|
How to evaluate anemia?
|
-excellent medical hx
-good phys exam (jaundice,lympha) -visual inspection of blood smear -CBC -indices -Reticulocyte count |
|
|
Reticulocyte count
|
how many new cells
ex) tells you BM is putting out a lot of cells if this number is high |
|
|
The complete blood count (CBC)
|
-Hematocrit (HCT)
-hemoglobin, RBC count, RBC indices -WBC count, WBC differential (what types of WBCs there are) -platelet count -blood smear |
|
|
RBC Indices
|
-MCV--> average RBC size
-MCH--> Hgb amount/ RBC -MCHC--> amount of Hgb relative to the size of the cell ([Hgb]) / RBC |
|
|
What is the difference between Hgburia vs Hematuria?
|
-Hgburia is indicative of hemolysis whereas hematuria is a sign of either kidney disease or UTIs b/c it is the whole RBC in the urine
|
|
|
What are the 3 categories of Erythrocytosis?
|
-Polycythemia Vera
-Secondary Polycythemia -Relative polycythemia |
|
|
Polycythemia Vera
|
-is malignant disease in stem cells
-there is also platelet and WBC count elevation |
|
|
Relative Polycythemia
|
-set of diseases where there is dehydration
*remember, hematocrit is a % w/ the liquid |
|
|
Relative Anemias
|
1. Hypersplenism --> there is enough RBCs but they are all in the spleen
2. Increase plasma volume (pregos)--> NOT true anemia! |
|
|
Anemia - Decreased production
|
-Aplastic anemia (retic count will be low as well)
-B12, Iron, Folate defiencies -Chronic disease and inflammmation -Renal or endocrine diseases -Pure RBC aplasia -Sideroblastic anemia |
|
|
Anemia Classification Based on Morphology
|
1. Microcytic hypochromic
2. Normocytic normochromic 3. Macrocytic 4. Combination or partial Rx |
