1.caused by inc FE req, dec GI absorption or blood loss
|
|
Hypochromic, Microcytic Anemia= Fe deficiency anemia
2.signs and symptoms |
S/S

|
Hypochromic, Microcytic Anemia= Fe deficiency anemia
3.Labs |
Labs

|
Hypochromic, Microcytic Anemia= Fe deficiency anemia
4.Tx |
Tx
-ferrous iron -vitC enhances the GI absorption of ferrous iron |
|

4.S/S of vitB12 deficiency |
S/S (dec B12)
-same as folate +neuro symptoms -parasthesias of distal extremities -sensory disturbances my progress caused by demyelination of nerve fibers in the dorsolateral spinal column -B12 is necessary for the conversion of methylmalony coA to succinyl CoA which is needed for the syntheseis of myelin |

5.peripheral blood smears |
-peripheral blood smears CANNOT be used to differentiate b/t the two
|
|
Normochromic, Macrocytic (Megaloblastic) anemia
6. folate intake |

-this reflects dietary intake over the past 2-3mos |
|
Normochromic, Macrocytic (Megaloblastic) anemia
7.vitB12 GI stuff |
-B12 deficiency usually occurs from lack of GI absoption
-a schilling's test is used to measure the efficiency of B12 absoprtion from the GI tract |
|

-this tx is continued for LIFE |
|
pt w/normochromic,macrocytic anemia has distal paresthesias. pt is tx with po folate and the anemia dissapears, but the neuro S/S worsen. WHat happened?
|
-folate will correct the megaloblastic anemia

|
WHY?
-hd removes plasma folate WHAT TO DO? -pts on hd must be tx with EPO, folate and ferrous iron |
|
pt w/HCT 24 is started on hd. After tx w/EPO, folate and ferrous iron, the pt develops HTN. WHY?
|
-the HCT is inc by inc production of RBC's-> viscosity of blood rises.
-accoring to Poiseulle's law, resistance is directly related to viscosity -BP increases |
|

|
-DEXAMETHASONE: b/c it will depress serum cotisol by 50% in adrenal hypeerplais caused by pituitary adenoma, but have no effect on serum cortisol in adrenal carcinoma
|
|
which drug will inc the urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids (testosterone) in a pt w/bilatyeral adrenal hyperplasia (Cushings dz) w/o affecting the urinary 17-OH-steroids (cortisol) in a pt with adrenal carcinoma?
|
-Metyrapone blosck the cyp45011 that converts 11-DOC to cortisol so there is no cortisol feedback to inhibit the pituitary
-ACTH rises and stimulates adrenal steroid synthesis causing even more 11-DOC to be prodeuced -this generalized inc in adrenal steroid synth also inc the synth of testosterone which is metabloized to 17ketosteroids->so the urinary excretion of 17ks also inc -in a pt with adrenal CA, cortisol produced by the tumor suppresses ACTH release so the nml adrenal cortex atrophies and thus cannot respond to the inc in ACTH |
|
which drug will suppress plasma cortisol in a pt with normal pituitary/adrenal fxn?
|
-ketoconazole blocks the cyp450scc
|
|
which drug can cause a "medical adrenalectomy"?

Sulfonylureas
-tolbutamide -chlorpropamide -glyburide -glipizide |
Sulfonylureas:tolbutamide,chlorpropamide,glyburide,glipizide
-MOA: depolarize beta-islet cells by blocking ATP-sensitive K+ channels; insulin released -Used to tx T2DM -S/E: hypoglycemia |
|
Metformin and Rosiglitazone
|
-the glitazones dec insulin resistance primarily in Sk m and fat cells
-used to tx T2DM |
|

|
-metformin
-b/c metformin increases glucose utilization via anaerobic pathways -glucose->lactate |
|
