Hemolymphatics Flashcards
Name common degenerative diseases of bone marrow
- myelofibrosis
- serous atrophy of fat “gelatinous transformation of fat”
Describe the mechanism for development of myelofibrosis
- Scar formation after necrosis
- High concentration of growth factors with marrow injury or activation
- Idiopathic
Causes of myelofibrosis
- leukemia
- infiltrative metastatic neoplasia
- BVDV, E. canis, FeLV
- sepsis
- drugs/toxins
- irradiation
- chronic hemolytic anemia
cause of Serous Atrophy of Fat “gelatinous transformation”
emaciation/starvation
causes of regenerative anemia
hemorrhage
hemolysis
causes of nonregenerative anemia
bone marrow insult:
Infectious
Toxins
Medications
Estrogens
Chronic kidney disease (decreased erythropoietin)
Fe deficiency
Cancer
Know the expected bone marrow response for regenerative vs non-regenerative disease
regenerative - erythroid hyperplasia
nonregenerative - erythroid hypoplasia/ aplasia in BM
regenerative anemia abnormalities with hemorrhage
Fe deficiency anemia
↓ plasma or serum protein concentrations
↑ BUN relative to creatinine (GI bleed)
regenerative anemia abnormalities with hemolysis
icterus
hyperbilirubinemia
hemoglobinuria
splenomegaly
aplastic anemia in dogs & cats
Antimicrobial agents & chemotherapeutic agents
estrogen (dogs only)
phenylbutazone
aflatoxin B
Ehrlichia
parvovirus/panleukopenia
FeLV/FIV
aplastic anemia in horses
phenylbutazone
aflatoxin B
EIA
aplastic anemia in cattle & sheep
bracken fern
trichloroethylene
aflatoxin B (cattle)
List 2 infectious diseases that can cause immune-mediated thrombocytopenia
- Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA)
- Ehrlichiosis
List 4 causes of non-neoplastic lymphocytosis in dogs and cats
Epinephrine (cats)
age/antigenic stimulation (cats)
Chronic inflammation
Ehrlicia canis infection
Thymoma – paraneoplastic lymphocytosis
Hypoadrenocorticism
Hyperthyroidism (cats)
acute leukemia expression & clinical signs
CD34
pancytopenia, pale mm, BM highly cellular, splenomegaly, LN involvement, infiltrates organs
poorly differentiated, worse prognosis
most common chronic leukemia in dogs
CD8 lymphocytosis (T cell)
CD21 lymphocytosis (B cell)
most common chronic leukemia in cats
CD4 lymphocytosis (T cell)
clinical signs of chronic leukemia
incidental lymphocytosis
anemia
cytopenias not present
splenomegaly
lymphadenopathy
highly cellular BM
List negative prognostic indicators in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
boxers sig shorter survival
high lymphocyte count > 60,000 sig shorter survival
higher Ki-67 worse survival
benefits of flow cytometry
Distinguished homogeneous from heterogeneous expansions
Identifies aberrant antigen expression
prognostic info
List 3 clinical abnormalities that can be seen with multiple myeloma
- hyperglobulinemia
- hypercalcemia (due to osteolysis)
- pancytopenia
- monoclonal gammopathy, osteolysis, light chain proteinuria
purpose of serum electrophoresis for multiple myeloma
identify monoclonal gammopathy
List infectious diseases that can have thymic lesions
parvovirus
canine distemper virus
FIV
EHV-1
BVDV
PCV-2
describe thymic involution
follows sexual maturity
lymphoid and epithelial components are replaced by adipose and c.t.
describe thymic hypoplasia
neonates with immunodeficiency
which virus causes thymic inflammation & has the description “thymus atrophy to granulomatous inflam with multinucleated cells with cytoplasmic viral inclusions”
PCV-2 “postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome”
