mechanism of polycythemia vera
EPO: high/low
jak2 mutation causing proliferation of bone marrow stem cells
EPO low( jak2 mutation don’t care about EPO
high Hb, pain in fingertips, pruritus with exposure to hot water: Dx & treatment
Phlebotomy
Polycythemia vera
old, fatigue, Hb low: cause
GI bleed
diverticular bleed
colorectal cancer
angiodysplasia
smoker, COPD+high Hb mechanism?
EPO level?
2nd polycythemia
high EPO d/t low O2
smoker, Polycythemia , hypercalcemia, high creatinine
Renal cell carcinoma
d/t paraneoplastic PTHrP secretion
Bleed Time increase (2-7min)
Bleeding on surfaces
vWF
platelet adhesion
school age kids with viral infection
+epistaxis, bruising/petechiae, low platelet.
ITP
Low platelet, high bleeding Time, random bruising 30-40F
ITP
30F random bruise+BT 6,
domestic abuse
40F bruise +BT 9
ITP(idiopathic/immune thrombocytopenia purpura
35F +viral infection+epistaxis ITP DX confirm with:
low platelet
13M + epistaxis +BT 9
ITP
Teen cough, coryza, epistaxis
antibodies against
glycoproteins IIB/IIIA
HS type II
Teen nose bleed, very low platelet manage with
Initial treatment?
No response?
steroid
Non responsive: IVIG
Teen nose bleed, very low platelet , effective way to decrease recurrence
splenectomy
NOT steroid (only initial treatment)
Teen +viral infection+ low neutrophil
next best step
viral induced neutropenia
immediate IV broad-spectrum antibiotic
Teen +viral infect. Neutropenia, fever +antibiotics. Restore Neutrophill with?
GM-CSF (IL3)
child +pancytopenia+low platelet+viral DX
B19
aplastic anemia
32F+ arthritis+ Hb 9+WBC 3k+ Platelet 90k mechanism
note no viral infection
increased peripheral destruction
autoantibodies
antiphospholid
overactive thyroid treatment low WBC(neutrophil 5%
Drug-induced neutropenia
methimazole & propylthiouracil
drug causing agranulocytosis
ganciclovire (CMV)
Clozapine (anti-psychotic0)
methortrexat(DMARD)
ticlopidine(anti-platelet )
child with absent or hypo plastic thumb low Hb, WBC, platelet
falconi anemia
AR aplastic anemia
pure RBC aplasia
triphalangeal thumb (Diamond-blackfan anemia
Thymoma associated with anemia
pure RBC aplasia
