Question
Answer
show Reticulocyte (adjusted) count is up (>3%)  
🗑
Non haemolytic normocytic anaemia?   show
🗑
show Increased demand: Infants (common), Pregnancy, Decreased GI absorption, Hematuria Increased loss: Menorrhagia (common), GI bleeds VERY poor diet Glossitis, esophogeal webbing  
🗑
Test results for iron deficiency anaemia   show
🗑
Causes of microcytic anaemia   show
🗑
show Defects in heme production:Anaemias of Chronic Disease (ACD), Iron deficiancy, Sideroblastic anaemia Defects to globin production: Lead poisoning, Thalessaemia  
🗑
show Gastric acid frees Fe2+ to be absorbed. Vit C reduces Fe3+ to Fe2+ Storage from largest to smallest: Heme, Bone marrow macrophages (can be released rapidly, also present in spleen+liver), myoglobin, cofactor in enzymes  
🗑
show Autoimmune (cold), Mechanical (valve), GP6D deficiency, HbC, Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, Low haptoglobin, high Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), damage to vasculature (valves), hemoglobinuria  
🗑
Extravascular Normocytic and Normochromic anaemias and general lab results   show
🗑
show Lysis in the blood vessel. Hb released into the blood and immediately bound by haptoglobin for clearance in the liver. LDH also released. If haptoglobin is used up the kidneys will filter. If the kidneys are maxed hb in urine.  
🗑
show RBCs attacked prematurely by the liver and spleen phagocytes. Hb is converted into iron for recycling and the globine portion becomes billirubin later. LDH also, but not haptoglobin elevated.  
🗑
show DNA synthesis is unimpaired. Cause by bone marrow suppression from liver damage, alcohol abuse, metabolic disorders (purines/pyrimidines), drugs (5-FU, AZY, hydroxyurea) Reticulocytosis  
🗑
Common pathologies in B12 and folate deficiencies   show
🗑
Divergent pathologies in B12 and folate deficiencies   show
🗑
show IgG antibodies attach to a red blood cell, leaving their FC portion exposed with reactivity at 37°C. Recognized and grabbed onto by FC receptors found on monocytes and macrophages in the spleen so extravascular HA. Caused by CLL, SLE, RA, Idiopathic.  
🗑
show At body temperatures of 28-31°C, such as those encountered during winter months in the periphery IgM bind to RBC and initiates the classical complement pathway leading to intravascular HA. Caused by Idiopathic, Lymphoma, CLL  
🗑
show Direct: Anti-Human antibody to patient RBC (tests for antibodies present on RBCs) Indirect: Add potential donor RBC to patients serum. Then add Anti-Human antibody. (If there is coagulation then serum antibodies attached to donor RBC. Not suitable)

🗑
Sickle cell Anaemia Pathology   show
🗑
show Transportation of RBCs through inflamed tissue can also lead to occlusion of microvasculature. Then more inflammationI mediators → ↑ adhesion molecules → sickling and occlusion. and the cycle continues. Manage:NSAIDs then opiates. Spleen is special case.
