Q

cause of dilated coronary sinus

A

coronary sinus communicates w/ the right atrium and can become dilated secondary to any factor that causes RIGHT atrial dilation

often this is pulm a. HTN which leads to elevated right heart pressures

A

low EPO disoders (caused by MPDs like PCVera)

29
Q

Increased EPO levels d/t chronic hypoxia from high altitudes, somking, COPD

A

Secondary erythrocytosis

what can reverse the toxicity of methotrexate in GI mucosa and bone marrow

A

Leucovorin (folinic acid)

doesn’t require DHFR for conversion to THF

39
