ANEMIAS*• BLOOD LOSS–ACUTE–CHRONIC
• IN-creased destruction (HEMOLYTIC)• DE-creased production
* A good definition would be a decrease in OXYGEN CARRYING CAPACITY, rather than just a decrease in red blood cells, because you need to have enough blood cells THAT FUNCTION, and not just enough blood cells.
![Page 13: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Features of ALL anemias• Pallor, where?• Tiredness•Weakness• Dyspnea, why?• Palpitations• Heart Failure (high output), why?
![Page 14: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Blood LossAcute: trauma
Chronic: lesions of gastrointestinal tract, gynecologic disturbances. The features of chronic blood loss anemia are the same as iron deficiency anemia, and is defined as a situation in which the production cannot keep up with the loss.
![Page 15: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
HEMOLYTIC• HEREDITARY– MEMBRANE disorders: e.g., spherocytosis– ENZYME disorders: e.g., G6PD deficciency– HGB disorders (hemoglobinopathies)
• ACQUIRED– MEMBRANE disorders (PNH)– ANTIBODY MEDIATED, transfusion or autoantibodies– MECHANICAL TRAUMA– INFECTIONS– DRUGS, TOXINS– HYPERSPLENISM
![Page 16: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IMPAIRED PRODUCTION• Disturbance of proliferation and differentiation
of stem cells: aplastic anemias, pure RBC aplasia, renal failure
• Disturbance of proliferation and maturation of erythroblasts
• Defective DNA synthesis: (Megaloblastic)• Defective heme synthesis: (Fe)• Deficient globin synthesis: (Thalassemias)
![Page 17: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MODIFIERS• MCV, microcytosis, macrocytosis• MCH • MCHC, hypochromic• RDW, anisocytosis
![Page 18: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
HEMOLYTIC ANEMIAS• Life span LESS than 120 days• Marrow hyperplasia (M:E), EPO+• Increased catabolic products,
e.g., bilirubin, serum HGB, hemosiderin, haptoglobin-HGB
![Page 19: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
HEMOLYSIS• INTRA-vascular (vessels)• EXTRA-vascular (spleen)
![Page 20: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
M:E Ratio normally 3:1
![Page 21: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HEREDITARY SPHEROCYTOSIS
Genetic defects affecting ankyrin, spectrin, usually autosomal dominant
Children, adults
Anemia, hemolysis, jaundice, splenomegaly, gallstones (what kind?)
![Page 22: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency
• A- and Mediterranean are most significant types
![Page 23: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FEATURES of G6PD Defic.• Genetic: Recessive, X-linked• Can be triggered by foods (fava beans),
oxidant substances drugs (primaquine, chloroquine), or infections
• HGB can precipitate as HEINZ bodies• Acute intravascular hemolysis can occur:–Hemoglobinuria–Hemoglobinemia–Anemia
![Page 24: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sickle Cell Disease• Classic hemoglobinopathy• Normal HGB is α2 β2: β-chain defects (Val->Glu)• Reduced hemoglobin “sickles” in homozygous• 8% of American blacks are heterozygous
![Page 25: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Clinical features of HGB-S disease
• Severe anemia• Jaundice• PAIN (pain CRISIS)• Vaso-occlusive disease: EVEREWHERE, but
clinically significant bone, spleen (autosplenectomy)
• Infections: Pneumococcus, Hem. Influ., Salmonella osteomyelitis
![Page 26: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
THALASSEMIAS• A WIDE VARIETY of diseases involving GLOBIN synthesis,
COMPLEX genetics
• Alpha or beta chains deficient synthesis involved• Often termed MAJOR or MINOR, depending on severity,
silent carriers and “traits” are seen• HEMOLYSIS is uniformly a feature, and microcytic anemia,
i.e, LOW MCV (just like iron deficiency anemia has a low MCV)
• A “crew cut” skull x-ray appearance may be seen in severe erythroid hyperplasia.
![Page 28: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hemoglobin H Disease• Deletion of THREE alpha chain genes• HGB-H is primarilly Asian
• HGB-H has a HIGH affinity for oxygen• HGB-H is unstable and therefore has
classical hemolytic behavior
![Page 30: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
HYDROPS FETALIS• FOUR alpha chain genes are deleted, so this is
the MOST SEVERE form of thalassemia• Many/most never make it to term• Children born will have a SEVERE hemolytic
anemia as in the erythroblastosis fetalis of Rh disease:– Pallor (as in all anemias), jaundice, kernicterus– Edema (hence the name “hydrops”)– Massive hepatosplenomegaly (hemolysis)
![Page 31: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)
• ACQUIRED, NOT INHERITED like all the previous hemolytic anemias were
• ACQUIRED mutations in phosphatidylinositol glycan A (PIGA)
• Note: It is “P” and “N” only 25% of the time!
GlycosylphosPhatidylInositol (lipid rafts)
![Page 32: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Immunohemolytic Anemia• All of these have the presence of antibodies
and/or compliment present on RBC surfaces• NOT all are AUTOimmune, some are caused
by drugs• Antibodies can be–WARM (IgG)–COLD AGGLUTININ (IgM)–COLD HEMOLYSIN (paroxysmal) (IgG)
![Page 33: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
IMMUNOHEMOLYTIC ANEMIAS• WARM AGGLUTININS (IgG), will NOT hemolyze at
room temp– Primary Idiopathic (most common)– Secondary (Tumors, especially leuk/lymph, drugs)
• COLD AGGLUTININS: (IgM), WILL hemolyze at room temp– Mycoplasma pneumoniae, HIV, mononucleosis
• COLD HEMOLYSINS: (IgG) Cold Paroxysmal Hemoglobinuria, hemo-LYSIS in body, ALSO often follows mycoplasma pneumoniae
![Page 34: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
COOMBS TEST• DIRECT: Patient’s CELLS are
tested for surface Ab’s• INDIRECT: Patient’s SERUM is
tested for Ab’s.
![Page 35: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
HEMOLYSIS/HEMOLYTIC ANEMIAS DUE TO RBC TRAUMA
• Mechanical heart valves breaking RBC’s• MICROANGIOPATHIES:–TTP–Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
![Page 36: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NON-Hemolytic Anemias:i.e., DE-creased Production
• “Megaloblastic” Anemias• B12 Deficiency (Pernicious Anemia)• Folate Deficiency• Iron Deficiency• Anemia of Chronic Disease• Aplastic Anemia• “Pure” Red Cell Aplasia• OTHER forms of Marrow Failure
![Page 37: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIAS• Differentiating megaloblasts
(marrow) from macrocytes (peripheral smear, MCV>94)
• Impaired DNA synthesis• For all practical purposes,
also called the anemias of B12 and FOLATE deficiency
• Often VERY hyperplastic/hypercellular marrow
![Page 38: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Decreased intake
Inadequate diet, vegetarianism
Impaired absorption
Intrinsic factor deficiency
Pernicious anemia
Gastrectomy
Malabsorption states
Diffuse intestinal disease, e.g., lymphoma, systemic sclerosis
Ileal resection, ileitis
Competitive parasitic uptake
Fish tapeworm infestation
Bacterial overgrowth in blind loops and diverticula of bowel
Increased requirement

![Page 39: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Vit-B12 Physiology• Oral ingestion• Combines with INTRINSIC FACTOR in the
gastric mucosa• Absorbed in the terminal ileum
• DEFECTS at ANY of these sites can produce a MEGALOBLASTIC anemia
![Page 40: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Please remember that ALL megaloblastic anemias are also MACROCYTIC (MCV>94 or MCV~100), and that not only are the RBC’s BIG and hyperplastic/hypercellular, but so are the neutrophils, and neutrophilic precursors in the bone marrow too, and even more so, HYPERSEGMENTED!!!
![Page 41: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
PERNICIOUS ANEMIA• MEGALOBLASTIC anemia• LEUKOPENIA and HYPERSEGS• JAUNDICE• NEUROLOGIC posterolateral spinal tracts• ACHLORHYDRIA• Can’t absorb B12• LOW serum B12• Flunk Schilling test, i.e., can’t absorb B12,
using a radioactive tracer
![Page 42: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
FOLATE DEFICIENCY MEGALOBLASTIC AMEMIAS
• Decreased Intake: diet, etoh-ism, infancy• Impaired Absorption: intestinal disease• DRUGS: anticonvulsants, BCPs, CHEMO• Increased Loss: Hemodialysis• Increased Requirement: Pregnancy, infancy• Impaired Usage
![Page 43: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Fe Deficiency Anemia• Due to increased loss or decreased
ingestion, almost always, in USA, nowadays, increased loss is the reason
• Microcytic (low MCV), Hypochromic (low MCHC)
• THE ONLY WAY WE CAN LOSE IRON IS BY LOSING BLOOD, because FE is recycled!
![Page 44: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

APLASTIC ANEMIAS• ALMOST ALWAYS involve platelet and
WBC suppression as well• Some are idiopathic, but MOST are
related to drugs, radiation• FANCONI’s ANEMIA is the only one that
is inherited, and NOT acquired• Act at STEM CELL level, except for
“pure” red cell aplasia

ACUTE ITP• CHILDREN• Follows a VIRAL illness (~ 2 weeks)• ALSO have anti-platelet antibodies• Platelets usually return to normal in a
few months

DRUGS• Quinine• Quinidine• Sulfonamide antibiotics
•HEPARIN

HIV• BOTH DE-creased production
AND IN-creased destruction factors are present

Thrombotic Microangiopathies
• BOTH are very SERIOUS CONDITIONS with a HIGH mortality:– TTP (THROMBOTIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA)– H.U.S. (HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME)
• These can also be called “consumptive” coagulopathies, just like a DIC

“QUALITATIVE” platelet disorders• Mostly congenital (genetic):–Bernard-Soulier syndrome (Glycoprotein-
1-b deficiency)–Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia
(Glyc.-IIB/IIIA deficiency)– Storage pool disorders, i.e., platelets mis-
function AFTER they degranulate
• ACQUIRED: ASPIRIN, ASPIRIN, ASPIRIN
![Page 68: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
BLEEDING DISORDERS due toCLOTTING FACTOR DEFICIENCIES
• NOT spontaneous, but following surgery or trauma• ALL factor deficiencies are possible• Factor VIII and IX both are the classic X-linked
recessive hemophilias, A and B, respectively• ACQUIRED disorders often due to Vitamin-K
deficiencies (II, VII, IX, X)
• von Willebrand disease the most common, 1%
![Page 69: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
von Willebrand Disease• 1% prevalence, most common bleeding disorder• Spontaneous and wound bleeding• Usually autosomal dominant• Gazillions of variants, genetics even more complex• Prolonged BLEEDING TIME, NL platelet count• vWF is von Willebrand Factor, which complexes with
Factor VIII, it is the von Willebrand Factor which is defective in von Willebrand disease
• Usually BOTH platelet and FactorVIII-vWF disorders are present

PTT PT/INR
![Page 71: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
HEMOPHILIA A• The “classic” HEMOPHILIA• Factor VIII decreased• Co-factor of Factor IX to activate Factor X• Sex-linked recessive• Hemorrhage usually NOT spontaneous• Wide variety of severities
• Prolonged PTT (intrinsic) only• Rx: Recombinant Factor VIII
![Page 72: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
HEMOPHILIA B• The “Christmas” HEMOPHILIA• Factor IX decreased• Sex-linked recessive• Hemorrhage usually NOT spontaneous• Wide variety of severities
• Prolonged PTT (intrinsic) only• Rx: Recombinant Factor IX
![Page 73: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
DIC, Disseminated INTRA-vascular, Coagulation
• ENDOTHELIAL INJURY• WIDESPREAD FIBRIN DEPOSITION• HIGH MORTALITY• ALL MAJOR ORGANS COMMONLY INVOLVED
![Page 74: RBC and BLEEDING DISORDERS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681461f550346895db3264e/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
DIC, Disseminated INTRA-vascular, Coagulation
• Extremely SERIOUS condition• NOT a disease in itself but secondary to many
conditions– Obstetric: MAJOR OB complications, toxemia, sepsis,
abruption– Infections: Gm-, meningococcemia, RMSF, fungi,
Malaria– Many neoplasms, acute promyelocytic leukemia– Massive tissue injury: trauma, burns, surgery
• “Consumptive” coagulopathy
