liver cell
colangiocarcinoma
metastatic adenocarcinoma
metastatic adenocarcinoma.
which of these is not associated with fatty change in the liver? hep b hep c alcohol diabetes
hepatitis B
which of these is not associated with genetic haemochromatosis cirrhosis diabetes kayser-fleisher rings myocardial damae
kayser-fleisher rings
what cell forms outer layer of glomerular filtration barrier?
podocyte.
to nearest 10% - what % of end stage renal disease is dut to AD PKD?
10% (9.4%)
what type of amyloid is formed in pt with multiple myeloma?
AL
commonest cause nephrotic syndrome in children?
minimal change disease
- see child with biopsy, treat them with steroids. if they dont get better then you do a biopsy
antibodies to phospholipase A2 receptors are associated with what form of glomerulonephritis
membranous glomerulonephritis
most oeso and gastric cancers arise from pre-existing adeonmas - T/F?
false
gastric and oeso - mainly flat pathway
coeliac disease on a diet containing gluten following is most likely histological change in due?
- villous atrophy no increase in intra-epithelial lymphocytes
- villous atrophy, increase in intra-epithelial lymphocytes
villous atrophy - increase in intra-epithelial lymphocytes
newborn babies, in contrast to adults, have... 1. higher hb lower WBC smaller RBC same percentae of HbF
higher Hb
WBC high too
RBC large by adult size
complications of sickle cell anaemia that are more common in adults than children include….
- Hand-foot syndrome
- Hyposplenism
- Red cell aplasia
- Splenic sequestration
- Stroke
-hyosplenism.
everything else - infant or child more common
Siblings with sickle cell anaemia present simultaneously with severe anaemia and a low reticulocyte count—likely diagnosis?
- Splenic sequestration
- Parvovirus B19 infection
- Folic acid deficiency
- Haemolytic crisis
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
parvovirus B19.
haemolytic crisis - reticulocytes high.
vit b12 def - uncomon in child.
A 6-year-old Afro-Caribbean boy presents with chest and abdominal pain; Hb is 63 g/l, MCV 85 fl and blood film shows sickle cells—likely diagnosis?
- Sickle cell trait
- Sickle cell anaemia
- Sickle cell/beta thalassaemia
True answer 2
Cant be sickle trait as anaemia and sickle cells
Not 3 as MCV is normal, would be microcytic if both
trait - hb conc normal and no sickle cell in blood film.
sickle cell/ beta thal - not this as MCV is normal
7-year-old Afro-Caribbean boy had abdominal pain and urinary tract symptoms and was given an anti-emetic by his G.P. Three days later he was noted to have yellow eyes and was brought to the hospital
(normal) WBC 10.9 × 109/l, (severe anemia) Hb 58 g/l, (upper limit of normal)MCV 100 fl, (norm)platelet count 275 × 109/l
hep a hep b sickle cell G6PD def heriditary spherocytosis
G6PD deficiency
X linked – therefore mainly males
bite cells
large cells
rbc with little bit of Hb attached to it
irregularly contracted cells
G6PD deficiency
A 1-year-old boy presents with joint bleeding, Hb, WBC and platelet count are normal, aPTT is prolonged, PT is normal, bleeding time normal—most likely diagnosis?
Haemophilia A Haemophilia B Von Willebrand disease Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura Has taken mother’s warfarin tablets
haemophilia A
history - b is likely too. but a more common so most likely
53 year old male with weight loss and abdo discomfort
O/E hepatomegaly and spleen 6 cm below costal margin
Hb 98g/l WBC 20x109/l platelets 60x109/l
BCR-ABL transcripts not detected
JAK2 V617F 20%
BM aspirate dry tap
primary myelofibrosis
22 year old male Cyanotic congenital heart disease Hb 210g/l and Haematocrit 60% No splenomegaly Select the most likely Lab test results Serum erythropoietin JAK2 mutation analysis
JAK2 negative
EPO raised
secondary polycythatmia -
which is true?
1Immunosuppressive therapy is only used to treat a minority of patients with aplastic anaemia.
1If treated with immunosuppression, then relapse of Aplastic Anaemia occurs in less than 15% of cases
3The cure rate of AA treated by sibling-related allogeneic stem cell transplantation in a patient under 40 years old is > 70%.
4Severe aplastic anaemia is differentiated from non-severe aplastic anaemia on the basis of the acquired cytogenetic abnormalities in the bone marrow.
5Leucodepletion of cellular blood products is only exceptionally undertaken for patients with aplastic anaemia.
3The cure rate of AA treated by sibling-related allogeneic stem cell transplantation in a patient under 40 years old is > 70%.
which is true?
1Telomeric shortening is a feature of both idiopathic aplastic anaemia and dyskeratosis congenita
2Development of malignancy is an uncommon complication of Fanconi Anaemia
3A single genetic defect has been identified as the underlying cause for Fanconi Anaemia
4Fanconi Anaemia is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion
5Telomeric function is considered to be unimportant in the pathophysiology of Dyskeratosis Congenita.
