hem onc Flashcards
normal MCV
70-90
range of alpha thal
missing one - silent
missing two - asymptomatic with mild microcytic hypochromic anemia
missing three - hgb H disease (hgb Barts as nbn) –> tx with splenectomy
missing four –> hydrops, stillbirth (or intrauterine transfusions –> BMT)

beta thal major
F only on NBS
thickened bone due to extramedullary hematopoeisis
complications of beta thal major
cholelithiasis
hemochromatosis
how long to tx iron def anemia
until 2 months after hgb normalizes (to replenish stores)
anemias with high RDW
iron deficiency and lead toxicity
anemia with normal/low RDW
thalassemias
ringed sideroblast
lead poisoning vs sideroblastic anemia
free erythrocyte protoporphyrin
elevated in lead poisoning and iron deficiency
normal in thalassemia
why should you correct folate and B12 deficiency together?
if you only correct folate, could get reversible neuro damage
