Hematology Flashcards
microcytic anemias (4)
IDA
sideroblastic
thalassemias
anemia of chronic dz
lead poisoning
normocytic anemias are divided into (2)
hemolytic
non hemolytic
intrinsic hemolytic anemias (5)
hereditary spherocytosis
g6pd
puruvate kinase deficiency
ssa
hbc dz
extrinsic hemolytic anemia
autoimmune hemolytic anemia
macrocytic anemias are divided in to
megaloblastic
non megaloblastic
megaloblastic macrocytic anemias (4)
folate deficiency
b12 deficiency
copper deficiency
drugs
non megaloblastic macrocytic anemias
etoh
liver dz
work up for microcytic anemia (3)
ferritin
iron
TIBC
work up for normocytic anemias (3)
coombs
iron
bilirubin
work up for macrocytic anemias (2)
RBC folate
B12
only anemia with elevated TIBC
IDA
what does “basophilic stippling” make you think of
lead poisoning
4 infxns associated w. anemia
4 infxns associated w. extrinsic hemolysis
osteolmyelitis
HIV
mycoplasma
EBV
type of anemia associated w. bone marrow malignancy
normocytic
lab findings associated w. intrinsic hemolytic anemia (4)
increased reticulocytes
positive coombs
spherocytosis
decreased haptoglobin
labs associated w. extrinsic hemolytic anemias (3)
cold agglutinins
increased: LDH, K+, bilirubin
decreased haptoglobin
what does spherocytosis make you think of
g6pd deficiency
3 causes of extrinsic hemolysis
cold agglutinins
autoimmune
mechanical destruction
3 causes of mechanical destruction extrinsic hemolytic anemia (microangiopathic hemolysis)
TTP
HUS
DIC
hemostatic problems are divided into (2)
primary
seconday
describe primary hemostatic problems
weak platelet plug -> mucocutaneous bleeding
describe secondary hemostatic problems
problems w. coagulation factors -> deep tissue bleeding
sx of primary hemostatic problems (4)
-petechiae
-anterior epistaxis
-immediate post op bleeding (ex tooth extraction)
-mucosal, gingival, GI, vaginal bleeding
sx of secondary hemostasis (5)
-large bruises
-deep tissue hematomas
-hemarthrosis
-posterior epistaxis
-persistant bleedig post op (ex ICH)
problems w. hemostasis are caused by decreased (3)
PLT number
PLT fxn
clotting factors
primary hemostasis disorders (5)
von willebrand
bernard-soulier
glanzmann thrombasthenia
uremic PLT dysfxn (CKD)
meds: NSAIDs, clopidogrel
secondary hemostasis disorders (5)
anticoagulant use
hemophilia
cirrhosis
vit K deficiency
DIC
labs associated w. primary hemostatic problems
prolonged PT
prolonged PTT
_ is elevated in bleeding from warfarin
_ is elevated in bleeding from heparin
warfarin: PT
heparin: PTT
what factors are decreased in von willebrand dz
von willebrand
VIII
hemophilia is classified in to
A: VII
B: IX (christmas)
lab findings associated w. hemophilia
prolonged aPTT
normal PTT
normal PLT
three presentations of hemophilia in peds
-excessive bleeding from circumcision
-cephalohematoma during delivery
-hemearthrosis when walking starts
3 conditions where you see prolonged PT and PTT
liver cirrhosis
vitamin K deficiency
DIC
lab findings of DIC
everything out of whack:
-elevated PT, PTT
-decreased PLT
-(+) schistocytes
-smear: microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
pediatric brain tumors to know mc -> lc (4)
astrocytoma
medulloblastoma
ependymoma
retinoblastoma
5 yo w. occipital HA, ataxic gait, nystagmus, papilledema
astrocytoma
mc primary childhood CNS tumor
astrocytoma
sx of brain tumors are mc related to
increased ICP:
morning HA
vomiting
lethargy
t/f astrocytomas are often benign
t!
sx of astrocytoma based on location
cerebellum: weakness, tremor, ataxia
visual pathway: vision loss, proptosis, nystagmus
spinal cord: pain, weakness, gait disturbance
dx for brain tumors
MRI
bx
which type of astrocytoma has the best prognosis
posterior fossa
