heme/immuno Flashcards
Activated protein C resistance is caused by
factor V Leiden mutation, the most commonly inherited hypercoagulable disorder.
cancer pt, why are they hypercalcemic
release of PTHrp from tumor
anaphylactic transfusion reaction can be caused by
IgA deficiency
fever, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction, and neurologic changes.
TTP
TTP treatment
plasma exchange
ER tx of tumor lysis syndrome
IV fluids
tx acute rheumatic fever with severe penicillin allergy
clinda
decrease febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction by
use leukocyte reduced packed red blood cells
highest risk of hyperleukocytosis cancer process
AML
new medication causing anemia
type II hypersensitivity reaction, autoimmune hemolytic anemia
most highly associated symptom with positive biopsy for temporal arteritis
jaw claudication
lip swelling and belly pain
hereditary angioedema
which hypersensitivity and examples - IgG or IgM antibodies react with cell antigens with resultant complement activation
type II cytotoxic- autoimmune hemolytic anemia, erythroblastosis fetalis, goodpasture (requires two separate exposures)
which hypersensitivity and examples - IgG or IgM immune complex deposition and subsequent complement activation
type III immune complex - serum sickness, SLE, PSGN
activated T cells against cell surface bound antigens
type IV hypersensitivity - contact dermatitis, TB skin test, transplant rejection
rituximab can cause what kind of hypersensitivy reaction
type III, serum sickness
