HEPATIC/LIVER
35
excess accumulation of iron results from acquired or hereditary conditions in which the body’s rate of iron acquisition exceeds the rate of loss
IRON OVERLOAD
36
excess iron are stored in the form of ferritin and hemosiderin (non-metabolically active form of ferritin) within cells.
IRON OVERLOAD
37
IRON OVERLOAD accumulation of iron in the macrophages, with less parenchymal injury
ACQUIRED Transfusion-related hemosiderosis
38
IRON OVERLOAD -mutations of HFE gene remain the most common - individuals usually harbor 20 to 30 g of iron by the time their disease usually becomes clinically evident - accumulation of iron in the parenchymal cells, with tissue injury - traditional characterization: Bronzed diabetes
Hereditary hemochromatosis
39
Elevated transferrin saturation or serum ferritin Abnormal results on common tests of liver function
IRON OVERLOAD
40
- defective nuclear maturation due to impaired DNA synthesis due to Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency - the resulting DNA is nonfunctional, DNA replication process is incomplete, and cell division is halted - ineffective erythropoiesis
MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA
41
- defective nuclear maturation due to impaired DNA synthesis due to Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency - the resulting DNA is nonfunctional, DNA replication process is incomplete, and cell division is halted - ineffective erythropoiesis
MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA
42
Causes of Folate deficiency:
- Inadequate intake - Increased need - impaired absorption - impaired use of folate - excessive loss of folate
43
Causes of Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Inadequate intake - increased need - impaired absorption 1. Failure to separate vitamin B12 from food proteins 2. Failure to separate vitamin B12 from haptocorin 3. Lack of intrinsic factor 4. Malabsorption 5. Competition for vitamin B12
44
- is an autoimmune disorder characterized by impaired absorption of vitamin B12 due to a lack of intrinsic factor
Pernicious Anemia
45
- production of antibodies to intrinsic factor and gastric parietal cells - autoantibodies are directed against the a- and b- subunit of the gastric H+/K+ -ATPase, a hydrogen transporting enzyme, responsible for the acidification of the stomach lumen
Pernicious Anemia
46
- caused by mutations in the genes for either cubilin or amnionless
Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome
47
Systemic manifestations of folate and vitamin B12 deficiency:
- general symptoms related to anemia - glossitis - gastritis, nausea, constipation - neurologic symptoms may be pronounced and may even occur in the absence of anemia (Vitamin B12 deficiency)

Laboratory diagnosis: SCREENING TESTS MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA
CBC PBS BILIRUBIN LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE
50
decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, pancytopenia, reticulocytopenia
CBC
51
oval macrocytes, hypersegmented neutrophils with six or more lobes, nucleated RBCs, Howell-Jolly bodies, basophilic stippling, Cabot rings
PBS
52
increased
Bilirubin Lactate dehydrogenase
53
- are macrocytic anemias in which DNA is unimpaired - lack hypersegmented neutrophils and oval macrocytes in the peripheral blood and megaloblasts in the bone marrow
Macrocytic nonmegaloblastic anemias
54
Remains the reference confirmatory test to identify megaloblastic appearance of the developing RBCs
Bone marrow examination
55
Competitive binding chemiluminesence
Serum Vitamin B12
56
GC-MS
Methylmalonic acid
57
Used to diagnose pernicious anemia
Schillings test
58
Pathophysiology includes: - destruction of hematopoietic stem cells due to injury by drugs, chemicals, radiation, viruses, or autoimmune mechanisms - premature senescence and apoptosis - ineffective hematopoiesis due to stem cell mutations or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency - disruption of the bone marrow microenvironment that supports hematopoiesis - decreased production of hematopoietic growth factors or related hormones - loss of normal hematopoietic tissue
BONE MARROW FAILURE
59
include pancytopenia, reticulocytopenia, bone marrow hypercellularity, and depletion of hematopoietic stem cells
APLASTIC ANEMIA
60
Acquired Aplastic Anemia Two major categories:
1. Idiopathic acquired aplastic anemia - 70% 2. Secondary acquired aplastic anemia - 10%-15%
