ANEMIA Flashcards
(43 cards)
Conditions under microcytic
Sideroblastic anemia
iron deficiency, anemia
anemia of chronic disease,
thalassemia
Conditions under macrocytic
Non-megaloblastic,
chronic liver disease,
alcoholism,
aplastic anemia
Megaloblastic
vitamin B12 deficiency
folate deficiency,
myelodysplasia/myelodysplastic syndrome
Conditions under normocytic
Increase reticulocyte count,
hemolytic anemia
decrease reticulocyte count
plastic anemia
myeloma
myelofibrosis
neoplasm
Uremia
Normocytic with high reticulocyte count 
Hemolytic anemia 
Enzyme deficiency lead to hemolytic anemia during oxidative stress
G6PD 
Condition is by ringed in bone marrow 
, sideroblastic anemia 
Type of anemia associated with ineffective production due to globin synthesis
Thalassemia and hgb E
Consequence of decreased hemoglobin concentration in blood
Hypoxia
Iron deficiency anemia in lab findings 
low in retic count
low in serum ferritin
low in serum iron
low in transferrin
high in TIBC 
Anemia of chronic disease lab findings 
Normal in Retic Count
high in serim ferritin
low in setum iron
low in transferrin
low in TIBC
Sideroblastic anemia lab findings
Low in retic
high in ferritin
high in iron
high transferrin
low in TIBC 
Thalasse lab finding
High retic
, normal ferritin
normal iron
normal transferrin
normal TIBC 
Parameters that measure different sizes of red blood cell is called
Relative distribution width
Decrease in oxygen carrying capacity of blood
Anemia
Anemia is decreased in CBC parameters of
RBC count
hemoglobin
hematocrit 
Classic symptoms of patient with anemia
Fatigue and shortness of breath
Degree of how much oxygen is found in hemoglobin
02 saturation or oxygen saturation
If a patient with anemia has oxygen in hemoglobin, it is considered as 
Normal
If patients having a rapid fall of hemoglobin concentration it has
Tachycardia
Hemoglobin concentration of moderate anemia
7 to 10 g/dl
Hemoglobin concentration in severe anemia and produces what symptoms
<7g/dl
Tachycardia
hypotension
Volume loss 
Severity of anemia is gauge by
Degree of reduction in hemoglobin cardiopulmonary adaptation
rapidity of progression in anemia 
Anemia caused by sudden loss of blood
Increase in heart rate, respiratory rate and cardiac output 
Anemia caused by slow loss of blood
Decrease hemoglobin oxygen affinity increase 2,3 BPG (bisphosphoglycerate)
