Q

What is Thalassemia?

A

Think produces different types of shapes and sizes cells =poikocytosis

  1. Hereditary anemias in which alpha or beta globulin synthesis is reduced
  2. Results in defective hemoglobinization of RBCs (can’t get enough hemoglobin into cells)

Q

What is the pathophysiology of TTP?

● Leads to narrowed lumen which causes hemolytic anemia

What is Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)

A

Defined as platelets <150K or >50% drop from baseline
● Type 1: hours to day after receiving heparin
● Type 2: 4-14 days after receiving heparin (mean 9 days)
● Delayed: 9-40 days (rare)
● Heparin works by blocking the conversion of Factor X to Factor Xa and conversion of
prothrombin to thrombin = prevents clotting cascade from forming stable fibrin clot
● LMWH blocks conversion of only Factor X to Factor Xa
● With HIT ® Ab formation takes away functional platelets
