Fatigue
headaches
fever
exertional dyspnea
all anemias
Acute blood loss anemia PP
accident or internal hemorrhage
Acute blood loss anemia Blood test
normochromic macrocytosis poikilosytosis nucleated rbi reticulocytes increases WBCs (neutrophils) anisocytosis decreased platelets
“norma makes peter nut really intense all day”
Chronic blood loss anemia PP
slow internal bleeding (not noticed until iron depleted)
Chronic blood loss anemia blood test
Microcytic
Hypochromic
increased platelets
leukopenia
Iron deficient anemia PP
currently pregnant, young child growing fast
PICA
associated with ulcers and gastrectomy
Iron deficient S&S
PICA Paresthesia Burning tongue Angular stomatitis (cracking mouth in corners) Gastritis Dysphagia Spooning nails
“Peter’s penis burns all day, got syphilis”
Iron deficient Anemia BT
Decrease MCV Decrease MCHC Decrease HCT (hematocrit) microcytic normal WBC Hypochromic Anisocytosis Poikilocytes
Iron depletion
loss exceeds intake
mobilized iron storage
Iron deficient erythropoeisis
decreased serum ferrite’s
saturated transfurens
megaloblastic anemia
pernicious anemia
folate deficient anemia
pernicious anemia PP
numbness or tingling in distal extremity difficulty walking episodic abdominal pain gastroectomy A vegan tapworm
Pernicious anemia S&S
atrophic glossitis (sore, raw pale)
episodic abdominal pain
Pallesthesia loss of vibratory sensations
UMNL (paresthesia)
post column-pins/needles in distal extremity
lat column- weakness, spastic
Pernicious anemia blood test
increased MCV decreased hematocrit normochromic macrocytic Poikilocytes ovalcytes phlimsy RBC
normal iron problem with dna synth.
pernicious anemia
only vitamin exclusive to microorganisms
stored in liver
depleted in people with gastroectomy or vegan
B12
Treatment of pernicious anemia
intraMuscular injection of B12
FOLATE DEFICIENCY
PP
former user of alcohol pregnant w/ fatigue normal B12 Heat food or use powder milk vegans
FOLATE DEFICIENCY BT
↓ Serum Folate B12 normal Platlets normal WBC normal
STORED
in LIVER
formed
by intestinal bacteria
folate
deficiency in folate
Heat foods
Powdered Milk
Goats Milk
APLASTIC ANEMIA
PP
blood test with pancytopenia (decrease in all blood cells) nose / gum bleeding Infection
APLASTIC ANEMIA SS
bleeding from the gums nose bleeds frequent ↑ susceptibility to infection
Aplastic Anemia BT
Normocytes Thrombocytopenia Leucocytopenia ↑serum feritan Normochromic B12 & Folic acid normal
Bone
Marrow production problem
2 WAYS:
1) Direct Destruction of Hematocrit
[Drugs (chlorophenical), radiation, virus, hepatitis, Epsteinbarr]
2) ImmuneComplex
Mediated Destruction of Marrow Cells
