Q

Which two hematologic disorders can be treated with IVIG

A
  • ITP (Immune thrombocytopenic purpura)
  • Immune hemolytic anemia
  • Immune mediated RBC or platelet destructions can be treated with IVIG. Whole idea is that Ig is sacrificed against destruction, preventing RBC or platelet from immune mediated destruction

Renal cell carcinoma resulting in polycythemia

  • plasma volume
  • O2 saturation
  • RBC mass
  • EPO
A
  • plasma volume: NL
  • O2 saturation: NL
  • RBC mass: increased
  • EPO: increased

cancer cells producing tons of EPO, secondary inappropriate polycythemia

Define each and explain under what disease this happens

  • Hb Barts
  • HbH
  • increased HbF
  • increased HbA2
A
  • Hb Barts: gamma 4, 4 alpha gene deletions

90
Q

Which drug may lead to excessive bleeding (and excessive increased in INR) when given with warfarin? by what mechanism?

A

TMP-SMX

This binds to albumin and replaces warfarin bound to albumin, releasing free warfarin. Thus more warfarin activity

  • sketchy: photographer girl is bleeding excessivley
91
Q

Is target cell seen in alpha thalassemia?

A

YES.

generally target cell is seen with all beta globulin problems (sickle cell, HbC) as well as liver disease and asplenia.

I originally thought that only beta thalassemia can show target cell, but no. ALL THALASEMIAS INCLUDING ALPHA can also show target cells.

CLL (CD5 and CD 20 positive) can progress to what another type of lymphoma?

A

diffuse large B cell lymphoma

93

How CLL may result in anemia?

A

It can result in autoimmune hemolytic anemia, cold IgM

*think in this way: CLL is naive B cell leukemia (CD 5 and CD 20), so it may somehow produce cold IgM antibody?

  • Howell-Jolly bodies

- target cell
