Question
Answer

🗑
% Saturation calculation   show
🗑
show 1) serum iron 2) TIBC 3) % Saturation  
🗑
Increased TIBC equals what?   show
🗑
show IDA; Acute or chronic inflammatory disorders; treatment of other anemias (iron gets used up making more cells); hemorrhage or menstruation  
🗑

🗑
show 1) IDA 2) hepatitis  
🗑

🗑
show Apoferritin (the protein) + iron  
🗑
Ferritin increased in . . .   show
🗑

🗑
show zinc protoporphyrin; used as a screening test for lead poisoning; elevated in iron deficient conditions (most porphyrin chelates with zincion and makes ZPP)  
🗑
show pretty much the same thing as ZPP, except instead of measuring porphyrin attached to zinc, you extract the free porphyrins from erythrocytes  
🗑

🗑
IDA serum Fe, TIBC, % saturation   show
🗑
IDA ferritin, ZPP, TfR (transferrin receptor)   show
🗑
show can be normocytic/normochromic (or micro/hypo); normal to increased hemosiderin in bone marrow (it's there, just isn't released); normal to decreased TIBC; % saturation is >15% (this is key); normal to increased serum ferritin

🗑
show Ileum  
🗑
show Dietary lack of B12 (not common in U.S.); antibodies against intrinsic factor  
🗑
show marcrocytic/normochromic RBCs (ovalocytes); hypersegmented neutrophils;  
🗑
Macrocytic bone marrow   show
🗑
Macrocytic anemia LD, haptoglobin, and Iron levels   show
🗑
Schilling's Test   show
🗑
Clinical features of B12 macrocytic anemia   show
🗑
Folic acid is absorbed in the . . .   show
🗑
show weeks; years  
🗑
show iron loading anemia  
🗑
Sideroblastic vs IDA   show
🗑
show increased hemosiderin; ringed sideroblasts;  
🗑
Sideroblastic serum iron, TIBC, increased % sat, ferritin   show
🗑
show bronze diabetes  
🗑
Basophilic stippling can indicate   show
🗑
Ham's test aka . . .   show
🗑
Ham's test tests for what and how does it do it?   show
🗑
show Paroxysmal nocturanl hemoglobinuria (PNH); also can be postive for HEMPAS  
🗑
show Ham's Test; sugar water test  
🗑
What type of hemoglobin causes sickle cell?   show
🗑

🗑
show Shows the presence of spherocytes; hereditary spherocytosis, and hemolytic anemias are more fragile (also increased in old blood)  
🗑
How is the RBC osmotic fragility test set up?   show
🗑
show jaunide; dark/red urine; anemia; splenomegaly; hemoglobinuria (this is an important one)  
🗑
show PNH; MAHA; DIC; Drug reaction in G6PD; transfusion reaction; Hereditary spherocytosis; H. eliptocytosis; H. pyropoikilocytosis; H. stomatocytosis  
🗑
Horizontal defects of RBCs   show
🗑
Vertical defects of RBCs   show
🗑
Why are spherocytes more easily destroyed?   show
🗑
Clinical values of HS hgb, MCV, MCHC)   show
🗑
Problems associated with hreditary elliptocytosis   show
🗑
show Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis; inherited; horizontal defect; PB shows budding, torn, strange shapes of RBCs  
🗑

🗑
What is the RBC count, the indices and the typical RBC morphology of thalassemia?   show
🗑
show Sideroblastic anemia; there is a disturbed or missing enzyme in the heme synthesis pathway; this leads to iron accumulation within mitochondria, which eventually rupture and deposit the iron into the cell
