FINALS: Nonmalignant Granulocytic Disorders Flashcards
Redistribution of the blood pools cause a short-term increased in the total WBC count and in the absolute number of neutrophils in the circulating granulocyte pool.
Shift/physiologic/pseudoneutrophilia
Caused by exercise, stress, pain, pregnancy
Shift/physiologic/pseudoneutrophilia
It is not a response to tissue damage. The total blood granulocyte pool in the body has not changed.
Shift/physiologic/pseudoneutrophilia
The bone marrow has not released immature neutrophils. There are no toxic changes. And there is ______ to the left.
no shift
Neutrophils leave the circulating pool, enter the marginating pool, and then move to the tissues in response to tissue damage
Pathologic neutrophilia
In pathologic neutrophilia, bone marrow reserves are _____ to replenish the circulating pool and ______ production of neutrophils to replenish reserves.
released
increases
Occurs in response to bacterial and the other infections, tissue destruction, drugs or toxins, growth factor, etc.
Pathologic neutrophilia
Blood picture mimics that seen in chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Neutrophilic leukemoid reaction (NLR)
Benign, extreme response to a specific agent of stimulus
Neutrophilic leukemoid reaction (NLR)
In neutrophilic leukemoid reaction (NLR), the WBC count can _____ to between 50.0 and 100.0×〖10〗^9/L, and there is a ______ with ______ changes to the neutrophils.
increase
shift to the left
toxic
Characterised by having the presence of immature leukocyte and immature (nucleated) erythrocytes in the blood
Leukoerythroblastic reaction
Occurs in marrow replacement disorders, such as myelofibrosis
Leukoerythroblastic reaction
Decrease in absolute number of neutrophils
Neutropenia
Due to bone marrow production defects chronic or severe infection depletes available neutrophil reserves. Use exceed bone marrow production
Neutropenia
____ causes neutrophils to be removed from circulation
Hypersplenism
Neutropenia can be cause by one of the ff:
bone marrow injury (aplastic anemia),
bone marrow infiltration (leukemia, myelodyplastic syndromes or mestatistic cancer),
bone marrow suppression by chemicals or drugs (chemotheraphy)
Neutropenia can be cause by DNA synthesis defects due to
vitamin B12 or folate deficiency
Increase in the absolute number of eosinophils
Eosinophilia
Associated with parasitic infections, allergic reactions, chronic inflammation
Eosinophilia
Associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia, including early maturation stages, Hodgkin disease, tumors
Eosinophilia
Decrease in the absolute number of eosinophils
Eosinopenia
Seen in acute inflammation and inflammatory reactions that cause release of glucorticosteroids epinephrine
Eosinopenia
Increase in the absolute number of basophils
Basophilia
Associated with Type I hypersensitivity reactions
Basophilia
Associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia, including early maturation stages, polycythemia vera
Basophilia
Associated with relative transient basophilia can be seen in the patient on hematopoietic growth factors.
Basophilia
Decrease in the absolute number of basophils associated with inflammatory states and following immunologic reactions
Basopenia
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) : Nitroblue Tetrazolium Test (NBT) is _________ inheritance with the ratio of affected males to females being 6:1
both sex-linked and autosomal recessive
In Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) : Nitroblue Tetrazolium Test (NBT), granulocytes are morphologically _______, but functionally ______ because of enzyme deficiency that results in an inability to degranulate, with causes inhited bactericidal function.
normal
abnormal
Characterised as an autosomal recessive disorder that causes large, gray-green, peroxidase positive granules in the cytoplasm of leukocytes; abnormal fusion of primary and secondary neutrophilic granules
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
In Chédiak-Higashi syndrome, cells are morphologically ______ and functionally _______ leukocyte; WBCs unable to degranulate and kill invading bacteria
abnormal
abnormal
Patients will present with photophobia and skin hypopigmentation (ALBINISM)
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
Characterised by normal random activity but characterized by abnormal chemotactic/directional activity
Job’s syndrome
Characterised by abnormal random activity and abnormal chemotactic activity
Lazy Leukocyte Syndrome
Hereditary hypersegmentation of neutrophil – autosomal dominant trait: _______
UNDRITZ Anomaly
Acquired hypersegmentation of neutrophil is associated with_______ anemia due to vitamin B_12 or folic acid deficiencies
megaloblastic
_______ refers to a tendency in neutrophils to have 1 or 2 lobes; may indicate an anomaly or a shift to the left.
Hyposegmentation
