RBC DISORDERS AND MORPHOLOGY Flashcards
caused by the efflux of fluid from
the blood vessel to the interstitial fluid which causes the
hemoconcentration of the blood within the vasculature
RELATIVE POLYCYTHEMIA
influx of fluid from the interstitial tissue or
other source to the blood vessel which causes the hemodilution of the blood
RELATIVE ANEMIA
genetic problem which causes the uncontrolled or over production of the blood cells especially the red cell that causes serious health problems if intervention is not applied.
This disorder is known as “Polycythemia vera”
Primary absolute polycythemia
gene which leads to spontaneous kinase
production that causes overstimulation of the
hematopoietic cell to multiply unceasingly.
JAK2 V617F
High viscosity of blood
may cause decreased blood
tissue perfusion and cyanosis
overproduction of the red cells by the bone
marrow.
- Lab findings on this condition include
pancytosis (high RBC count, WBC count and
Platelet count), low ferritin, high LDH, high
vitamin B12, hypercellular bone marrow and
the LAP score is high reaching more
than200.
Low EPO
triggered by high EPO stimulation on the bone marrow to promote red cell production which increases the Hgb and Hct value.
Secondary polycythemia
driven HPO release
APPROPRIATE 2ndary polycythemia
- heart and lung problems such as
COPD, cigarette smoking, living or
going up on high altitudes
Hypoxia
HPO release
INAPPROPRIATE 2ndary polycythemia
- kidney disorders that accidentally
release the EPO triggering red cell
production, and example of these
are polycystic kidney and kidney
tumors.
NON-hypoxia driven
associated with inadequate intake,
increased need, impaired absorption, errors in
absorption or transport and competition for vitamins.
Vtiamin B-12
collected to measure the amount of
excreted radioactive vitamin B12 using a gamma scintillation counter
24-hour urine
Normal excretion is _______ of administered
vit-B12 in urine, LESSER = DECREASE OR
LACK OF IF IN STOMACH
> 7%
Errors in absorption includes________
syndrome where the intestine lacks the receptor site for IF-Cobalamin complex resulted to inability to absorbed the vitamin B12 from the intestine to the blood.
Imerslund-Grasbeck
syndrome
Normal flora of intestine
also compete for Vit B12
BLIND LOOP SYNDROME
may occur due to
inadequate intake, increased need, impaired
absorption
FOLATE DEFICIENCY
before developing anemia and this starts with low vitamin levels in the blood, followed
by abnormal morphology on WBC
- > 5 nuclear lobulations
HYPER-SEGMENTED NEUTROPHIL
is a psychosis hallucination due to the degeneration of neurons of the central nervous system
megaloblastic madness
decreased cell counts
Pantocytopenia
