WBC Disorders II Flashcards
serum
no clotting factors
buffy coat
has WBCs
hematocrit
relative measure of red cell mass to plasma
male and female hematocrit
male - 45 +/- 7
female - 42 +/- 5
plasma obtain
add anticoagulant
citrate, EDTA, heparin
citrate and EDTA
chelate calcium
heparin
inhibits thrombin
plasma
fluid acellular portion of blood
blue top
citrate
purple top
EDTA
green top
heparin
alpha and beta globulins
carrier proteins
acute phase reactants
clotting factors
enzymes
gamma globulins
antibodies
albumin
oncotic pressure
M component
monoclonal spike
leukoerythroblastosis
release of nucleated RBCs and granulocyte progenitors
leukocytosis
proliferative
-reactive, neoplasm
leukopenia
decreased cell count
lymphopenia
neutropenia
agranulocytosis
low neutrophil count that is clinically significant
most common cause of agranulocytosis
drug toxicity
consequence of agranulocytosis
infections
-ulcerating necrotizing lesions of gingiva, floor of mouth, buccal mucosa
agranulocytic angina
leukocytosis
increased marrow production
increased release of marrow
decreased margination
decreased extravasation to tissues
IL-5
eosinos
G-CSF
neutros
dohle bodies
ER dilated
-sky blue cytoplasmic puddles
leukamoid rxn
elevated WBC count in response to stress/infection
acute non-specific lymphadenitis
enlarged, painful nodes
-reactive germinal centers, macrophages with cell debris, follicle center necrosis
toxic granules
coarse/dark and azurophilic
-with sepsis or severe inflammation
chronic non-specific lymphadenitis
follicular hyperplasia
paracortical hyperplasia
sinus histiocytosis
follicular hyperplasia
chronic non-specific lymphadenitis
polarized - dark zone (centroblast) and light zone (centrocytes)
tingible body macros - with B cell debris
rheumatoid arthritis, toxoplasmosis, early HIV
chronic gastritis
helicobacter pylori
bacterial infection
neutros
granuloma
epithiliod macros and mononuclear inflammatory cells
parasite infection
eosinos
fungal infection
granuoma
acute inflammation
granulocytes
chronic inflammation
mononuclear cells
autoimmune disease
mononuclear cells
tingible body macrophages
follicular hyperplasia
-chronic non-specific lymphadenitis
sinus histiocytosis
chronic lymphadenitis
-increased number and size of cells lining sinusoids
ex. nodes draining cancers
hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
cytopenia
-systemic inflammation and macrophage activation
can be genetic
acute fever, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, elevated ferritin, elevated liver function test, DIC, multi-organ failure, shock, death
hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
systemic activation of macrophages and CD8 T cells
reactive neutros
toxic granules and dohle bodies
AML
immature progenitors accumulate in marorw
myelodysplastic syndrome
ineffective hematopoiesis and cytopenia
chronic myeloproliferative disorder
increased production of 1 or more terminally differentiated myeloid element
histiocyte
tissue cell
langerhans cell
immature dendritic cell
histiocytoses
proliferation of macrophages or dendritic cells
smoking
2x increase in risk for acute myeloid leukemia
carcinomas
squamous cell or adenocarcinoma (glandular)
less differentiated
more aggressive
-for solid tumors
vascularization
when tumor is > 1-2cm
criteria for malignancy
metastasis
in solid tumors
sarcoma
malignant
leukemias and lymphomas
malignant
leukemia
bone marrow/peripheral blood
lymphoma
tissue mass
non-hodgkins lymphoma
1/3 extranodal
2/3 enlarged nontender nodes
blasts in peripheral blood
abnormal - should be investigated
staging
in hodgkins
myeloid lymphoma?
granulocytic sarcoma
myeloid neoplasms
- leukemias
- myelodysplastic syndrome
- myeloproliferative syndrome
