25
what are monocytes
- bean shaped - phagocytic - in conn tissue differentiate into macrophages
26
what are neutrophils
PMN - most numerous of WBC - ameoboid in the tissues and function in phagocytosis, first line of defense
27
what are eosinophils
-increase during allergic reactions
28
what are basophis
-increases vascular permeability during inflammation so that the phagocytic cells can pass into the area
29
what are plateles
- formed element, no nucleus | - active in blood clotting mechanism
30
what is anemia
-reduction of the hemoglobin concentration, the hematocrit or the number of RBC to a level that is below normal
31
as a result of anemia what is diminished
oxygen carrying capacity to the cells-
32
anemias are classified by what
cause
33
what is anemia caused by blood loss
- acute- blood loss from trauma or disease | - chronic- internal leison with constant slow bleeding usually of GI or gyne origin
34
what is anemeia cause by increased hemolysis
- hereditary hemolytic disorders | - acquired hemolytic disorder
35
what is an example of a hereditary hemolytic disorders s
sickle cell disease
36
what are examples of aquired hemolytic disorders
from drugs infections, and certain physical and chemical agents
37
what is antibody mediated anemia, erythroblastosis fetalis
occurs when a mother is Rh- negative
38
what is erythroblastalis fetalis also known as
hemolytic disease of the newborn
39
what are 2 types of anemia cause by diminished production of RBC
nutritional deficency, bone marrow failure
40
what is nutritional defeciency in anemia
- inadequate intake or dietary choices - ex:pernicious anemia- vit B12 absorbtion deficiency - iron deficency anemia
41
what is an example of bone marrow failure in anemia
-aplastic anemia
42
what is aplastic anemia
-combination of anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia occurs which leads to a decrease in all cells formed in the bone marrow
43
what is the most prevalent anemia? second most?
iron deficency | anemia of chronic dieseases
44
when does anemia of chronic diseases occur
in pts with acute or chronic immune activation, pts. have low reticulocyte count, underprod of RBC
45
what is an example of an anemia caused by genetic blood disorders
thalassemia
46
What is thalassemia characterized by
absent or decreased production of hemoglobin
47
Is thalassemia inheritied? who does it effect the most?
-yes, mediterranean, african, middle eastern, south east asian descent
48
what is the most severe form of thalassema
thalassemia major (cooley's anemia)
49
what is tx for thalassemia
- transfusions - folic acid - bone marrow trans is cure during childhood - steme cell transplant
50
what are the general signs and symptoms of anemia
``` -pale thin skin weakness, fatigue, easy fatigability dyspna on slight exertion, faintness dimness of vision, headache, vertigo, tinnitus brittle nails ```
51
what is iron deficiency anemia
hypochromic microcytic anemia, hemoglobin deficient, blood corpuslces are smaller than normal
52
what can develop as a result of chronic iron deficency
plummer-vision syndrome
53
what are the causes of iron deficency anemia
- malnutrition/adsorbtion - chronic infection - increased demand - chronic alcoholism - chronic blood loss - internal bleeding - excessive menstrual flow - frequent blood donations
54
what are the signs and symptoms of iron deficency anemia
- general weakness, headache, pallor | - fatigue on slight exertion
55
what are oral signs and symptoms of iron deficency anemia
- pallor of mucosa - tongue changes- atrophic glossitis - secondary irritations to thinned mucosa, may result from smoking, trauma, hot spicy foods - angular chelitis - increased risk of angular chelitis
56
What is tx for iron deficiency anemia
- oral ferrous iron - folic acid - nutritional counseling - liquid preps for children may stain teeth
57
what are megablastic anemias
- abnormally large RBC | - result from deficiency of B12, folate or both
58
what are the principle types of megoblastic anemai
- pernicious anemia | - folate deficency anemia
59
what are B12 and folate essential for
RBC prod in bone marrow
60
what is pernicious anemia caused by
-decreased intake, increased requirement, impaired absorbtion of B12
61
what is pernicous anemia due to deficiency of intrinsic factor
failure of production of intrinsic factor, necessary for B12 adsorbtion
62
what age do you see pernicious anemia in
over 40 years of age
63
Is the childhood form a of pernicious anemia is there a gastric abnormality
no
64
what are the general clinical findings of pernicious anemia
- fatiuge, weakness, tingling, numbness of fingers and toes
65
what are CNS system involvement clinical findings of pernicious anemia
- dizziness, confusion, hypotension - sever parathesia - dimmed vision, abdominal pain, weight loss
66
what are the oral clinical findings of pernicious anemia
- tongue- atrophic glossitis, pain, inflammed, flabby, red, smooth, shiny - sensitivity to hot or spicy food - painful swallowing - gingiva and mucosa pale, atrophic
67
what is the tx of pernicous anemia
-B12 injections 2x week then monthly
68
what is folate deficiency anemia-
like pernicous anemia, no CNS involvement
69
what are the etiologic factors of folate deficiency anemia
- decreased intake- inadequeate diet or adsorbtion - increased requirement- pregnancy, cancer, tobacco, pts who take alot of asprin or antacids, drugs that impair utilization of folate
70
what are dietary sources of folate
-fresh fruits, green leafy veggies -liver, kidney -dairy products, whole grain cereal -
71
what is folate deficiency most frequently related to
-malabsorbtion rather than inadequate intake
