Shit - Heme Flashcards
Platalets:
- lifespan
- dense granules
- alpha granules
- lifespan 8-10d
- dense = APD and Ca
- alpha = vWF and fibrinogen
Neutrophils:
- specific granules:
- azuriphilic granules:
specific = ALP, collagenase, lactoferrin, lysozyme* (cell wall breaking)
Azurophilic = proteinase, acid phosphatase, MPO (makes green pus), b-glucuronidase
Macrophages and shock
Macro CD14 —-Lipid A of LPS
causes of eosinophilia
Il-5, asthma, allergy, neoplasia, parasites, chronic adrenal insufficiency
Content of eosinophils vs basophils vs mast cells
eos = MBP and histaminase
baso = histamine, heparin, late LTs
mast = histamine, heparin, tryptase, eosinophil chemotactic factor
Prevention of mast cell degranulation
Cromolyn sodium
NK markers
CD16 and CD56
Kleihauer-Betke test
%HbF in maternal blood, determines rhogam dosing
Extrinsic coagulaton pathway: players and test
VII to VIIa by III
III = thromboplastin = tissue factor; activated by endothelial injury
PT
plasminogen to plasmin
tPA (endogenous)
Alteplase, reteplase, streptokinase, tenecteplase
Stops plasmin formation:
a2-anti-plasmin (endogenous)
Aminocaproic acid
Factors activated by vit K
II, VII, IX, X, C, S
Protein C role
Inactivate Va and VIIIa
Factor V liden mutation
Factor V that can’t be inactivated by protein C –> clotting disease
Antithrombin inactivates:
enhanced by:
II, VII, IX, X, XI, XII
*most important = II and Xa
enhanced by heparin
Platelet activation:
- activated by:
- release:
Activated by platelet GpIb ——- vWF—endotheium
Release ADP, CA and TXA2
ADP ——ADP-R of other platelets –> GPIIb/IIIa espression, which binds fibrinogen causing platelet aggregatoin
Where does vWF come from?
Weibel-palade bodies of endothelium
Alpha-granules of platelets
ADP-R inhibitors
Clopidogrel, prasugrel, triclopidine
Direct GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors
Abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban
Ristocetin
promotes vWF — GpIb
decreased agglutinatoin in test indicated von Willibran disease or bernard soulier (GpIb deficiency)
Direct thrombin inhibitors:
agatroban, dabigatran, bivalirudin
Direct Xa inhibitors
Apixaban, rivaroxaban
*fondaparineux
Spur cells (acanthocytes)
vs echinocyte (burr cell)
spur = liver disease, abetalipoproteinemia, vit E deficiency
burr = EDTA artifact, uremia, PK deficiency, hypo-Mg, hypo-P, hemolytic anemia, mechanical damage
Basophilic stippling vs ringed sideroblasts
basophilic stippling = lead poisoning
ringed sideroblasts = sideroblastic anemia, IRON in the mitochondria becasue d-ala-synthase deficiency MA (also can be from lead poisoning)
bite cells other name:
degmacyte
target cells:
HbC, Asplenia, Liver disease, Thalassemias
Plumer-Vinson
IDA, esophageal webs, atrophic glossitis
alpha-thal
- chrom/problem
- Types
Cr16; deletions
cis = asian = same strand (worse, creates HbBarts)
trans = african = different
HbBarts = hydrops = 0/4
HbH = 1/4
Beta-thal
- chrom/problem
- types
Cr 11, point mutations in spice sites/promoters
Medeterranian
Major = high HbF
Minor = high HbA2
