MYELODYSPLASTIC/MYELOPROLIFERATIVE SYNDROME INTRO Flashcards
Myelo:
bone marrow
Dysplastic:
abnormal cell devt
Proliferative:
excess production of cell
Hypercellular maturation in BM → dysplasia and cytopenia of one or more cell line
MYELODYSPLASTIC
Hypercellularity → cytosis of one cell line, usually myeloid lineage (WBCs)
MYELOPROLIFERATIVE
(uncontrolled proliferation)
MYELOPROLIFERATIVE
(effective/normal hematopoiesis but overproliferation of abnormal cells)
MYELOPROLIFERATIVE
(ineffective hematopoiesis; prominent feature)
MYELODYSPLASTIC
: tissue-producing cell
dysplasia
: ↓ circulating cells
cytopenia
↓ bm that produces the cell = ↓ blood produced = ↓ circ cells
MYELODYSPLASTIC
: ↑ circulating cells
cytosis
Hypercellular: production of blood cells (plt, rbc, wbc)
MYELODYSPLASTIC
Ex. Pronormoblast doesn’t mature to a normal mature rbc
MYELODYSPLASTIC
Cell lines: erythrocytic, megakaryocytic, myelocytic
MYELODYSPLASTIC
Predomination of apoptosis
MYELODYSPLASTIC
Proliferation outpaces apoptosis
MYELOPROLIFERATIVE
Etiology: unknown
MYELODYSPLASTIC
Etiology: mutation of gene
MYELOPROLIFERATIVE
↓ cell production
MYELODYSPLASTIC
↑ cell production
MYELOPROLIFERATIVE
Dysplasia - Ineffective hematopoiesis (bm is not produced effectively or dysplastic) = cytopenic
MYELODYSPLASTIC
Proliferation - Normal (effective) but excessive hematopoiesis with hypercellularity
MYELOPROLIFERATIVE
↑ cell death
