Q

What is Methemoglobin?

A

Hb with iron in ferric (Fe+++) state instead of usual ferrous (Fe++) state -normal low levels of Hi maintained by NADH dependent methemoglobin reductase system -treatment is methylene blue (reduces Hi to Hb)

23
Q

Elevated zinc protoporphyrin

A

Iron deficiency anemia Anemia of chronic disease Lead poisoning

24
Q

Elevated free erythrocyte protoporphyrin

A

Iron def anemia Anemia of chronic dx Lead poisoning

25
Q

Conditions associated with arterial thrombosis

A

Lupus anticoagulant, HIT and hyperhomocysteinemia

26
Q

What molecule is inappropriately high in anemia of chronic disease?

A

Hepcidin, this inhibits iron export from macrophages and enterocytes resulting in functional iron deficiency

27
Q

What supports a diagnosis of anemia of chronic disease versus iron deficiency anemia

A

Elevated serum ferritin

28
Q

Causes of intravascular hemolysis

A

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (DIC, HUS, TTP, HELLP) Complement fixation in RBC surface (ABO incompatibility, PNH, PCH) Mechanical heart valves Snake venom Infection (malaria, Vanessa, clostridium)

29
Q

Heinz body composition

A

Insoluble hemoglobin inclusion

30
Q

Pentad of TTP

A

Thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, neurological abnormalities, renal dysfunction and fever

31
Q

Defect in Glanzmann thrombasthenia

A

decreased or defective GPIIb/IIIa (fibrinogen receptor) resulting in defective platelet aggregation

32
Q

ashkenazi jew with major bleeding after GU surgery

A

Factor XI deficiency

33
Q

The following symptoms are typical of what factor deficiency: bleeding from umbilical stump, poor wound healing, hypertrophic scars.

A

Factor XIII deficiency Dx with urea clot lysis assay

34
Q

38
Q

Which type of von willebrand disease is due to missense mutatino in vWF exon 28?

A

Type II N

Mimics hemophila A

40
Q

Which type of von willebrand disease has virtually no vWF?

A

Type III

frameshift, nonsense or deletion mutation in vWF gene
