Question
Answer
How to detect if it is an anaemia is haemolytic?   show
🗑
show Renal disease, Anaemias of Chronic Disease (ACD, not totally sensitive as ACD can progress to microcytic anaemia), and aplastic anaemia  
🗑
Causes of iron deficiency anaemia and specific symptoms   show
🗑
show MCV<80, hypochromatic, Ferritin low. Ferritin VERY specific, but not sensitive (e.g. inflammation causes it to rise)  
🗑
Causes of microcytic anaemia   show
🗑
Pathogenesis of microcytic anaemias   show
🗑
Iron digestion and storage sites   show
🗑
Intravascular Normocytic and Normochromic anaemias and general lab results   show
🗑
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
🗑
show Folate: causes by impaired metabolism (MTX,Trimethoprim), higher requirements. B12: Malabsorption, tapeworm, high methylmalonic acid. Peripheral neuropathies (dorsal column first), lateral corticospinal spasticity, dementia  
🗑
Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia   show
🗑
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)  
🗑
Plummer-Vinson Syndrome   show
🗑
show Too much Iron. Appear bronze coloured and symptom overlap with anaemia + low libido and joint pain. Primary caused my high absorption due to genetic disorders. Secondary cause by abnormal heme production from other pathologies (e.g. thalesseamia)  
🗑
Anaemia of Chronic Disease cause + treatment   show
🗑
Thalessaemia beta cause, findings, and diagnostic test   show
🗑
show 2 gene, 4 alleles. 1 delete=silent carrier. 2 deletion (cis or trans). MC and clinically similar to BT minor. 3 deletion=excess beta chains->EV hemolysis, Heinz bodies and clinically similar to BT major. Episodic pallor/anaemia. Use Hb electrophoresis.  
🗑
B12 Metabolism   show
🗑
show Folate is absorbed in the jejunum. The enzyme intestinal conjugase (which is inhibited by phenytoin) is required for absorption.  
🗑
show Bone marrow failure Toxins,rarely can be due to NSAIDs, methimazole, propylthiouracil) → hypocellular bone marrow → pancytopenia Bone marrow->hypocellularity. Severe (rare): Siderosis, Macrocytic Viral: pvB19, HIV, EBV, HCV Fanconi's, radiation  
🗑
Hereditary spherocytosis/elliptocytosis. Pathology+Findings   show
🗑
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria   show
🗑
G6PD deficiency Pathology, Symptoms, and demographics   show
🗑
show autosomal recessive. Since RBCs can only produce ATP via glycolysis, this deficiency severely effects the ability of RBCs to produce energy. Decreased ATP production in the RBC → altered membrane integrity → EV HL (Splenomegaly, Jaundice) Spur cells  
🗑
show heterozygous HbS, Protective vs Malaria. Very common in africa (1/3?) Largely asymptomatic  
🗑
show β-globin point mutation valine for glutamic acid (codon 6). Low O2 tension (higher hydrophobia interactions) → RBCs sickle and cell membranes stiffen, becoming more likely to hemolyze (EV). Treat: hydroxyurea (causes increased HbF synthesis) in severe
