22
Q
  • Requires intrinsic factor from gastric mucosal cells which binds with B12
    allowing it to be absorbed in the ileum.
  • Normally large stores take a long time to be depleted, even years.
  • The most common cause of deficiency is faulty absorption because of Crohn’s
    disease or ileal resection.
  • Inadequate intake is more common in strict vegetarians if care isn’t taken to
    prevent this.

Q

the RBC’s have a shortened lifespan which decrease
the number of circulating cells.
* The lower levels of RBC’s stimulate erythropoietin release and thus the
release of more cells, many of which are immature reticulocytes

tissue hypoxia and necrosis. Most common type. Very
painful.

A

sickle crisis

34
Q

infection with human parvovirus
* Bone marrow cannot compensate and Hgb drops rapidly

A

aplastic crisis

35
Q

organs pool the sickled cells.
* Most commonly the spleen, and most children with sickle cell
anemia have splenic infarction by age 10
* In adults the organs involved may be the liver or lungs.

A

sequestration crises

36
Q
  • Hereditary anemias with hypochromia,
    extreme microcytosis, hemolysis, various
    degrees of anemia.
  • Highest prevalence in Mediterranean,
    African and Southeast Asian ancestry
  • Treated with transfusion of RBCs, bone
    marrow transplant
A

thalassemia

37
Q
  • Is a disease where the patient has peripheral blood pancytopenia
    (decrease in all blood cell types including RBCs, WBCs, and platelets) with
    hypocellular bone marrow
  • Can be a chronic condition that is medically managed with erythropoietin
    or blood transfusions
  • Can also be a critical condition leading to hemorrhage and sepsis
A

aplastic anemia

38
Q
  • Reduction in platelets
  • Acute, severe, or prolonged reduction may result in abnormal hemostasis
    with prolonged bleeding after minor trauma or spontaneous bleeding
    without injury (Lewis, 2019, p. 731).
  • Can be inherited or acquired
A

thrombocytopenia

39
Q
  • Uncommon syndrome
  • Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neurological abnormalities, fever
    without infection, and/or renal abnormalities may be present
  • Primarily in adults 20 – 50 years with slight female predominance
  • May be idiopathic (autoimmune)
  • May be caused by certain drug toxins, pregnancy, or infection
  • Medically emergency bleeding and clotting occurs at the same time
A

thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura

40
Q
  • Most common acquired thrombocytopenia
  • Destruction of circulating platelets
  • Hence, it is an autoimmune disease
  • Platelets are covered with antibodies. Platelets that reach the spleen function normally
    however, platelets in circulation are seen as foreign and destroyed by macrophages.
  • Platelets usually live 8-10 days but in ITP platelets last approximately 1-3 days
A

immune thrombocytopenia purpura

41
Q

is a risk that is associated with broad and increasing use of heparin
* Thrombocytopenia develops 5 – 10 days after initiating heparin therapy
* should be suspected if platelet count falls below 50%
* DVT and PE most common complication that occurs from thrombus formation
* Arterial vascular infarcts with skin necrosis, stroke, and organ damage may also occur

A

heparin induced thrombocytopenia

45
Q
  • Factor IX deficiency
A

hemophilia B

46
Q

a serious bleeding and thrombotic disorder that results from the
abnormal accelerated clotting and anticlotting process that occurs in
response to disease or injury (Lewis, 2023, p. 724).
* Profuse bleeding occurs due to the depletion of platelets and clotting
factors
* An underlying condition or disease is always the etiology

A

51
Q

arises from myeloid stem cells

A

myelogenous leukemia

52
Q

a broad term associated with a group of malignant diseases
that affect blood and blood-forming tissue of the bone marrow, lymph
system, and spleen

A

leukemia

53
Q
  • Proliferation of immature hematopoietic cells
  • Malignant transformation and cellular replication of the malignant clone
    occurs
A

57
Q

a disease in which the bone marrow makes too many white
blood cells (leukocytosis). It is a slowly progressing blood and bone
marrow disease that usually occurs during or after middle age, and
rarely occurs in children.

chronic lymphocytic leukemia

61
Q

Occur as a result of abnormal overgrowth of one type of lymphocyte
Differ from leukemias in the degree of maturation of the affected cells and
the location of cell production
* Proliferation of lymphocytes, not stem cells
* Proliferation doesn’t occur in bone marrow but in other lymphoid
tissues especially lymph nodes & spleen
* Solid tumors rather than suspensions of cells in blood & bone marrow
