Q

Etiology of immune hydrops

A

Immunization of mother by exposure to other blood type via placenta or birth causes formation of IgM abs, exposure during a second pregnancy leads to an IgG response

Q

Mechanism for generalized hydrops

A

severe hemolysis leads to hypoxic injury to heart and liver, decreasing albumin and leading to heart failure; increased hydrostatic pressure and decreased oncotic pressure

25
Erythroblastosis fetalis
Alloimmune hemolytic anemia, Rh incompatibility Microscopically: polychromatophilic macrocytes (CHARACTERISTIC), nucleated RBCs, ejected nuclei
26
Clinical manifestations of fetal hydrops
pallor, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, generalized edema, neuro injury
27
Definition of inborn errors of metabolism
group of rare genetic diseases resulting from defect in enzyme or transport protein that results in a block of metabolic pathway
28
Common abnormalities suggesting IEM
deafness, abnormal hair, hydrops, seizures, hypotonia, poor feeding, cataract, cherry red macula, myopathy
29
Two categories of IEM
disorders that result in toxic accumulation, disorders of energy production and utilization
30
Goals of IEM treatment
prevent substance accumulation, eliminate toxic metabolite, correct metabolite abnormality
31
PKU etiology
deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase and resultant hyperphenylalanemia
32
When do PKU signs start to appear?
about 6 mo after birth - mental disability; will eventually lead to seizures, decreased pigmentation, eczema
33
Maternal PKU etiology
hyperphenylalanemia in asymptomatic mothers leading to teratogenic effects of phenylalanine on developing fetus
34
Clinical signs of PKU
musty odor to urine, light hair and skin, brain damage
35
Diagnosis of PKU
not determined with screening tests because of significant number of genes involved, must use blood test to differentiate benign hyperphenylalanemia from PKU
36
What form of PKU cannot be treated by dietary restriction?
abnormalities in recycling BH4 (cofactor for PAH)
37
Etiology of galactosemia
Lack of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase or galactokinase (rare)
38
Pathogenesis of galactosemia
Build up of glactose-1-phosphate in liver, spleen, eye lens, kidney, heart, cerebral cortex leading to build up of galactitol and galactonate

isotonic but low volume surface fluid layer, defective mucociliary action and viscid secretions
48
Class I CF
defective protein synthesis, complete CFTR lack
49
Class II CF
abnormal protein folding, processing, or trafficking; MOST COMMON
50
Class III CF
defective regulation, normal amt of CFTR but non functional
51
Class IV CF
decreased conductance, mutation in transmembrane domain
52
Class V CF
reduced abundance, reduced amount of normal protein
53
Class VI CF
altered regulation of ion channels

idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, late-onset chronic pulmonary disease, idiopathic bronchiectasis, obstructive azoospermia
55
Environmental modifiers of CF
virulence of organisms, therapeutic efficacy, concurrent infections, tobacco or allergen exposure
56
Genetic modifiers of CF
gene polymorphisms in MBL2, TGFB1, IFRD1 (all modify lungs ability to resist infection
57
Common gross morphological changes in CF
pancreatic insufficiency, defective mucociliary action; SWEAT GLANDS morphologically UNaffected
58
Morphological changes of pancreas in CF
atrophy of exocrine portion of pancreas, impaired absorption, squamous metaplasia of pancreatic ducts, meconium ileus
59
Morphological changes of liver in CF
bile canaliculi plugged by mucus, steatosis
60
Morphological changes of salivary glands in CF
progressive ductual dilation, squamous metaplasia, glandular atrophy and fibrosis
61
Pulmonary changes in CF
viscous secretions lead to obstruction and infection, distended bronchioles, hyperplasia and hypertrophy of goblet cells, abscesses
62
