Q

Define microagiopathic anemia (MAHA) and example diseases (extravascular HA)

Q

Define macroagiopathic anemia and example diseases (extravascular HA).

A

Prosthetic heart valves and Aortic Stenosis may cause HA secondary to MECHANICAL destruction of RBCs.

Q

Pathogenesis of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura

A
  • Hereditary – ADAMTS13 gene mutation
  • Acquired – autoantibodies at ADAMTS13
  • “Von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease” (degrades vWF) = ADAMTS13.
  • ADAMTS13 inhibition = decreased vWF degredation = increased platelet aggregation and thrombosis

Q

What is the most common cause of hypercoagulabilty?

A

Initiation of warfarin therapy because PRotein C and S are depleted prior to other factors, resulting in increased coagulablity.

Q

Treatment of Hemophilia A

A

25
Antithrombin 3 deficiency treatment
- Prophylactic treatment with anticoagulants - Patients with DVT should receive heparin but in higher doses - AT-III replacement therapy, if don’t respond to heparin
26
Action of protein C
inactivates Factors 5 and 8
27
Use what in Protein C deficiency to decrease risk of thromboembolic disease?
warfarin
28
What is antithrombin 3? What amplifies it?
serine protease that inhibits activation of thrombin. - Heparin amplifies activity - In absence of antithrombin3, hypercoagulablity
29
Most common cause of hypercoagulable state from deficiency in Protein C or S
initiation of warfarin therapy
30
Factor 5 Leiden is what classification of disease?
thrombotic
31
Treatment of Factor 5 Leiden (Defect) | -No prior episodes v. prior episodes
o No prior episodes: monitor; DVT prophylaxis and risk reduction o Prior episodes: add lifelong anticoagulation
32
Three test used to diagnose antiphospholipid Syndrome
1. Prolonged phospholipid dependent coagulation test (PTT) 2. Lack of correction in mixing studies using normal plasma 3. Neutralization of inhibitor with excess phospholipid
33
What is the most common preventable cause of death?
DVT
34
What is Virchow's Triad?
vessel wall damage, blood coaguability, altered blood flow
35
What is this? - Body makes antibodies to virus - Antigens on virus look like glycoproteins on platelets - Now platelets are circulation with antibodies on it platelets getting destroyed - Spleen should be big
Acute Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
36
Management of Acute ITP
o PREDNISONE 1mg/kg/day o Begin tapering does after a week o If this doesn’t work immune globulin o If person is a type one diabetic – sugar will be bouncing off the wall if on prednisone, so - 1)Put him on IV IG Or 2) give SPLENECTOMY (can be partial)
37
What is this? | Dolle bodies, increased toxic granulations, no schistocytes, PT/PTT abnormal
DIC
38
Management of DIC
o Treat underlying cause o Until that’s fixed – fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate o Platelet transfusion o Red cell count drops then transfuse red cells
39
What is this? | *****White/painful fingers + extremely high platelets (1.2M) =
Erythromyalgia also, possibly blurred vision
40
Treatment of erythromyalgia
aspirin
41
What is this? - causes hypercalcemia - suppresses levels of uninvolved immunoglboins - they have weird infection problems b/c no antibodies around, just ONE antibody immunoglobin that is involved in one major way - myeloma cells produce osteoclast activating factors that causes elevated calcemia - causes suppression of osteoblastic activity lytic bone lesions lots of free calcium
Multiple myeloma
42
****What test MUST you do when you suspect Multiple myeloma?
Skeletal survey, NOT A BONE SCAN Also, se M spike
43
***treatment of multiple myeloma
thalidomide or linolidamide (angiogenesis inhibitor) + dexamethosone (steroid)
44
Using bisphosmate in MM patients can cause what?
Myeloma kidney
45
Ducher + congo red =
Amyloidosis (seen in pts with plasma cell dyscrasia) Dutcher bodies
46
heavy chain disease + truncated alpha chains = ? (Presents with mesenteric adenopathy, diarrhea/malabsorption probelms, etc.) Treat this with...?
alpha heavy chain disease treated with ANTIMICROBIALS, NOT chemo
47
Indicative of __? • Chromosome 5,7 • Trisomy 8 • Inversion 1
MDS
48
Treat 5q-Syndrome with what?
lenalidomide
49

51
Parvo and thymomas can cause what?
pure red cell aplasia
52
*******treatment for aplastic anemia
********cyclosporin and anti-thymocyte globulin
53
Maltese cross = ? and can cause ___
babesiosis = HA
54
A pt has high risk MDS. The only curative modality for this is? Pt has severe aplastic anemia - curative modality?
allogenic stem cell transplantation
55
MDS presents with? | MPD presents with?
MDS - cytopenia, infection | MPS - anemia, SM, B symptoms
56
hydroxyuria does what?
Increases HbF - use in sickle cell
57
When are increases in HbF beneficial in Sickle cell anemia?
- painful episodes, Acute Chest Syndrome, Osteonecrosis, Leg ulcers
58
