multiple myeloma

26
Q

tx for multiple myeloma

A

stem cell transplant
triple therapy (steroid, Proteasome inhibitor, immunmodulator)

27
Q

what is needed for definitive diagnosis of multiple myeloma

A

plasmacytosis (clonal plasma cell) >10% via marrow aspiration

28
Q

term for disorders of proliferation w/ differentiation

A

myeloproliferative d/o

29
Q

myeloproliferative d/o of too many WBC

30
Q

myeloproliferative d/o of too many RBCs (high Hct,Hg)

A

polycythemia vera

31
Q

myeloproliferative d/o of too many platelets

A

essential thrombocythemia (ET)

32
Q

myeloproliferative d/o of too many stromal tissue

A

myelofibrosis

33
Q

how do you tx polycythemia vera (3)

A

1 reduce Hct w/ phlebotomy

hydroxyurea
thrombosis prevention

34
Q

3 disorders that cause cause high platelets

A

essential thrombocytopenia
iron deficiency
inflammation

35
Q

tx of essential thrombocytopenia (ET) (2)

A

reduce platelet count w/ hydroxyurea
thrombosis prevention

36
Q

which d/o would have massive splenomegaly w/ teardrop on blood smear?

A

myelofibrosis

37
Q

out of the myeloproliferative d/o, which have the worst prognosis?

A

myelofibrosis

38
Q

how is myelofibrosis tx?

A

address blood counts w/ transfusions, hydroxyurea, etc
stem cell transplant

39
Q

dimorphic cells or abnormal morphology cells on smear is indicative of what?

40
Q

how is aplastic anemia different from MDS?

A

they both cause pancytopenia but aplastic anemia won’t have abnormal cell morphology or chromosomal abnormalities
aplastic anemia usually has a trigger

hypoxia
dehydration
sleep apnea
smoking
tumors that secrete erythropoietin

abnormal clotting
abnormal bleeding
erythromelalgia (burning sensation in hands)

43
Q

etiology of CML vs CLL

A

CML– too many WBC being made; marked leukocytosis
CLL– no normal apoptosis of B lymphocytes
both are often asymptomatic

44
Q

4 lab values with AML

A

low Hg
low Plts
high WBC
OR pancytopenia
