Hematology Flashcards
bite cells, blister cells, heinz bodies (denatured hgb, super vital stain) what disease process is this?
G6PD deficiency
Antibodies attack ADAMTS13 so that it loses its function and big, uncut vWB factor (ULVWM) clogs the microvasculature. This causes clotting issues and sheer stress.
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
What globulin chains do adults have?
2- alpha
2- beta
What globulin chains does the fetus have?
2- alpha
2- gamma
Rare disorder of the erythrocytes membrane. The defect makes the cell abnormally sensitive to lysis of complement.
PNH (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria)
Large platelets, decreased plts, Dohle bodies in segs.
May-Hagglin anomoly
Large purpulish granules in cytoplasm incompletely degraded mucopolysaccharides.
Alder-Riley
Causes recurrent bacterial infections and the WBCs have bluish-gray inclusions.
Chediak-Higashi
Condition where there is a chronic sustained leukocytosis and all stages of cell maturation are seen?
Myeloproliferative Disorders
CD13 and CD33
Myeloid cells
CD41 and CD61
Megakaryoblasts
Calculate MCV
HCT/RBC x 10
Calculate MCH
HGB/RBC x 10
Calculate MCHC
HB/HCT x 100
What cells is increased in bacterial infections?
Neutrophil
What cell is increased in viral infections?
Lymphocyte
Calculate WBC
of cells counted x (1/0.9) x dilution factor
Calculate hematocrit
hgb/rbc
t(15:17)
APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia)
t(9;22) philadelphia chromosome
bcr/abl fusion gene
CML (chronic lymphocytic leukemia)
t(8;21)
AML
Expected RBC indicies in a patient with rouleaux?
RBC decreased
MCV, MCHC increased
Blasts that stain with myeloperoxidase and specific esterase are in what lineage?
myleocytic
Retic reference range?
0.5-1.5%
IDA, Chronic disease/inflammation, lead poisoning and Thalassemia Trait fall in what anemia classification?
Microcytic/hypochromic
B12, pernicous anemia and malabsorption/dietary, folate deficiency, liver disease/alcholism fall under what anemia classification?
Macrocytic
This macrocytic anemia with have decrease B12, oval macrocytes, hypersegemented polys, H-J bodies?
B12 deficiency
If a paient is suspected to have PA what test should be run?
Anti-IF factor (positive), MMA (methymalonic acid), homocystine
Antibody mediated anemia showing nornmocytic/normchromic anemia include what disease processes?
PCH
Cold agglutinin Disease
Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Anemia caused by these diseases is due to a membrane defect:
Herediatry spherocytosis
Hereditary Elliptocytosis
PNH
Anemia due to an enzyme deficiency:
G6PD (heinz bodies)
PK (no heinz bodies)
Anemia due to decreased production of EPO or loss, dry tap during bone marrow, hypocellular bone marrow, decreased retics and pancytopenia:
Aplastic anemia
Acute blood loss
Chronic renal failure
A cytokine produced that increases production of platelets?
TPO
Patients with this genetic disorder are sometimes partial albino:
Chediak Higashi
What represents the biochemical composition of pappenheimer bodies?
Iron
