🗑
Pancytopenia occurs with what anemia?   aplastic  
🗑
Aplastic Anemia can be managed with?   EPO or blood transfusion  
🗑
Clinical manifestations of aplastic anemia are caused by?   suppression of any or all bone marrow elements

🗑
What are signs of retroperitoneal bleeding?   numbness, pain in the lower extremities, shock  
🗑
Intrinsic Hemolytic anemia   hemolysis of RBCs due to abnormal hb, enzyme defic., or membrane abnormalities  
🗑
What affect does hemolytic anemia have on spleen/liver?   enlarged due to hyperactive with macrophage phagocytosis of defective RBCs  
🗑
Why can hemolytic anemia cause kidney tubular necrosis?   accumulation of hemoglobin molecules obstruct renal tubules  
🗑
Homozygous for hemoglobin S (HbSS) would appear as?   Sickle cell anemia

🗑
Clonal proliferation of immature hematopoietic cells is what type of Leukemia?   Acute  
🗑
Chronic Leukemia involves   Mature forms of WBC and onset is more gradual  
🗑
Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)   Adults mostly – serious infection or bleeding – uncontrolled proliferation of myleoblasts – hyperplasia of marrow & spleen  
🗑
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)   Children mostly – immature lymphocytes proliferate in marrow, CNS manifestations, fever, bleeding  
🗑
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)   Excessive mature neoplastic granulocytes in marrow, massive  
🗑
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)   Enlarged lymph nodes, pain, paralysis from pressure  
🗑
Hairy Cell Leukemia   Chronic lymphoproliferation of B lymph – infiltrate bone marrow/liver, have “hairy” appearance, vasculitis  
🗑
Clinical manifestations of Leukemia   Overcrowding by abnormal cells, inadequate production of normal marrow elements

Induction therapy   attempt to induce remission by destroying leukemic cells  
🗑
Consolidation therapy   After remission achieved, eliminate remaining leukemic cells not pathologically evident  
🗑
Lymphomas are?   Malignant neoplasms originating in bone marrow and lymphatic structures – results in proliferation of lymphocytes
