Heme/Onc Boards Flashcards
Med study review for heme and onc sections
What is Wisckott-Aldrich?
X-linked; thrombocytopenia with small plts, eczema, immunodeficiency
What is TAR syndrome?
thrombocytopenia with absent radii (nml thumbs); high risk for bleeding in neonatal period due to plts < 30k
common medical history ass’d with ITP
recent viral illness or immunization (within past 1-6 wks)
blood smear findings in ITP
megathrombocytes
giant platelets on blood smear
Bernard-Soulier
blood counts in ITP
low plt, nml Hgb, nml WBC
bone marrow findings in ITP
normal to increased megakaryocytes
1st line tx of ITP
IVIG
TTP cause
ADAMTS13 antibodies
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome
destruction of plts in vacsular tumors (hemangioma) of the skin, liver, or spleen; aka hemangioma- thrombocytopenia syndrome
clinical features of vWD
AD; mild to moderated bleeding in mucosal surfaces or with procedures, heavy menses.
lab eval for vWD
decreased vWF antigen with proportional decreased in Factor 8 activity, decreased activity measured by ristocentin cofactor assay
treatment for vWD
DDAVP, aminocaproic acid, transexamic acid
thombocytopenia, abnormal platelets than do not aggregate in response to ristocetin but do aggregated in response to ADP, epi, or collagen
Bernar-Soulier syndrome
nml plt count, poor plt aggregation in response to ADP, epi, and collagen
Glanzamann Thrombasthenia
differentiate primary hemostatic problem from coag problem
1 = petechiae, coag = deep bleeds (hemearthrosis)
prolonged PT, nml PTT
aqu or ihn F 7 problem, milk vit K def, mild liver dz, therapeutic warfarin
