problem with intrinsic hemolytic anemia
problem with RBC
problem with extrinsic hemolytic anemia
problem outside RBC
what % of RBC destruction is extravascular (normal conditions)
80%
what % of RBC destruction is intravascular (normal conditions)
10 to 20%
what will happen to unconjugated/indirect bilirubin during excessive extravascular hemolysis
increase
what will happen to urobilinogen during excessive extravascular hemolysis
increase
extravascular hemolysis: end product heme
bilirubin
where does extravascular hemolysis occur in the body
spleen or liver
what will be increased in urine during excessive extravascular hemolysis
urobilinogen
what is present in the blood vessels when RBCs are lysed intravascularly.
free Hb
what does free Hb cause in the urine
hemoglobinuria
T or F: free Hb is not toxic
F
what happens to the kidney when free Hb goes there
it loses iron
what blood protein binds to free Hb
haptoglobin
haptoglobin/hemopexin ____ when intravascular hemolysis increases
decreases
what pathological processes can cause an increase in intravascular hemolysis
sickle cell disease, hemolytic transfusion rxns, and sepsis
what causes gallstones in severe anemia
the super saturation of bile
what is a symptom of hereditary spherocytosis
gallstones
def? decrease urine production
oliguria
def? no urine production
anuria
what causes methemoglobinuria in severe anemia
increased amount of methemoglobin in the blood
describe the retic count, HCT, RBC count in hemolytic anemia
reticulocyteosis, decreased HCT, decreased RBC count
what happens to LDH and HbA1C values during accelerated RBC destruction
increased
what is another name for intravascular hemolysis
fragmentation
what is another name for extravascular hemolysis
macrophage mediated hemolysis
what test help differentiate between intra and extravascular hemolysis
- haptoglobin
- free hb
what is seen on the PBS of intravascular hemolysis
schistocytes
what is seen on the PBS of extravascular hemolysis
spherocytes
disease?
- polychromasia
- spherocytes
- nRBCs
hemolytic anemia
what will hemolytic anemia cause the BM to look like
erythroid hyperplasia
what are the RBC ezymopathies of hemolysic anemia
G6PD def and PK def
what type of hemolytic anemia is hereditary spherocytosis (HS)
chronic
how are spherocytes formed
vertical mmb protein def
how does hereditary spherocytosis get inherited
autosomal dominant
what RBC mmb protein are involved with vertical mmb interactions
- spectrin
- ankyrin
- band 3
what are the clinical features of HS
anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly, and gallstones
HS: ____ MCHC, ____ retic count, direct antiglobin test _____, _____ haptoglobin, ____ LDH, and ____ unconjugated bilirubin test
increased, increased, neg, low, high, increased
immune hemolytic anemia will always have a ____ direct antiglobin test
pos
treatment for HS
splenectomy or blood transfusion
what happens to osmotic fragility in HS
increased
what happens to target cells osmotic fragility
decreased
when spherocytes are present EMA will be _____ because _______ mmb proteins are mutated
decreased, vertical
how is hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) inherited
autosomal dominant
what is the severe form of HE called
hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP)
how are elliptocytes formed
horizontal mmb proteins are mutated
what are the horizontal RBC mmb proteins
cytoskeleton, alpha-spectrin, beta-spectrin, or protein 4.1
symptoms of HE
most people are asymptomatic
how can you tell if someone is autosomal homozygous for HE
100% elliptocytes in PBS
how is HPP inherited
autosomal recessive
what other disease has a similar PBS to HPP
thermal burns
why will MCV be low in HPP
RBC fragments present
RBC from HPP pt will be very sensitive to what
heat
how are stomatocytes formed
defect with pump on RBC mmb
how is hereditary stomatocytosis inherited
autosomal dominant
is paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria acquired or inherited
acquired
what gene is mutated with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
genes that code for CD55 and CD59
what is the normal function of CD55 and CD59
protect RBC against compliment system
