Heme Onc Flashcards
Iron def treatment (kids and adols)
iron elemental 3-6 mg/kg/day in kids
adolescents 325mg daily / BID
physiologic nadir of HCT/Hb in baby
2 mos
How to distinguish Thal trait from Fe def?
thal trait: all RBC are very small so very small MCV and RDW is normal. MArked discrepancy between Hgb and MCV.
Proportional MCV/Hgb in iron def
Normal MCV:
80
1-4 year old with very low Hgb and no retic, with normal MCV
Dx and Tx?
Transient Erythroblastenia of Childhood (TEC)
No treatment needed
progressive, normochromic, macrocytic anemia in infancy or early childhood with some congenital anomaly / growth failure?
Dx
Tx
Diamond Blackfan anemia - bone marrow has no erthroid precursors
Tx: steroids, pRBCs, stem cell trp
transmission of hereditary spherocytosis?
Exam finding?
Tx needed
autosomal dominant
Splenomegaly, may need splenectomy after 5y
need folate supp
chronic stable hemolysis w/ exacerbations, runs in family, MCHC is HIGH
Hereditary Spherocytosis
Periph smear showing RBC agglutination in what type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia?
Cold IgM autoimmune HA
Direct Coombs shows what?
presence of Ab on RBCs
Warm vs cold autoimmune anemia?
Warm: IgG: bad, occurs at body temp, splenomegaly
Cold: IgM: Liver, good.(usu from mycoplasma, HIV, or mono)
hypochromasia and microcytosis in mild anemia, maybe scattered target cells should lead you to consider what?
thalassemia (less hemoglobin per RBC because decreased hemoglobin produced)
Thalassemia and iron?
expect increased GI absorption of iron, and get iron overload even w/o transfusion in severe thal
Hb A2 made of what and when do you see it?
alpha 2 and Delta 2: No B2…
Hb A has what?
normal: two alpha and two beta
alpha 2 + gamma 2 is what type of hemoglobin?
Fetal.
cure for thal major
BMT
four gamma chains called what and what is the disorder? what do they get in older yrs?
in nweborn you get 4 gammas because no alpha: alpha thal (Barts), as they get older and beta chains mature, you get B4: Hb H
Hemoglobin H disease?
In who?
What is the defect?
This is alpha thal with Asians
variable phenotype with mild/moderate hypochromatic, microcytic anemia
Also liver / spleen issues
Hemoglobin C disease?
Sickle cell
Hb SS
Hb SC
Hb S beta thal + dz
Most severe?
Hb SS. No Hb A present. A2 and F are normal, no excess alpha chains
Shortest life expectancy: 40s
S beta thal null disease course?
severe, No Hb A, incr A2 and F, Looks very similar to SS
WHat is dactylitis and what may it be found in?
swelling of hands / feet, may be first manifestation of sickle cell
weird bug in sickle cell osteomyelitis?
salmonella
lusaback merritt
hemangioma and low plts (consumed by hemangioma)
bernard soulier
GP1b def causing congenital qualitative plt defect
Fibrinogen in DIC and tx?
low, give cryo
purpose of WinRHo (Anti-D) in ITP?
for Rh+ kids w/ ITP, trick spleen into causing mild HA and attacking RBC to leave plts alone
Evans vs ITP
Evans has autoimmune attack of MORE than one cell line. ITP ONLY plts
% of ITP w/ chronic disease, and who?
20%, usu females, infants, adol
splenectomy % success in chronic ITP
only 70%… may be liver hemnolysis
platelet trf in ITP?
NO, unless ICH
chemo causing clots?
Aspariginase
PT/aPTT/plts in hemophilia and vwfD
PT normal in both
PTT long in both
plts normal in both
Diagnosis of vWF?
vwF Ag quant: < 40%
ristocetin qualitative test
check FVIII and plt function screen
most common type of VFW?
Tx
Type 1, tx w/ DDAVP, OCP, AMicar
dx in life threatening bleeding from umb stump but normal PT and PTT
Factor 13 def
incidental long aPTT but no bleeding, may clot.
Factor 12 def
tumors w/ dissem LAD?
ALL, NHL, Neuroblastoma
what stage IV disease can have an ok long term control
Stage IV Hodgkins nodular sclerosing type in teen
most important prognostic factors in Neuroblastoma,
also what?
age and stage, also n-myc
labs in tumor lysis syndrome?
Who is most at risk
Hi K, Hi Uric Acid, high phosphate, low Calcium (gets bound)
Most in new ALL or Burkitt
aplastic anemia vs ALL
if pancytopenic from aplastic anemia - no LAD, no HSM
Two tumors to screen for in Beckwith Weidemann
Wilms, Hepatoblastoma
tumor causing proptosis
rhabdomyosarcoma (NOT retinoblastoma)
mediastinal mass in teen, most likely?
Hodgkins
Abdomen vs chest for ALL B or T cell?
abdomen B cell
Thorax/ChesT: T cell
Where doesn’t neuroblastoma met to?
lung
peripheral smear in sickle cell?
Target, Howell-Jolly *splenic destruction, sickled cells, microcytes
what do you look for if you have a right sided Wilms?
US of IVC and heart (can infiltrate up into the heart!)
Cisplatin causes what tox
ototoxicity
bleomycin causes what tox?
pulm fibrosis
