◉ Normocytic Anemia.
Answer: Due to hemorrhage or chronic disease. Aplastic anemia. MCV
80-92
◉ Macrocytic Anemia.
Answer: Due to folate or vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency
(megaloblastic anemia)/pernicious anemia/liver diseases
◉ Serum Ferritin.
Answer: Tests for iron stores. As serum ferritin falls, TIBC rises, and
serum iron levels will eventually fall.
◉ Anemia of Chronic Disease.
Answer: Normocytic anemia with ↓ serum iron, ↓ TIBC, and normal
iron stores. Treat with epoetin and give an iron supplement
◉ Schistocytes.
Answer: Associated with hemolytic uremia syndrome
◉ Pernicious Anemia.
,Answer: Macrocytic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. B12 is
essential to maturation of erythrocytes - low levels will cause the RBC
to expand. PPIs and histamine2 blockers can cause this.
◉ Increased Homocysteine & Methylmalonic Acid Level.
Answer: Indicates B12 deficiency
◉ Increased Homocysteine Levels.
Answer: Folate deficiency
◉ Spherocytes.
Answer: Appear as spheres, lack central pallor, smaller diameter,
indicate immune-mediated process - can be seen after blood transfusion
◉ Aplastic Anemia.
Answer: Failure of bone marrow to produce red blood cells
◉ Low Ferritin.
Answer: Iron Deficiency Anemia
◉ Transferrin.
Answer: Transports Iron
◉ TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity).
, Answer: Available transferrin that is left unbound. Reflects iron levels.
◉ MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration).
Answer: Concentration of hemoglobin per RBC
◉ Alzheimer's Disease.
Answer: Gradual onset with early memory impairment. Most common
form of dementia.
◉ Lewy Body Dementia.
Answer: Rapidly progressive dementia seen with Parkinson syndrome.
Visual hallucinations present.
◉ Frontal Lobe Dementia.
Answer: Personality impairments before age 60. PDG-PET Scan testing.
◉ PDG-PET Scan.
Answer: Measures brain glucose metabolism. Decreased uptake in
Alzheimer's.
◉ SSRIs.
Answer: Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, Citalopram
◉ Cholinesterase Inhibitors.
