50
Q

51
Q

Which anemia can convert to leukemia?

A

aplastic anemia

52
Q

What type of anemia has the following?

– Increased RBC destruction (intravascular or extravascular
– Increased erythropoiesis
– Increased iron deposition in tissues-spleen and
liver
– Some cases have pigment gallstones (from increase in bilirubin

A

Hemolytic anemia

53
Q

What are signs of intravascular hemolytic anemia on labs?

  • Haptoglobin
  • Billirubin
  • LDH
  • urine
A
  • Decreased haptoglobin
  • Increased unconjugated(indirect) bilirubin
  • Increased LDH-markedly
  • Positive urine hemosiderin and urine hemoglobin (brown urine)
54
Q

What are signs of extravascular hemolytic anemia on labs?

  • Haptoglobin
  • Billirubin
  • LDH
  • urine
A

• Normal to slightly decreased haptoglobin (not as marked as with
intravascular)
• Increased unconjugated (indirect)bilirubin-usually more than intravascular
• Normal to slightly increased LDH
• Negative urine hemosiderin and urine hemoglobin

55
Q

What is the mechanism of increased unconjugated bilirubin in hemolysis?

A

RBC contain billirubin, rbc phagocytosed by macrophage, bilirubin breakdown and separation by macrophage, unconjugated billirubin binds with albumin and goes into liver, unconjugated converts to conjugated which is then excreted out by urine and GI tract

56
Q

Explain why haptoglobin decreases in hemolytic anemia?

A

Large release of free hgb by rbc breakdown causes haptoglobin to quickly bind to it. The liver is unable to rapidly compensate for this so it ultimately decreases

57
Q

What are examples of congenital hemolytic anemia?

A
  • Enzyme def (G6P)
  • Defects of cytoskeleton (spherocytosis)
