Q

Hemoglobin development

A
Embryonic globins (zeta and epsilon)
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF)= a2y2
Adult hemoglobin (HbA2)= a2B2
Adult hemoglobin (HbA2)= a2d2 (rare)
HbF has a higher affinity for O2 due to less avid binding of 2-3BPG (2-3 BPG tells hemoglobin to release O2), so having less 2-3BPG makes fetal Hgb hold on to O2 more

At birth Hgb is about 50/50 HbF and HbA

Q

ABO and Rh classification

A

A group has the Anti B antibody (IgM) to B Ag, has the A antigen on it
B group has the Anti A antibody (IgM)
AB group has no antibodies
O group has both antibodies, and they are in IgM and IgG

Rh classification

+ (has the Ag)

Rh - no Ag, so has Anti D antibody (an IgG) (give moms IgG during and after each pregnancy)

Q

Hemolytic disease of the newborn AKA erythroblastosis fetalis

A

An Rh - mom with an Rh+ baby
First pregnancy: mom exposed to fetal blood (dutring delivery)-> formation of maternal anti-D IgG. Subsequent pregnancy- antiD IgG crosses the placenta and attacks the Fetal RBCs–> hemolysis in the fetus. Hydrops fetalis, jaundice, kernicterius. Prevent by administrating antiD IgG to Rh - moms during third trimenster and peripartum if fetus turns our +. Prevents maternal anti-D IgG production

ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn- Type O mom type A or B fetus, pre exisiting maternal anti-A or anti B cross IgG antibodies cross placenta–> hemolysis in the fetus. Mild jaundice in the neonate in 24 hours, can occur in the first born, Treatment: phototherapy or exchange transfusion

Q

Primary hemostasis

A

Formation of a platelet plug (endothelial cells contain in the Wieble Palade bodies- vWF and Pselectin with factor 8) they also contain thromboplastin and tPA and PGI2

  1. Injury to the endothelium–> transient vasoconstriction via neural stimulation reflex and endothelin (from damaged cell)
  2. Exposure: vWf binds to exposed collagen
  3. Adhesion: platlets bind vWF bia Gp1b receptor at site of injury–> platelets undergo confirmational change–> Platelets release ADP(allows for exposure of Gp2b3a), TXA2 ( via COX chemotactic for platelets) and Ca+ (needed for coagulation cascade)
  4. Activation ADP binding to P2Y12 receptor induces Gp2b/3a expression on platelet surface
  5. Aggregation: Fibrinogen binds Gp2b3a receptos and links platelets

31
Iron deficiency anemia
low iron due to chronic bleeding (GI loss, menorrhagia), malnutrition, absorption disorders, GI surgery, or increased demand (pregnancy) decreased final step in heme synthesis (Ferrochelatase cant add iron to protoporphyrin in the mitochondira) labs: decreased iron, increased TIBC, decreased ferritin (stores), increesed free erythrocyte protoporphyrin, increased RDW ( you have some small and some normal size), decreased Index Symptoms: fatigue, pallor, pica, spoon nails low hemoglobin->low myoglobin May manifest as glottitis, cheilosis, Plummer vinson syndrome (triad of iron deficiency anemia, esophageal webs and dysphagia- you dont eat steak bc of webs, then low iron)
32
Iron transport
iron is consumed, absorption occurs in duodenum via DMT1 transporters, the heme form is more readily absorbed from animals Enterocytes transport the iron across the cell membrane into blood via ferroportin Transferrin transports the iron in the blood and delivers it to liver and bone marrow for macrophage storage Storred intracellular iron is bound to ferritin, preventing iron from producing free radicals Serum iron is iron in the blood TIBC- measure of transferrin (when iron stores are depleted- you send out more scavengers) percent saturation- normal=33% Serum ferritin- reflects iron stores in macrophages and the liver
33
alpha thalessemia
a-globin gene deletion, there are 4 alpha genes on chromosome 16--> decreased alpha globin synethesis. cis deletio (same chromosome, happens in asians) Trans on different chromosomes (pravelent in africans normal is aa/aa aa/a- athal minor, no anemia a-/a- (trans) , or aa/- - (cis) a thal minor, mild microcytic, hypochromic anemia, cis deletion my worsen outcome for carriers offspring) a-/ - - hemoglobin H disease (HbH) ecess B globin, forms tetraterms, moderate to severe microcytic hypochromic anemia - -/ - - (hemoglobin barts disease, excess y globin gene, hedrops fetalis

39
folate metabolism
Folate circulates in the serum as methyl-THF, you need to remove methyl group to have DNA synthesis Vit B12 takes the methyl group, homocysteine takes the methyl group from B12-->methionin To make homocysteine you need methylmalonic acid
40
Vit B12 deficiency
causes pernicious anemia, malabsorption (Crohns disease), pancreatic insufficiency gastrectomy, insufficient intake (vegans), Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm) increased homocysteine (cant take the methyl group), increased methylmalonic acid Neuro symptoms- reversible dementia, subacute combined degeneration (due to involvement of B12 in FA pathways and myelin synthesis) Spinocerebellar tract, lateral corticospinal tract, dorsal column dysfunction Folate supplementation when really a B12 deficiency can correct the anemia, but neuro symptoms worsen Liver can store B12 for yearns

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma
usually in kids, Tcell ALL can present with mediastinal mass (SVC-like syndrome) Associated with down syndrome Peripheral blood and marrow have an increase in lymphoblasts TdT+ (marker of pre-T and pre B cell, CD 10 + )marker of pre B cells) Most responsive to therapy May spread to CNS and testes t 12,21--> better brognosis
97
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ small lymphocytic lymphoma
Older, Most common adult leukemia CD20+ , CD23+, CD 5+ B cell neoplasms Often asymptomatic, progresses slowly, smudge cells in peripheral smear, autoimmune hemolytic anemia CLL= Crushed Little lymphocytes (smudge cells) Richter transformation CLL SLL
98
Hairy cell leukemia
Adult males Mature B cell tumor, Cells have hair projections, peripheral lymphadenopathy is uncommon Causes marrow fibrosis (dry ttrap on aspirtation associated with BRAF Treatment: Cladribine, pentostatin
99
Acute myelogenous leukemia
``` Auer rods (MPO condensates) usually acute promyelocytic --> increased circulating myeloblasts on peripheral smear ``` Risk factors: alkylating chemotherapy, radiation, myeloproliferative disorders, Down syndrom APL (t15 17) responds to all trans retinoic acid vit A
100
CML
Philidelphia chromosome, t 9 22 (BCR-ABL) Mature and matureing granulocutes very low Alk Phos (cells not appropriate) Responds to BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhbitiors (Imatinib)
101
Chronic myeloproliferative
malignant hematopoietic neoplasms with varying impacts on WBCs and myeloid cell lines Polycythemia vera (acquired JAK2 mutation)- may present as intense itching after shower, svere burning pain, decreased EPO. Treatment is phelbotomy, hydroxyurea, ruxlininiv (JAK 1/2 inhbitor) Essential thrombocythemia: characterized by massive proliferation of megakaryocytes, bleeding and thrombosis, Myelofibrosis: Obliteation of bone marrow with fibrosis (increased fibroblast activity, associated with massive splenomegaly and teardrop,
102
LANGERHANS CELL histiocytosis
Collective group of proliferative disorders Presents un a child as lytic bone lesions and skin rash or as a recuttent otitis media witha mass in the mastoid Cells are immature and dont activate T cells ``` Cells express S100 mesodermal origin and CD1a Bierbech franules (tennis rackets or rod shaped on EM ```
103
Tumor lysis syndrome
Oncologic emergency Release of K and PO4-- Ca++ gets sequesterd by PO4--- Increased nucleic acid breakdown--> hyperuricemia--> AKI Prevention via aggressive hydration, allopurinol, rasburicase
