Orotic aciduria
Mechanism of lymphopenia with GC use
Apoptosis
Neuropathy in adults and encephalopathy in kids
Lead poisoning
Defect in TTP
ADAMST13 = vWf MMP = long vWf = increased thrombosis and decreased platelet count
Macrophages present antigen via:
MHC class II
(to CD4+, think granulomas)
Cause of AIP
Defective porphobilinogen deaminase
Universal donor of blood
O-
(no antigens on RBCs)
What does hepcidin do?
Released from liver during inflammation, causing decreased iron release from intestine and macrophages –> ACD
Alpha granules of platelets
Fibrinogen, vWf
Cross-links fibrin
XIII
Orotic aciduria vs. OTC deficiency
Orotic aciduria - defective pyrimidine synthesis due to UMP synthase deficiency = high orotic acid, normal ammonia, megaloblastic anemia
OTC deficiency - defective urea cycle, high orotic acid, high ammonia, no megaloblastic anemia
Treatment of vW disease
DDAVP = increases stored vWf in endothelium
Indirect Coombs
Add normal RBCs to patients serum –> add anti-IgG –> agglutinate if patient’s serum contained IgG against RBCs (AHA)
Activates macrophages
IF-gamma
Cryoprecipitate contains:
vWf, factors VIII and XIII, fibrinogen
Which coagulation factor is carried by vWf?
VIII
Increased risk of parvo B19 crisis
SCD, beta thal major
PML (M3 AML)
(notice the fuck ton of auer rods)
Bite cell = G6PD deficiency
Sickle cell anemia
Precipitates AIP
Alcohol, starvation, phenytoin, griseofulvin, phenobarbital
Langerhans cell histiocytosis - lytic bone lesions in a kid
(S100+)
What do you give to increase clotting factors?
FFP
Two causes?
Hereditary spherocytosis
Autoimmune hemolysis
What is the “stippling” seen in lead poisoning and thalassemia?
rRNA (decreased degradation)
Treatment of PML?
ATRA - induces differentiation of myeloblasts
When does beta thal major manifest? Why?
6 months after birth - lose fetal Hb
Labs in ACD?
Decreased iron and TIBC, increased ferritin
Translocation of CML
bcr-abl, t(9:22)
Blood or tissue:
Monocyte, macrophage
Monocyte - macrophage precursor in blood
Macrophage - tissues
List the leukocytes from most to least abundant in normal blood
Neutrophil
Lymphocyte
Monocyte
Eosinophil
Basophil
bcl-2
Follicular lymphoma, anti-apoptotic oncogene
Medicinal cause of B12 deficiency
PPI’s
Diagnosis of vW disease
No agglutination of ristocetin cofactor assay
Universal recipient of blood
AB
(no antibodies)
Two pathways involved in subacute combined degeneration
Lateral CS tract
Dorsal columns
(Spasticity + defecits in vibration/proprioception; due to B12 deficiency)
Symptoms of AIP
Painful abdomen
Port wine-colored urine
Polyneuropathy
Psych disturbances
Beta thal major - marrow expansion
80% of circulating lymphocytes are:
T cells
Mast cells contain:
Heparin, eosinophil chemotactic factor, histamine
What causes Heinz bodies?
Oxidation of Hb sulfhydryl groups –> denatured Hb precipitates
CML vs. leukomoid reaction
Both have left shift
CML has low ALP, leukomoid reaction has high ALP
Hyperammonemia + orotic acidemia
OTC transcarbamylase deficiency - no urea cycle so extra ornithine converted into orotic acid
(X-linked urea cycle deficiency)
CD15+, CD30+
RS cell, Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Steps in primary hemostasis
Endothelial injury –> exposed collagen —> vWf binds collagen –> platelets binds vWf on endothelium via GpIb –> platelets release ADP –> better adherence to endothelium + upregulation of GpIIb/IIIa –> platelets bind fibrinogen
RBC pathology seen in megaloblastic anemia
Macro-ovalocyte
Treatment for sideroblastic anemia?
B6 = cofactor for ALA synthase
S100+
Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Melanoma
Schwannoma
What causes Howell-Jolly bodies?
Nuclear remnants in RBC that cannot be cleared by macrophages due to asplenia/hyposplenia
Dense granules of platelets
ATP, calcium
4 infections that can cause aplastic anemia
Parvo
HIV
HVC
EBV

Acute chest syndrome
(vaso-occlusive disease of pulmonary vasculature)
