What is Microcytic-Hypochromic Anemia characterized by? - correct answer Abnormally small
erythrocytes that contain unusually reduced amounts of hemoglobin
What is the most common nutritional disorder of Microcytic-Hypochromic Anemia? - correct
answer Iron deficient anemia
How can iron deficient anemia arise? - correct answer Through inadequate dietary intake and
excessive blood loss
2 common causes of IDA in developing countries? - correct answer -pregnancy
-Chronic blood loss
What amount of blood loss can cause IDA? - correct answer 2-4mL/day (1-2mg of iron)
What is the main cause of IDA in females? - correct answer Menorrhagia
How do males experience bleeding/causes of IDA (7)? - correct answer 1. Ulcers
2. Hiatal hernias
3. Esophageal varices
4. Cirrhosis
,5. Cancer
6. Ulcerative Colitis
7. Hemorrhoids
What GI associated problems can lead to IDA? - correct answer -Occult bleeding source
-Gi cancer/lesion
Early symptoms of IDA? - correct answer -Fatigue
-Palpitations
-SOB
-Pale earlobes/palms/ conjunctivae
What is the problem with IDA symptoms? - correct answer They begin gradually and people
doesn't get help until their hgb levels decrease to 7-8 g/dL
What type of condition is aplastic anemia? - correct answer 1. A critical condition (in most
cases) caused by an autoimmune disease
2. It causes an attack against hematopoiesis by activated cytotoxic T cells
What is aplastic anemia characterized by? - correct answer Pancytopenia- A reduction or
absence of all 3 blood cell types
What does pancytopenia result from? - correct answer Failure or suppression of bone marrow
to produce adequate amounts of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes blood cells
What is anemia of chronic disease? - correct answer A common type of anemia in hospitalized
pts
,What 4 things does ACD result from? - correct answer 1. Decreased erythrocyte life span
2. Suppressed production of erythropoietin
3. Ineffective bone marrow erythroid progenitor response to
erythropoietin
4. Altered iron metabolism and iron sequestration in macrophages
What is posthemorrhagic anemia? - correct answer 1. Reduction in tissue oxygenation
stimulates production of erythropoietin and increasing production of erythrocytes
(reticulocytes) in the bone marrow
What happens as the bone marrow begins to produce more erythrocytes? - correct answer An
increase in the number of reticulocytes (10%-15% after 7 days) is seen
What is HL and what is it characterized by(3)? - correct answer 1. A malignant lymphoma
characterized by:
1. Its progression from one group of lymph nodes to another
2. the development of systemic symptoms, and 3. the presence of Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells
What are RS cells? - correct answer The most indicative sign of HL
what is often the first sign of HL? - correct answer Enlarged, painless lymph nodes in the neck
What is HIT usually caused by? - correct answer Heparin
Approximately how many individuals develop HIT after receiving unfractionated heparin? -
correct answer 4%
, What is HIT caused by? - correct answer An immune-mediated, adverse drug reaction caused by
IgG
antibodies against the heparin-platelet factor 4 complex
What is the hallmark of HIT? - correct answer Thromboctyopenia
What is thrombocytopenia? - correct answer A decrease of approximately 50% in the platelet
count seen in
approximately 95% of individuals
What is the most common type of thrombosis and what can it lead to? - correct answer -
Venous
-leads to DVT & PE
What does arterial thrombosis affect and what does it cause? - correct answer -The large
arteries of the lower extremities
-Acute limb ischemia
What major problems does AT cause? - correct answer -Cerebrovascular accidents
-Myocardial infarctions
What is DIC? What is it characterized by? - correct answer An acquired clinical syndrome
characterized by widespread
activation of coagulation
What does DIC result in? - correct answer The formation of fibrin clots in medium and small
vessels
throughout the body
