hematology Flashcards
CLL
most common
smudge cells
hallmark- isolated lymphocytosis, w/ a leukocytosis >20,000
CML
philidelphia chromosome (BCR-ABL)
hallmark- leukocytosis w/ median wbc of 150,000
tx- imatinib mesylate (gleevec)
AML
auer rods
ALL
most common in kids
multiple myeloma
rouleaux formation (rbc stack like coins)
bence jones proteins
malignancy of plasma cells prod abundance monoclonal paraprotein ( m protein)
pancytopenia
hypercalcemia
light chain components can lead to renal failure
sickle cell anemia
howell jolly bodies
G6PD
heinz bodies
lead poisoning
basophillic stippling
microcytic anemia
prussian blue staining of bone marrow shows sideroblasts
tx- chelation tharpy
Schistocyte (helmet)
TTP
DIC
heart valce
target cells
thalassemia
bite cells
g6pd
anisocytosis
cells w/ different size
iron deficiency
microcytic anemia
TICS thalasemia iron deficiency chronic disease sideroblastic (lead poisoning)
normocytic
hemolysis renal failure hypothyroid liver disease chronic disease cancer
macrocytic
b12
folate
hemolysis
alpha thalasemia
defect in alpha production
more common in chinese
beta thalasemia
defect in beta chain prod
more common in mediteranian and african
thalasemia vs iron deficiency vs chronic disease
iron- low iron, high tibc, low ferritin
chronic disease- low iron, low tibc, high feritin
thalasemia= normal/high iron, normal tibc, normal ferritin, elevated LDH (more microcytic then others (60))
