Types of anemias Flashcards
IDA
microcytic hypochromic
ACD/ARD
microcytic hypochromic/ normocytic normochromic*MC
Thalassemia
microcytic hypochromic
Chronic blood loss anemia / IDA
microcytic hypochromic
Acute blood loss anemia
normocytic normochromic
hemolytic anemia (SS)
normocytic normochromic
Folate deficiency anemia
macrocytic hyper/normo
Pernicious anemia
macrocytic hyper/normo
Aplastic anemia
normocytic normochromic
AML
MC in 1st month of life
myeloblast, promyelocytes
ALL
MC in patients over 20
L-blasts
CML
Philadelphia chromosome
myelocytes, metamyelocytes, neutrophils, bands
CLL
High small mature lymphocytes
Hodgkins lymphoma
Reed Sternberg cells. Neutrophilia, monocytosis
Non hodgkins lymphoma
Normal blood tests painless enlarged cervical nodes
Neutrophilic leukemoid reaction
mimic CML, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, neutrophils, bands, NO philadelphia chromosome
bands are early _____cells
neutrophil
lymphocytic leukemoid reaction
mimics CLL, lymphocytosis, nothing in bone marrow and negative lymph nodes
Multiple myeloma
plasma cells proliferate, normocytic normochromic, M-spike with protein electrophoresis, and bence jones proteinuria
anisocytes
vary in size hemolytic anemia
hypochromia
low hgb IDA, ACD thalassemia
ovalocytes
IDA, megaloblastic anemia
teardrop cells
thalassemia
target cells
hgb in rim/central core making a target. thalassemia, sickle cell, chronic liver disease
poikilocytes
abnormal shape variant anemias and leukemia
basophilic stippling
RNA in rbc, lead poisoning, thalassemia, hemolytic anemias
primary polycythemia verarubra
opposite of aplastic anemia, high rbc, wbc, hgb, hct = panhyperplasia, normal mcv and mch
secondary polycythemia
high rbcs, hgb due to need body neeeding more o2
tertiary polycythemia
dehydration decrease in plasma volume, increase rbcs, hgb, hct, with normal wbcs/platelets
