Midterms Flashcards
Anemia characterized by increased destruction of RBCs and decreased erythropoiesis
Hemolytic anemia
Causes of intrinsic hemolytic anemia
Hemoglobinopathies
Membranopathies
Enzymopathies
Examples of hemoglobinopathies associated with intrinsic HA
Sickle cell anemia
Thalassemia
Condition in bone marrow due to high production of RBCs
Erythroid hyperplasia
Proteins involved in hereditary spherocytosis
Band 3
Ankyrin
Spectrin
Proteins involved in hereditary elliptocytosis
Protein 4.1
Spectrin
Protein for anion transport
Band 3
Connects band 3 and ankyrin
Protein 4.1
Protein of primary cytoskeleton
Spectrin
Proteins for flexibility of cell membrane
Actin
Tropomyosin
Protein 4.1
Cause of intravascular HA
Synthetic heart valve
Enzymopathies in HA result to
Splenomegaly
Heinz bodies
Bite cells
G6PD is part of what pathway
HMP (hexose monophosphate pathway)
Products of G6P + NADP rxn
NADPH + phosphogluconate
Utilizes NADPH for removal of stress oxidant (ROS)
Glutathione reductase
Normal relationship of NADPH and ROS
High NADPH, low ROS
Abnormal relationship of NADPH and ROS
Low NADPH, high ROS
Heinz bodies are stained by
Supravital stain
High ROS = ? Hb denaturation
Increased
Enzyme for ATP production
Pyruvate kinase
