Hematology Polansky Review Flashcards
Erythropoesis
1-2 mos gestation
yolk sac and gonads, primative erythroblasts
3-6mos gestation erythropoesis
liver and spleen, Liver is primary site
7mos - age 4 erythropoesis
bone marrow, all marrow active
Adult erythropoesis
bone marrow, pelvis vertebrae, sternum and skill, long bones filled with fat
Rubriblast
pronormoblast
proubricyte
basophilic normoblast
rubricyte
polychromatophilic normoblast, last stage to divide
metarubricyte
orthochromic normoblast
last nucleated stage
reticulocyte
poly erythro, seen with supravitial stain
pH 8.6 hgb electrophoresis
A2/C, S, F, A
(crawl, slow, fast, accelerated)
pH 6.2 hgb electrophoresis
F, A/A2, S, C
Methemoglobin
iron oxidized to ferric state, can’t bind 02 cyanosis, death,
Heinz bodies
Sulfhemoglobin
sulf bound to heme, aquired from drugs/chem
cyanosis, cant be converted back
carboxyhemoglobin
carbon bound, decreased O2 to tissues, affinity 200x greater
cherry red skin
Macrocytes
megaloblastic, liver disease, retics, normal in newborns
microcytes
IDA, thalassemia, ACI
Elliptocytes/ovalocytes
membrane defect, HE
Crenated cells
osmotic imbalance
Burr cells (echinocytes)
membrane defect, uremia, PK def
Acanthocytes
membrane defect, severe liver disease, abetalipoproteinemia
Teardrops (dacryocytes)
myelofibrosis, thalassemias
hypochromia
IDA, thalassemia
Target cells
hgbop, thalassemia, liver disease
Stomatocytes
HS, HS, thalassemia, RH null, alc cirrhosis
Rouleax
serum protein abnormality, MM macrogolbulinemia
Basophilic stipping
RNA aggregates, lead, abn hgb synth
HJ bodies
DNA remnents, pitted by spleen, post splenectomy, hemolytic anemias
Cabot rings
mitotic spindle, fragments, rapid blood regen, MBA, thal, splenectomy
pappenheimer
iron, faulty iron utilization, SBA, Post splen, thal, hemochromatosis
Reticulocytes
residual RNA
Heinz bodies
precipitated, oxidized hgb, G6PD, chemical injuries
Hemoglobinopathy
qualitative abnormality, abnormality in amino acid sequences
(ex. sickle cell, hgb c..etc)
Thalassemia
quantitative abnormality, under production of 1 or more globulin chains
(B-thal minor)
Folate Deficiency
n
m
h
impaires?
pan
increases?
nutritional deficiency, megaloblastic, HA, impaires DNA synth
pancytopenia, Increase LD
Vit B12 dEF
Megaloblastic, nutritional def, malab, parasites
pernicious anemia most common type
Sideroblastic anermia
defect in heme synth, dual RBC pop, rbc indicies normal, ringed sideroblasts
B-thal major
dec betal chain production,
micro hypo
B-thal minor
mild anemia, micro hypo,
Anemia of chronic inflammation
Micro hypo, AFR affect iron absorbtion, iron in bone marrow not released, 2nd most common
Promyelocyte
primary (nonspecific) granules
myelocyte
specific granules, last stage to divide
MPN/MPD
overproduction of 1 or more myelod cell lines, increased RBCs, 1 cell line dominant
(ex PV, CML)
myelodysplastic syndroms (MDS)
ineffective hematopoesis in 1 or more cell lines, hypercellular bone marrow
common in elderly
Myeloperoxidase
+ AML
= ALL
