Thrombocytopenia

and with this treatment comes a lot of side effects like myelosuppression (Thompson 2000). Patient that get Myelosuppression are sometimes diagnosed with anemia which is a disease that results from low level of oxygenated red blood cells and thrombocytopenia which is a decrease in the amount of platelets that a patients has (Thompson 2000). Leukemia affects the cardiovascular system by forcing the clotting cascade to start and also activating accelerated fibrinolysis which leads to bleeding in…

magnesium in the blood), and hyponatremia (low levels of sodium). There are also some life-threatening adverse reactions such as; ototoxicity (damage to hearing or balance functions of the ear), nephrotoxicity (poisonous effects on the kidney), thrombocytopenia (deficiency of platelets in the blood), agramulocytosis (deficiency of granulocytes in the blood, increasing vulnerability to infection), neuromuscular blockade (paralysis of the affected skeletal muscles), and liver damage.…

Sickle Cell Disorder [ICD-10 D57] Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD) may be one cause to this child’s previously listed symptoms. SCD is an inherited disease in which an abnormal hemoglobin S [HbS] leads to chronic hemolytic anemia, pain, and organ failure (Grossman & Porth, 2014). SCD is transmitted by a recessive gene and can manifest as a sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease. The sickle cell trait may manifest as a heterozygote with one HbS gene [HbS], and SCD may manifest as a homozygote with…

blood making cells. Patients with CLL will not make enough RBC, WBC or platelets. 5 This can lead to anemia (shortage of RBC), Leukopenia (shortage of WBC), Neutropenia (shortage of neutrophils; this can lead to serious bacterial infections), or Thrombocytopenia (shortage of blood platelets which can lead to excess bruising or bleeding). 5 CLL is a cancer of B lymphocytes which normally make antibodies which can help fight infection. With CLL present, the antibodies are not made properly so they…

retrieve a diagnostic and therapeutic paracentesis to check for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, take weekly ciprofloxacin for prophylaxis, have echocardiogram levels reviewed due to define his murmur, and be administered a compression given his thrombocytopenia due to low platelet count and baseline coagulopathy. Considering the examiners diagnoses, hyponatremia secondary to diuresis, several helpful nursing interventions would include the assessment of vital signs, regulation of normal…

this creates a dilemma for the physicians regarding medication, because treating one diagnosis can worsen the other. This hypertension concurrently with orthostatic hypotension is also a correlated sign of autonomic dysfunction/failure. His thrombocytopenia resolved over time, so that cannot be the culprit of…

Intramuscular hemangiomas was first described by Liston in 1843. This benign vascular lesion of skeletal muscles make up for less than 1% of all hemangiomas.[1] They commonly present in early childhood or early adult life,[4] although there were some studies which reported such cases in elderly patients. Generally intramuscular hemangiomas have shown an equal sex distribution except for the involvement of the masseter muscle which has a definite male predominance with ratio of 3 to 1.[5]…

The Genetic Effects on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Following the American Psychological Association Guidelines Christina Taylor Baker University October 7, 2015 Pathophysiology: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) contains malignant cells that are lymphoid precursor cells, also known as lymphoblasts. During the early development of these cells, they experience an interruption of their cell development. This is usually due to an abnormal gene expression, mostly caused by chromosomal…

INTRODUCTION: Alcohol is a part of New Zealand culture and is considered as an inevitable factor for celebrations and for relieving stress (“Alcohol misuse”, 2016). Long-term high rate of alcohol consumption can lead to alcohol misuse and make people dependent on alcohol. It has now become a very common thing to see an alcoholic patient presenting to the hospital frequently to treat the withdrawal symptoms. Most of the patients admitted with Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS) have multiple…
