Q

In HDN why does baby’s bilirubin rise even more after birth

Q

How does monitoring OD of amniotic fluid help predict worsening of disease

A

OD usually declines after 2nd trimester

Q

Anemia that results when an individual forms an antibody against RBC antigens

A

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia

30
Q

Term for anemia that results when an individual forms an antibody against drug

A

Drug induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia

31
Q

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia classified into what categories

A

Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Cold hemagglutinin disease

32
Q

Which AIHA is more common

A

WAIHA

33
Q

What temp do antibodies seen in WAIHA react best

A

37C

34
Q

Extra vascular hemolysis occurs where

A

Liver and spleen

35
Q

Cells carrying low levels of IgG are cleared in what organ

A

Spleen

36
Q

Cells sensitized by complement or higher levels of IgG cleared by what organ

A

Liver

37
Q

Lab findings associated with intravascular hemolysis

A

Hemoglobin in plasma and urine
Increased bilirubin
Decreased haptoglobin

38
Q

Lab findings associated with extra vascular hemolysis

A

Increased bilirubin

Urobilinogen

39
Q

Test to determine if circulating antibody and the antigens on RBCs have bound

A

DAT

40
Q

When a DAT is positive what will RBCs most likely be coated with

A

Both IgG and complement

41
Q

If only one protein is coating RBC surface in DAT what is it likely

A

IgG

42
Q

To remove protein coating patient RBCs what procedure will be done

A

Elution

43
Q

Why shouldn’t patients with WAIHA be transfused

A

AutoAb makes finding compatible blood and identifying alloAB difficult
Auto AB shortens life of transfused cells

44
Q

Does presence of ab in serum indicate mild or severe disease

A

Severe

45
Q

Procedure used to remove autoantibody from patients cells so they can be type

A

Chloroquine diphosphate for IgG

Think reagent for IgM

46
Q

Procedure used to remove AutoAb from patients serum

A

Adsorption

47
Q

Procedure used to remove AutoAb from patients serum

A

Adsorption

48
Q

What determines if autologous or homologous cells are used for adsorption

A

If patient has been recently transfused

49
Q

Type of treatment will WAIHA usually receive

A

Glucocorticoid steroid
Splenectomy
Cytotoxic drugs

50
Q

Age group and disease state usually seen with chronic CHD

A

Over 50

Lymphoproliferative disorders

51
Q

Age group and disease state usually seen in transient CHD

A

Adolescents

Infections

52
Q

Cold reactive AutoAb that react at what temp are clinically significant and why

A

28-31C can cause ongoing hemolysis at room temp

53
Q

In CHD what protein should be seen coating cells when DAT is performed

A

Complement

54
Q

Titer of cold reactive antibody usually associated with what

A

Thermal amplitude

55
Q

Infections associated with CHD

A

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Infectious mono

56
Q

Auto anti-P in PNH is called what

A

Doneth-Landsteiner

57
Q

Treatment for CHD

A

Keep warm

Folic acid

58
Q

What temp is EDTA tube for cold agglutinin test kept at and why

A

37C

So antibody comes off of RBCs to perform testing

59
Q

What cells are used to perform cold agglutinin test

A

Patient cells with screening cells,

Best tracing cell is used in overnight test

60
Q

Significant titer rise

A

> 128

61
Q

True drug induced hemolytic anemias caused by what

A

Methyldopa/aldomet

62
Q

In true drug induced hemolytic anemia what type of cells will eluate react with

A

All RBCs

63
Q

What type of drug is usually involved in anemia resulting from drug adsorption

A

IV penicillin

64
Q

What are the only type of cells eluate from patient with drug adsorption mechanisms

A

Penicillin coated RBCs

65
Q

What differentiates drug adsorption mechanism from drug dependent mechanism

A

Drug dependent may bind drug at any site in body

Drug adsorption only destroys cells with drug on surface
