Hem-Onc

QuestionAnswer
WBC Differential Neutrophils > Lymphocytes > Monocytes > Eosinophils > Basophils
Anisocytosis Varying sizes
Poikilocytosis Varying shape
Eosinophilia Cause NAACP: Neoplasia, Asthma, Allergies, Collagen vascular diseases (Churg-Straus), Parasites
INF-Gamma Activates macrophages
Phospholipid & Ca++ Mediated Factor Activity Factors 5(10), 7, 9, 11
Vitamin-K Dependent Factors Factors 2, 7, 9, 10, Prot S, C.
Activated Protein C Targets Factor 8a, 5a (10a synthesis & effector co-factors)
Antithrombin III Targets Factor 9a, 10a, 11a (Intrinsic focus)
Kalikrein Function HMWK->Bradykinin & Plasminogen->Plasmin
Plasmin Function Cross-link Fibrin & C3->C3a
Platelet Aggregation Regulation Pro: TXA2, Anti:PGI (prostacyclin) & NO
Target Cell DDx HALT, said the hunter to his target: HbC, Asplenia, Liver disease, Thalasemia
Macrocytic Anemia MCV>100. High Retic Ct. Megaloblastic (DNA synthesis problem). 1)B12,Folate Def 2)Sulfa drugs, AZT, Phenytoin 3)Reticulocytosis(secondary)
Microcytic Anemia MCV<80. Etiology: 1)Iron Deficiency: Low Fe, High TIBC, Low Ferritin 2)Thalassemias Target cells 3)Lead poisoning:dimorphic,sideroblastic cells
Normocytic Anemia 1)Hemorrhage, AI hemolytic anemia 2)G6PD (X-linked),Pyruvate Kinase Def (AR) 3)Hereditary spherocytosis 4)Aplastic anemia/leukemia 5)Chronic Disease (reticuloendothelial macrophages hide iron from potential pathogens)
Transferrin FE/TIBC
TIBC Indicates the “need for iron”
Ferritin Indicates how much iron a person has
Aplastic Anemia Etiology 1)Radiation 2)Chemicals: Benzene, chloramphenicol, alkylating agents, antimetabolites 3)Viral:ParvoB19, EBV, HIV 4)Fanconi’s Anemia 5)Idiopathic.
Aplastic Anemia Tx Allogenic bone marrow xplant. RBC & platelet transfusion. G-CSF, GM-CSF: Granulocyte (+Macrophage) Colony Stimulating Factor
Sickle Cell Complications, Tx Low O2, H20-> Aplastic crisis (ParvoB19 infx), Spleen sequestration, Increased risk for encapsulated organism infx, Salmonella osteomyelitis, pain crisis (vaso-occlusion), renal papillary necrosis. Tx: Hydroxyurea increases HBF production.
Hb H Beta tetramers. Only 1 functional Alpha gene. Thalassemia
Hb Barts Gamma Tetramers. No functional alpha gene. Hydrops Fetalis- fetal death. Thalassemia.
Beta Thalassemia Major: Crazy hepatosplenomegaly. Crew cut skull. Frequent blood transfusions -> Hemachromatosis, heart failure. Minor: Meh.
Warm Agglutinin IgG-mediated Chronic Immune Anemia: SLE, CLL, methyldopa
Cold Agglutinin IgM-mediated Acute Immune Anemia: Mono, Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
Erythroblastosis Fetalis Rh negative mother’s serum antibodies attack newborn’s Rh+ RBCs 
Coombs Test Determines Autoimmune cause of hemolytic anemias. Direct: Anti-Ig antibodies agglutinate Ig-bound RBCs. Indirect: Pt’s anti-RBC Igs attack & agglutinate normal RBCs
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Membrane defect(GP1 def)-> more susceptible to complement lysis. Elevated Urine Hemosiderin.
Microangiopathic Anemia “Fragmentation” hemolytic anemia. DIC, TTP, HUS, SLE, HTN-> schistocytes.
DIC Etiology STOP Making New Thrombi! Sepsis, Trauma, Obstetric complications, acute Pancreatitis, Malignancy, Nephrotic syndrome, Transfusion. Depletes coagulation cascade & platelets.
Idiopathic v. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Idiopathic: Antiplatelet antibodies, more megakaryocytes. Thrombotic: Vascular damage-> thrombosis. Elevated LDH, neuro & renal sx.
Hemophilia A vs B A:Factor 8 deficiency. B: Factor 9 Deficiency. Both X-linked.
Bleeding Time, PT, PTT Bleeding Time: Marker for platelets only, PT: Extrinsic PWY, PTT: Intrinsic PWY
Bernard-Soulier Low GP1b, low platelet ct.

t(11;14) Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Histiocytosis X Lagerhans macrophages w/ Birbeck Granules “Tennis rackets” ->-> Restrictive Pulm Dz
Extrinsic Pathway 7, 10, 5, 2, 1
Intrinsic Pathway 12, 11, 9, 8, 10, 5, 2, 1
vWF Disease Most common heritable coagulopathy-> prolonged bleeding time. Autosomal DOMINANT > Hemophilia A > B(XR). Normal bleeding time.
AT3 Deficiency 1) Estrogen use 2)congenital

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
