Fetal edema

36
Q

Immune hydrops are due to this

A

Blood group incompatibility (ABO, Rho)

37
Q

Blood group incompatibility (ABO, Rho) cause this category of fetal hydrops

A

Immune hydrops

38
Q

Anatomic or chromosomal conditions cause this category of fetal hydrops

A

Non-immune hydrops

39
Q

Severity of fetal hydrops due to ABO blood group incompatibility

A

Usually mild or subclinical

40
Q

Most severe cases of fetal hydrops are due to this

A

Rh blood group incompatibility

41
Q

Only immunoglobulin that crosses the placenta

42
Q

Hemolysis release this, which the liver metabolizes into bilirubin

A

Hemoglobin

43
Q

Hemolysis releases hemoglobin, which the liver metabolizes to this

44
Q

Bilirubin deposits in brain

A

Kernicterus

45
Q

Kernicterus is deposits of these in brain

46
Q

Bilibubin makes things this color

A

Yellow (jaundice)

47
Q

Hemolysis has this effect on O2 carrying capacity

A

Decreases
(anemia)

48
Q

Compensatory RBC hyperplasia causes this

A

Hepatomegaly, Splenomegaly
Hepatic hematopoiesis

49
Q

Severe anemia due to hemoglobin production defect

A

Thalassemia

50
Q

Parvovirus B19 infects these

A

Erythrocyte precursors

51
Q

Prenatal or Postnatal infection of Parvovirus B19:
Usually a self-limited infection with rash and fever

A

Postnatal
Usually subclinical unless person has hemoglobin production disorder

52
Q

Prenatal or Postnatal infection of Parvovirus B19:
Infects erythrocyte precursors –> transient red cell aplasia

53
Q

Transient Red Cell Aplasia occurs due to this

A

Parvovirus B19 postnatal infection

54
Q

Prenatal or Postnatal infection of Parvovirus B19:
Infection leads to profound anemia
Also high output heart failure and fetal hydrops

55
Q

During 2nd-3rd trimesters, there is normally very high proliferation of these cells
Reason for profound anemia in prenatal infection of Parvovirus B19

56
Q

59
Q

CFTR absorbs or releases CL from/into lumen of sweat glands?

60
Q

CFTR absorbs or releases CL from/into other glands besides sweat glands?

A

Releases
(increase Na, increase H2O = fluid like, less thick secretions)

61

Lung disease and Heart failure

67
Q

Deficiencies of vitamins A, D, E, K occur in this condition

A

Cystic fibrosis

68
Q

Foul smelling, bulky, greasy stools occur in this condition

A

Cystic fibrosis
Due to pancreatitis; cannot absorb fats = malabsorption

69
Q

Phenylketonuria is a deficiency of this

A

Phenylalanine hydroxylase

70
Q

Accumulated metabolites cause musty “mouselike” odor in this condition

A

Phenylketonuria

71
Q

Phenylalanine metabolites accumulate in Phenylketonuria and cause this damage

A

CNS damage

72
Q

Galactosemia is a deficiency of this

A

Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase

73
Q

Thick secretions in the pancreas of patients with Cystic Fibrosis leads to this

A

Duct obstruction

74
Q

Why do cystic fibrosis patients have malabsorption?

A

Thick secretion in pancreas lead to duct obstruction and subsequence damage/pancreatitis, pancreatic insufficiency
Cannot digest fats and proteins or absorb fats

75
Q

Destruction of endocrine pancreas in cystic fibrosis leads to this

76
Q

Pancreas with morphology of cyst surrounded by scar is seen in this condition

A

Cystic fibrosis

77
Q

5-10% of patients with this have meconium ileus at birth

A

cystic fibrosis

78
Q

This is seen in 5-10% of cystic fibrosis patients at birth, results in no stools for days after delivery

A

Meconium ileus

79
Q

In cystic fibrosis, bile duct obstruction leads to this

A

Fibrosis (50%)
Cirrhosis (<10%) of liver

80
Q

Bilateral vas deferens agenesis (azoospermia) and cervical mucus inpissation are reproduction results of this condition

A

Cystic Fibrosis

81
Q

Why do female cystic fibrosis patients have decreased fertility?

A

Cervical mucus inspissation (thickening of fluid prevents sperm cells from traveling)

82
Q

Why do male patients with cystic fibrosis have fertility issues?

A

Bilateral vas deferens agenesis –> azoospermia
