Heme/Onc Flashcards
elevated direct bilirubin is suggestive of
liver process that slows secretion of bilirubin into bile or bile into the intestine
elevated indirect bilirubin is suggestive of
increased hemolysis, decreased conjugation (gilbert)
treatment of von willebrand disease
desmopressin (DDAVP)
normal coags, prolonged bleeding from mucosal surfaces
von willebrand disease
MC inherited bleeding disorder
von willebrand disease
describe hyperacute transplant rejection
minutes to hours, irreversible, due to preformed abs
what mediates an acute transplant rejection
humoral/t-cell mediated
red cells in TTP
schistocytes
fibrinogen in DIC
decreased
treatment for TTP
supportive, plasma exchange, steroids
pathogenesis of DIC
thrombin excess
pathogenesis of TTP
endothelial defect
when is vancomycin added in neutropenic fever
suspected skin/soft tissue infect, pneumonia, catheter releated infection, hemodynamic instability
MC of infectious neutropenic fever
bacteria
fever in neutropenic fever
fever >100.9 once, fever >100.4 sustained for >1 hr
when is pt at greatest risk for neutropenic fever
7-14 days after chemo
leading cause of cancer death
infection
JAK2 mutation
polycythemia vera
mechanism of an acute hemolytic reaction
rapid hemolysis of donor red cells from host antibodies
management of acute hemolytic reaction
fluids, stop transfusion, diuretics to maintain UOP 1-2ml/kg/hr
immunocompromise, rash, pancytopenia, increased LFTs after blood transfusion
GVHD
management of supratherapeutic INR <10
omit next 1-2 doses and recheck INR
treatment of ITP with platelet <10,000
steroids and IVIG
treatment of ITP with platelet 10,000- 20,000 and avitce bleeding
steroids and IVIG
ITP with platelet >20,000
no treatment
heinz bodies
G6PD deficiency
inheritance of G6PD deficiency
XLR
mechanism of TTP
inhibition of ADAMTS13 which usually breaks down clots so microthrombi end up circulating
lab findings of DIC
elevated PT/PTT increased bleeding time decreased fibrinogen increased fibrin split products thrombocytopenia schistocytes
