
Babesiosis treatement
Clindamycin
Caused by B. bacilliformis transmitted by the sandfly
Bartonellosis (Carrion disease)
Two clinical stages of Bartonellosis (Carrion disease)
Oroya fever
Veruga pernuana
Oroya fever AKA ___
Autoimmune hemolytic
anemia or AHA
