LESSON 3: PATHOLOGY OF HEMOPOIETIC SYSTEM Flashcards
indicated variable shaped rbc in circulation & reresent an admixture of abnormally shaped rbc
poikilocytosis
red cells w/ 3-12 spicules of uneven length & disorder in lipid metabolism
acanthocytes
occur in fibrotic states of the marrow, hemolytic anemia & result of certain drugs. Origin is in removing red cell inclusion
dacryocytes
developed from excess membrane or decrease in hemoglobin that result in in a relative membrane increase,
codocytes
codocytes is associated with?
hemoglobinopathies
iron deficiency anemia
obstructive liver disease
cirrhosis
seen in which membrane is increased following a decrease in hemoglobin
leptocyte & microcytes
results from premature released of red cells usually in period of erythropoietic stress like in hemolytic anemia & hyperthyroidism
macrocytes
results from membrane damage & usual mechanism involves trapping of red cells in the circulation by fibrin
schizocytes
schizocytes are common in
vascular disease
disseminated intravascular coagulation
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
this indicates red cells w/ increased central thickness & is recognized in peripheral blood smears by high staining of centers of cell w/ pale staining periphery, nit truly spherical until prior to lysis
spheroccytosis
what are the major causes of spheroccytosis?
- membrane depletion
- accelerated red cell aging
- immunohemolytic anemia
this indicates red cells w/ variable form from spherical to almost red-like in circulation
elliptocytosis
disorder of red cell mass can be defined as?
hematologic alterations
polyctheimia indicates an increased in red cell mass & appropriately called
erythrocytosis
is defined as reduction below normal of the number of red cells or hemoglobin concentration / unit volume
anemia
what are the 3 general causes of anemia?
- blood loss
- rbc destruction or lysis
- decreased rbc production
indicates hemorrhage or hemolysis, the hallmark of this is reticulocytosis except in horses which is evident as olychroma on a routinely stained blood smear.
regenerative anemia
what is the major causes non-generative anemia?
hypoplasia & aplasia
where does rbc & leukocyte arise from?
pluripotential hematopoietic cells
this comprises the leukocytes carried in the circulation
circulating pool
comprises the leukocytes that are present at the periphery of blood vessels
marginal pool
leukocytes which are present at the bone marrow awaiting for differentiation & release, including lymhoid tissues such as lymph nodes & spleen
marrow pool
bone marrow produces:
- platelets
- erythrocytes
- granulocytes
- monocytes
- bursa equivalent of b. lymphocytes
increased production of various cell lines which occurs frequently in response to demands or changes the other parts of the body,
Hyperplasia
refers to the general reduction in the amount of cells produced in the bone marrow that are in circulation. This response is generally that of marrow aplasia.
Pancytopenia
what are the viral disease that causes marrow depression?
- parvovirus enteric infection (dogs & cat)
- female leukemia virus infection
- erhlichiosis
what are the drugs that causes marrow depression?
- phenylbutazone
- estrogenic drugs
- phytotxicities
is the abnormal proliferation of fibroblast in the marrow cavity
myelofibrosis
is a term used of to describe the metastasis of neoplastic cells to the bone marrow.
myelopthisis
