25
Hereditary sphercytosis severity? more about RBCs
anemia MC is moderate decreased elasticity look at more under hereditary spherocytosis---you werent paying attendtion anyway
26

27
HbS who gets it
8% african amercans are heterozygous - Carriers translates to 3.5 mil 1 in 600 are homozygous = sickle cell anemia
28
sickling occurs where? common at areas of stasis--Bone Marrow
decrease in oxygen, may cause microvascular thrombi
29
here is a ton of things for sickle cell
thrombosis, fever, malaise, chronic low level pain priapism 4 hr erection, splenomegaly/infarction, gallstones Dec growth, osseous distortion

what ahppens in thalassemia
alpha or B globin genes mutated B is B mutation ---chromosome 11 alpha is alpha---- chromosome 16
34
autosomal recessive, abnomral hemoglobin production microcytic, hypochromic
Thalassemia---beta couldnt fill the blood cell up with stuff
35
the mutation of thalassemia will cause an excess of the other globin chain, what does this do?
damages RBCs---hemolysis damages erythroblasts 2 alpha, 2 beta---but cant make beta---excessive alpha
36
the decreased beta globin chain synthesis of beta-thalassemia will cause what
unpaired alpha-globin---hemolysis death of erythroblast---decrease of erythropoiesis
37
beta thallaseemia minor affects 1 allele
subtle hemolysis---aysmptomatic
38
beta-thalassemia major ---2 alleles

39
beta thalassemia is know as beta thalassemia 'trait' affects?
asympt or mild, normal life span, microcytic/microchromic Tx: may not be encessary --monitoring --occasional transfusion monitor serum ferritin---iron chelation
40
beta thalassemia major Dx:
clinical features---severe anemia, stunted growth, skeletal deform, splenomegaly, poikilocytes
41
Tx of major?
repeated transfusion and iron chelation ---dec anemia symptons & deformities ---extends life into 20s...ouch =(
42
more stuff of Major \*hair on end"---calvarium xray "lace-like trabeculation"---deformed hands
eventual iron overlaod---":hematochromatosis" lethal dilated cardiomyopathy---liver damage, failure
43
alpha thalassemia, what are we gonna see
typically less severe than B thalassemia abnormal Hb----HBH slight red o2 capacity ineffective erythropoiesis highly variable, 4 alpha globin genes
44
G6PD defeciency---x-linked
needed to mkae glutathione--antioxidant protects rbcs against oxidative stress---p
45
G6PD is asympt until exposed to stress
infections or fava beans (favism)
46
acute onset of
fatigue,pallor, splenomegaly, back/abdominal pain, hemosiderinuria(dark urine)
47
risks of G6PD
males. africans 10% of AAs areas of endemic malaria
48
tx?
depends on severity identify/terminate oxidative stress blood transfusion, partial splenectomy
49
paroxysmal Nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
dark urine upon waking
50
the mutation is a PIGA mutation = deactivates complement inhibitors
RBCs have inc complement fixation acceleration with drop pH= sleeping complement mediated hemolysis at night
51
features of PNH
chronic low level anemia (MC) inc risk for venous thrombosis
52
Tx of PNH
antibodies that inhibit the MAC marrow transplant (curative)
53
folate or Vit B12 deficiency--- B9 cobalamin
required for DNA replication megaloblastic anemia
54
what happens in megaloblastic anemia
inadequate dna rep, then production of megaloblasts macrocytes- macrocytic adn hyperchromic
55
pancytopenia for megaloblastic anemia---finish you bum
finish
56
rare, poor diet... increased metabolism --elderly, pregnant,m alcoholism, celiac
folate def. anemia folic acid denatured 10-15 mins after cooking
57
features of folate def. anemia
insidious, fatigue, weakness, sore tongue ---no neurologic dys
58
Dx. of folate def anemia
macrocytes in peripheral blood, dec., serum folate, normal vit b12
59
`pernicious anemia
vit b12 def anemia. ---DNA synthesis and maintenance of neuronal tissue PNS and spinal cord
60
whom might get pernicious anemia
strict vegans but MC is chronic malab
61
what are the chronic malabs that interfere with b12
autoimmune gastritis = dec intrinsic factor post gastrectomy
62
features of vit b123 anemia
fatigue, pallor, weakness, dyspnea demyelination of PNS& CNS (cord) -numbness, tingling, burning ---dec proprioception & ataxia

64
tx of vit b12 def
injection vit b12 neurologic recovery is unlikely

75
Tx of myelophthisic anemia
address underlying cond. then maybe a transplant?

80
go back to stuff before this
go back to stuff you missed. ya big dumb
81
next topic is lymphoid neoplasms
problems with T cell and B cells big prob is b cells---class switching
82
lymphatic mets would go to
liver, spleen, marrow, peripheral circulation
83
leukemia lymphoma
involves marrow or blood involve lymphatic tissues
84
acute leukemias onset is sudden and stormy what other features with marrow suppression
anemia, fatigue is MC feature neutropenia (fever), thrombocytopenia (bleeding) marrow expansion (bone pain) lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly
85
why marrow suppression?
results from transformed lymphoblasts "blasts" on marrow biopsy
86
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
acute tumors of lymphoblasts arrested maturation of B cells or T cells
87
types of acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Pre-B cell tumors (MC): marow/peripheral blood Pre-& Cell tumors: thymus
88
who gets ALL
children, young adults 80% of pediatric leukemias MC dx at age 4, later with T cell age 15-20
89
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
B cells, cancer combined with immunosuppression MC leukemia of adulthood, avg age, 60, males 2x indolent, initially asymptomatic, gradual prog. CLL \> 4,000 lymphocytes per microL S(small)LL \< 4,000 lymphocytes per microL
90
