T4 patho midterm 2 Flashcards
Hemolytic Anemia
Premature RBC destruction
Jaundice due to hemoglobin breakdown and increase bilirubin in blood
Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia-Warm AB AHA
Hemolysis due to anti RBC AB (IgG at 37degree C)
Idiopathic
Secondary to cancer and drug use
Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia-Cold AB AHA
IgM AB presence at low temp
Idiopathic
infection, cancer
hereditary Spherocytosis
Autosomal dominant
**SPECTRA DEFECT-RBC vulnerability to destruc
Results in splenomegaly
European Descent
G-6-P dehydrogenase deficiency
MC in blacks, female children carry disease
Excess peroxide forms **Heinz bodies
**Favism from eating fava beans
Normal Hemoglobin
HbA- 2 alpha, 2 beta chains
HbA2- 2 alpha, 2 gamma chains
HbF- 2 alpha, 2 delta chains
Sickle Cell Anemia
Abnormal Hemoglobin (HbS) Intrincis hemolytic anemia MC in blacks Leads to splenic infection **Blood smear shows Howell Jolly Bodies
Thalassemia
Decreased or absent alpha or b chain hemoglobin
Beta Thalassemia
A.K.A Cooley Anemia
Most severe type
Decreased beta chain
MC in Mediterranean
Alpha Thalassemia
Mild hemolysis and anemia
**Tear drop cells in cell prep
Megaloblastic Anemia
B12 or folic acid deficiency
Due to tape worm, diet, pernicious anemia
**Leads to Beefy tongue
Iron Deficiency anemia
Most common type of anemia Leads to microcytic, hypo chromic anemia **Causes Plummer vision Syndrome Plummer syndrome Triad: 1. microcytic hypochromic anemia 2. esophageal webs 3. glossitis Causes cheilosis (cracking of lips)
Aplastic anemia
Decrease RBC, WBC, platelet
Aplastic anemia causes
MC=idiopathic
MC infection from Hep C
Aplastic anemia clinical signs
fanconi syndrome
Polycythemia
Increase erythrocytes
2 types of polycythemia
Relative and absolute
Relative polycythemia
Due to dehydration, stress, and decreased plasma
Absolute Polycythemia
Primary- Increase viscosity, unknown etiology, causes hepatosplenomegaly
Secondary- Increase erythropoeitin due to COPD, increase altitude, tumor
Leukopenia
Decrease WBC due to chronic viral infection
Leukocytosis
Increase WBC count
Leukomoid Rxn: WBC count=50,000cells/uL
Dohl Bodies present
Leukemia
Malignant neoplasm of bone marrow
in ribs, sternum, vertebrae, pelvis
Leukemia predisposing factors and symptoms
irradiation, drugs, down syndrome
hepatosplenomegaly and kidneys, adrenals, CNS issues leading to anemia
Acute Lymphocytic leukemia
Children 10 poor prognosis
Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia
Elderly >60yoa
50% die of infection
Acute Myelocytic Leukemia
MC adult leukemia
very poor prognosis
Chronic myelocytic anemia
Middle age
Philedelpha chromosome present
Thrombocytopenia
decrease platelet count leading to hemorrhagic disorder
Idiopathic thrombocytopenia
MC in children after viral infection
Autoimmune disease
Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura
Small vessel damage leading to RBC damage
MC in young women
Poor prognosis
Intrinsic clotting time
22-35sec
extrinsic clotting time
11-13 sec factor VII
Hemophilia A
Sex linked recessive, female gives to male
Factor VIII-C deficient
Von willibrands Disease
MC hereditary coagulation disease
Absence of VIII-C and VIII-VWF
Vit K deficiency
Fat malabsorption leading to decrease in Vit K
Vit K activates clotting factor 2,7,9,10
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
Intravascular consumption of clotting factors (platelets, fibrinogen, factor 5&8)
Due to sepsis, snake bit, etc
Hodkins Lymphoma (Pel Ebstein Fever)
Presence of Reed Sternberg Cells (owl eye appearance)
Malignant lymphoma
lymphocytic predominant hodgkins lymphoma
common in males <40 low prevalence (5%)
Nodular Sclerosing hodgkins lymphoma
MC type of hodgkins
MC in females
60% prevalence
Mixed Cellularity Hodgkins Lymphoma
2nd most common type
freq in men
Lymphatic Depletion hodgkins lymphoma
Men over 50
Fever, weight loss, night sweat
Non Hodgkins Lymphoma
No reed stern berg cells
Lymphodenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly
Nodular non hodgkins lymphoma
Nodular cells can infiltrate capsule
common in elderly, good prognosis
Diffuse non hodgkins lymphoma
lymph node is destroyed
Burkitts Lymphoma
Non Hodgkins lymphoma MC in african children/young adult Related to Epstein Barr virus Africans-effects mandible/maxilla Americans- effects abdomen
Multiple Myeloma
