What are the causes of neutropenia? Answer - Prolonged severe infection
Decreased production of neutrophils
Reduced survival of neutrophils
Abnormal nuetrophil distribution and sequestration
What is neutropenia? Answer - A reduction in the neutrophils circulating in the
blood stream
What is the etiology of polycythemia? Answer - It is an overproduction of red
blood cells. There are two kinds, relative and absolute (also splits into primary
and secondary absolute)
What is relative polycythemia? Answer - It is a overproduction of RBC's as a
result of dehydration.
The fluid loss results in relative increases of red cell counts and Hgb and Hct
values. (so it's not neccesarily that there is more RBC it's just that there is less
of everything else)
What is absolute polycythemia? Answer - Primary- is from an abnormality of
stem cells in the bone marrow- so the bone marrow produces too much
(polycythemia vera)
Secondary- Is an increase in erythropoietin as a normal response to chronic
hypoxia (COPD- has to produce more RBC to get O2 everywhere) or an
inappropriate response to erythropoietin-secreting tumors
