Pathoma Study Guide: Questions & Complete AnswersAnemia Right Ans - Reduction of circulating RBC mass
Presents w/ hypoxia
Hemoglobin is made of Right Ans - Heme & Globin
Heme is composed of Iron and protoporphyrin
Decrease in any of these:
Microcytic Anemia (MCV<80)
Iron deficiency Anemia Right Ans - Dec. iron in body
(either dietary lack or blood loss)
Pt undergoes gastrectomy, what happens w/ iron absorption? Right Ans -
Less acid, therefore iron remains in Fe3+ state (less absorbed)
Serum ferritin Right Ans - How much iron is stored intracellularly in body
(Norm m = 7-340)
(Norm f = 7-75)
Transferrin Right Ans - Binds iron in blood for delivery to bone & marrow
macrophage
Anemia
Koilonychia (spoon shaped nails)
Pica (pt chews on things) Right Ans - Iron deficiency
(Rx: Ferrous Sulfate)
Iron deficiency anemia
Esophageal web
& Atrophic glossitis
"beefy red tongue" Right Ans - Plummer Vinson Syndrome
Anemia associated w/ chronic inflammation or cancer.
Inc in Hepcidin (sequesters iron)
so it can't be used for infection. Right Ans - Anemia of Chronic Disease
Anemia from defect in protoporphyrin synthesis
,(Commonly Vit B6 def causing dec Aminolevulinic Acid Synthase) Right
Ans - Sideroblastic Anemia
(Iron present w/in mitochondria)
Rx. w/ Isoniozide
Inherited gene mutation in thalassemia has protective mechanism against:
Right Ans - Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria
Beta globulin chains form tetramers (HbH) Right Ans - Alpha Thalassemia
(3 genes deleted - severe)
Gamma globulin chains form tetramers in fetus (Hb Barts) Right Ans -
Alpha Thalassemia (4 gene deletion - lethal in utero)
"Hydrops Fetalis"
B/B+
B = Normal beta chain
B+ = diminished beta chain Right Ans - Beta Thalassemia Minor
B^o/ B^o
(B^o = absent beta chain)
Alpha tetramers form Right Ans - Beta Thalassemia Major
"expansion erythropoiesis in the skull & face)
Macrocytic Anemias (MCV > 100) most commonly due to: Right Ans -
Folate or Vit B12 Deficiency
Hypersegmented neutrophils & macroovalocytes
