Q

How would you best classify this patient’s anaemia?

What terms describe the red cell appearances?

What is the most likely reason for this patient’t anaemia?

A

Normocytic

Acanthocytes (burr cells), schistocytes (fragments), anisocytosis (diff shapes), poikilocytosis (diff sizes)

Erythropoietin deficiency. (Anaemia due to chronic renal failure and consequent EPO deficiency, anaemia usually normocytic with red cells showing abnormalities including spicules and “burr” cells. Red cell fragments may be seen with renal vascular disease).

Q

What can you see in this CXR?

What is this caused in congestive heart failure?

A

Pulmonary oedema. Bat wings (bilateral perihilar shadowin due to fluid accumulation)

Heart unable to pump blood efficiently, blood can back up into veins that take blood through lungs. As pressure in these BV increases. fluid is pushed into alveoli in lungs, reducing normal O2 movement.

What are the salient features of his blood film (above)?

How would you best classify his anaemia?

What are the key factors leading to the development of this patient’s anaemia?

A

Polychromasia (high number of immature RBC), basket cells (bite/blister cells)

Non-spherocytic haemolytic anaemia

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and ingestion of fava beans. (Most sig in Mediterraneans, sex-linked male inheritance, female carriers show half the normal G6PD cell value.

G6PD reduces NADP while oxidising glucose-6-phosphate. It’s the only source of NADPH in red cells and deficiency renders cell susceptible to oxidant stress. Deficiency usually asymptomatic, but in response to oxidant stress e.g. drugs, fava beans, or infections, acute haemolytic anaemia develops. Heinz bodies are formed in red cells in response to oxidant stress and are removed by the spleen, leading to acute intravascular haemolysis with haemoglobinuria. Heinz body removal leaves ‘basket’ or ‘bite’ red cells.)
