occurs in middle and old age
median survival is 10 years
LYMPHOCYTOSIS IS HALLMARK OF THE DISEASE

may be asymptomatic
cancer stuff
generalzed lymphadenopathy

45
Q

A

CBC with subnormal RBCs and neurtrophils
elevated ESR
peripheral blood smear differentiates between acute and chronic
NEED BONE MARROW ASPIRATION TO CONFIRM DIAGNOSIS

46

61
Q

DIC - acuired coagulation defficiency intravascular activation of coag and fibrinolytic systems thrombin and plasmin are activated, causing

A

simultaneous thrombus and hemorrhage- mortality is 50-85%

62
Q

DIC is associated with

A
malignant neoplasm
burns
shock
obestrical complicaitons
acute leukemia 
liver disease
63
Q

DIC pathophys

A

thrombin causes conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, producing fibrin clots and microcoagulation

coagulation factors IE fibrinogen, prothrombin, platelets, factor 5, and 8 are thus reduced

criculating plasmin, activates the firinolytic system which lyses fibrin clots tion fibrin degradation products

hemmorhage results from the anticoagulant activity of Fibrin degradation products and the depletion of coagulation factors

64
Q

DIC s and S

A

DIC variens greatly in severity

petechiae and mucous membrane bleeding

65
Q

DIC labs

A

thrombocytopenia Plat less than 150k
decreased RBCs
hypo fibrinogen less thant 170mg/dl
increased fibrin degradation products over 45mcg/ml or rpresent at over 1:100 dilution
pt over 19 seconds
ptt over 42 second
d dimer positive at 1:8 dilution reflects simultaneous activation of thrombin and plasmin
increased FDP’s gives a predictive accuracy of 96% for diagnosing DIC

66
Q

DIC treatment

A

treat the underlying condition and control the bleeding
platelet transfusions for thrombocytopenia
FFP for clotting factors
cryoparticiate to maintain fibrinogen levels are givenif bleeding is severe
use of heparin remains contriversial
therapy is aimed at cessation of bleeding and increasing plasma fibrinogen, and platelet count and decreasng FDP’s
