Clinical Pathology:

RBC Disorders: Deficiency Anemia

CPC : Term2 Week1 - Haem 1/2.

System : Haematology - RBC Disorders.

Topic : 1: Anemia Intro 2: IDA & ACD 3: MBA 4: Haemolytic 5: Others.

Pathogenetic Classification of Anemia:

Decreased Production:

Nutrient Deficiency.

Iron def (IDA) / Megaloblastic (MBA)

Hemopoietic cell defect:

Anemia of chronic disorders (ACD)

Aplastic anemia (AA).

Dysplastic anemia. Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Increased loss / destruction:

Blood loss anemia – Acute / Chronic - bleeding.

Hemolytic anemia – Congenital / Acquired.

Acquired / External injury.

Immune AIHA (Warm/Cold) Mechanical, Drugs & Parasites

Congenital / Internal RBC defect Defective Membrane (Spherocytic an)

Defective Hemoglobin (Sickle cell an.)

Deficient Enzyme (G6PD)3

DNA: B12, Folate

B12/Folate Metabolism:

R Binders, Stomach, IF, Colon,

Methionine, Homocysteine – DNA

synthesis – cell division.

Megaloblastic anemia

Hb: Iron Iron Metabolism: “limited”,10%,

Recycle, Ferritin, Transferrin,

Hepcidin, forms Hb in cytoplasm.

What we think and do in the present

future.

Iron Deficiency - Megaloblastic

6

Causes:

Bleeding, Nutrition,

Increased needs.

Pathogenesis:

Iron - Hb - MCV

Morphology:

Microcytic, Hypochromic

Pencil cells.

Clinical Features:

glossitis, chelitis, stomatitis.

koilonychia, dysphagia

Causes:

• Nutrition, gastritis, intestinal

disorders, Cancer therapy.

Pathogenesis:

• DNA Cells - all cells.

Morphology:

• Macrocytic, Normochromic

• Pancytopenia*

Clinical Features:

• glossitis, chelitis, stomatitis.

• Mild Jaundice & Bruising

Microcytic Anemia (IDA)

Iron Deficiency Anemia:

1.Microcytic, Hypochromic – excess cell division, low Hb.

Megaloblastic Anemia:

1. Oval Macrocytes, Pancytopenia: cell division.

2. Anisopoikilocytosis: Hemolysis.

3. Hypersegmented neutrophils: Large cells / Megaloblasts

(in bone marrow).

Megaloblastic Bone Marrow Normal

Pernicious Anemia: Vit B12

Autoimmune atrophic gastritis in aged.

IF & Parietal cell antibody (Type I,II,III)

Reduced Tetra-hydrofolate (FH4)

Decreased DNA synthesis.

Other causes of Vit B12 def. (not pernicious)

Gastrectomy

Achlorhydria

Chronic Pancreatitis

Ileal resection

Mal absorption syndromes.

Tapeworm infestation

Malignancy, pregnancy, hyperthyroidism etc.

Clinical:

MBA+ neurological deficits (spinal dorsal tract)

Loss of proprioception.
