acquired defect at stem cell level produce sever structural abnormalites during maturation with premature cell destuction
myelodysplastic syndromes
what disease? pt has peripheral cytopenia - hypercellular bm - cytologically abnormal cells in bm and peripheral blood
myelodysplastic syndromes
what are pesudo pelger huet cells and when would you see these cells
pmn with only 1 or 2 lobes - seen in myelodysplatic syndromes
blasts must be >20% of the cellularity for a diagnosis of ____________
acute leukemia
Blast count of <20% are seen in are seen in what 2 syndromes
myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes.
type of leukemia consists of blasts of either T cells or B cells
ALL
type of leukemia consists of blasts with characteristics of myeloid cells (granulocytes &monocyte & megakaryocytes & erythrocytes)
AML
what is the reason for iron loss in adults vs children
adult - blood loss child - dietary insuffiency
3 cell type that have ferroportin receptors
mucosal cells / reticuloendothelial cells and hepatocyte - bind transferrin with Fe
water soluble iron-protein complex made up of a protein shell and an iron-phosphatehydroxide core. Iron constitutes up to 20% of the weight of the molecule.
Ferritin
water insoluble storage iron complexes that results from the partial digestion of ferritin. They represent another form of storage iron. Granules of thes substance seen in interstial area near macrophage
Hemosiderins
state of iron overload where iron has saturated various cells in body such as endrocrine glands - pancrease - heart - hepatocyte causing damage to the organs
hemochromatosis
Controls movement of iron. Protien made in the hepatocyte. Inhibits iron absorption by dampening the ferroportin.
Hepcidin
Hemochromatosis gene and resultant controller substance for the transferrin receptor
HFE
receptor which provides attachment of molecules such as iron and zinc on the luminal end of mucosal cells in duodenum and jejunum allowing entry of these molecules into the cell
DMT - 1 = divalent metal ion transfer protien
what protien is found in the base of cells in the crypt of microvilli in the duodenum and jejunum and provide attachment of transferrin and iron uptake
HFE = hemochromatosis protien
what effect does an inc in ferritin have on divalent metal transporters?
dec activity of transporter
• Microcytic anemia • May be hypochromic • Low serum ferritin • Low serum iron and a saturation of the TIBC less than 10%. • Blood film shows MCHC red cells and anisicytosis. what type of anemia is this?
iron deficiency anemia
what anemia has the following mechanism? • Shortened RBC survival (40-80 days). • Failure to increase the erythropoitin in response to the anemia. ->The anemia is limited - most often no lower than 8.0 gm/dl. ->The serum ferritin is normal or increased also iron is low but the saturation of the TIBC is 10- 25%. ->NORMOCYTIC (ACCORDING TO LECTURE)
ACD
what type of anemia has the following causes: • Inherited as an X linked recessive disorder. • Acquired due to: – A myelodysplastic disorder (RARS) – Secondary to malignant diseases. – Due to drugs (chloramphenacol) or toxins (alcohol or lead)
sideroblastic anemia
what anemia has the following characteristics? The common feature is that there is a failure to form heme though the building blocks are available. If there is iron available but protoporphyrin is not and the iron accumulates in the mitochondria. If iron cannot be plugged into the porphyrin then the iron accumulates.
sideroblastic anemia
any state of iron overload with no organ damage
Hemosiderosis
what diseases can secondarly lead to hemochromatosis?
thalassemia PK deficiency other hemolytic states
