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
What is. the most common condition associated with DIC?
Correct Answer Sepsis
What are people with DIC at high risk for? Correct Answer
Hemorrhage
How does DIC cause secondary hemorrhage? Correct
Answer Extensive clotting consumes clotting factors and
platelets leading to widespread hemorrhage
What are primary adenomas? Correct Answer Benign
slow growing tumors that arise from cells of the anterior
pituitary
What do local expansions of pituitary adenomas cause?
Correct Answer Neurologic and secretory defects
What do the adenomatous tissue secrete? Without regard
to what 2 things? Correct Answer The hormone of the cell
type from which it arose.
-Regard to physiological needs & benefit of regulatory
feedback mechanisms
What is the pressure produced by a pituitary adenoma
associated with? What is it result in? Correct Answer
Decreased function of neighboring anterior pituitary cells
-Results in Hyposecretion of other anterior pituitary
hormones
