A

Folate or Vit B12 deficiency

19
Q

MCV < 80

A

Microcytic anemia

20
Q

Microcytic anemias are due to

A

Decreased produciton of hemoglobin

Extra devision in BM to maintain hemoglobin concentration

21

  3. Sideroblastic anemia
  4. Thalassemia
22
Q

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemogloninuria (PNH) is due to

A

acquired defect in myeloid stem cells resulting in absent GPI, renders cells susceptible to destruction by complements

23
Q

Parvovirus B19 does what

A

Reticulocytes are

A

young RBCs released from the BM

Identified as larger cells with bluish cytoplasm

25
Q

Serum ferritin reflects

A

Iron stores in macrophages and liver

26
Q

Sickle cell is due to

A

replacement of normal glutamic acid with valine

27
Q

Sideroblastic anemia is due to

A

Defective protoporphyrin synthesis

28
Q

Sideroblastic anemia lab findings

A
  1. Increase ferritin
  2. Decrease TIBC
  3. Increase serum iron
  4. Increase % saturation
29

31
Q

Trans deletion in two gene α-Thalassemia found in

32
Q

Vit. B12 clinical

A

  2. Dehydration
  3. Acidosis
36
Q

Where are β genes pressent in β-Thalassemia

A

chromosome 11

37
Q

α-Thalassemia is due to

A

Gene deletion of alpha gene on chromosome 16

38
Q

β-Thalassemia major clinical

A

Massive erythroid hyperplasia causing:

  1. Expansion of hematopoiesis into skull (crewcut appearance)
  2. Expansion of hematopoiesis into facial bone (chipmunk face)
  3. Extramedullary hematopoiesis with hepatosplenomegaly
  4. Risk of aplastic crisis with B19 infection
39
Q

β-Thalassemia major (β0/β0) is

A
  1. Most severe β-Thalassemia that presents with severe anemia a few months after brith
  2. α tetramers aggregate and damage RBC resulting in ineffective erythropoiesis and extravascular hemolysis
40
