    1. HEREDITARY/ACQUIRED HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA

    2. HEMOLYTIC ANEMIAS Hemolytic anemias = reduced red-cell life span

    6. THALASSEMIAS MICROCYTIC, HYPOCHROMIC, HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA MOST COMMON IN AFRICAN, MEDITERRANEAN, MIDDLE EASTERN, & SOUTHEAST ASIAN DESCENT MULTIPLE VARIANTS

    7. THALASSEMIAS CHARACTERIZED BY DEFECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF GLOBIN CHAINS, UNABLE TO PRODUCE NORMAL ADULT HEMOGLOBIN TRAIT THOUGHT TO BE PROTECTIVE AGAINST MALARIA AS WELL

    8. HEMOGLOBIN NORMAL ADULT RBC CONSISTS OF 3 FORMS OF Hb: - HbA - 2 a and 2 ß globin chains - HbA2 – 2 a and 2 d globin chains - HbF - 2 a and 2 ? globin chains THALASSEMIAS a and ß

    9. THALASSEMIAS TYPES OF DZ CHARACTERIZED BY DEFFERING EXTREMES OF ANEMIA DEPENDS ON AMOUNT OF INEFFECTIVE ERYTHROPOIESIS AND PREMATURE DESTRUCTION OF CIRCULATING RBC’S HYPOXIA IN SEVERE CASES

    10. G6PD DEFICIENCY MOST COMMON HUMAN ENZYME DEFECT X-LINKED DISORDER AFFECTS 15% OF U.S. BLACK MALES DECREASE IN GLUTATHIONE LEVELS

    11. G6PD DEFICIENCY HEINZ BODIES SEEN ON PERIPHERAL BLOOD SMEAR NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1-4 DAYS AFTER BIRTH IN SEVERE VARIANTS INCREASE INCIDENCE OF PIDMENTED GALLSTONES AND SPLENOMEGALY

    12. G6PD DEFICIENCY ACUTE HEMOLYTIC CRISIS DUE TO: - BACTERIAL/VIRAL INFECTION - OXIDANT DRUGS (SULFAMETHOXAZOLE) - METABOLIC ACIDOSIS (DKA) - RENAL FAILURE - INGESTION OF FAVA BEANS

    15. HEREDITARY SPHEROCYTOSIS SPHEROCYTES – IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD SMEAR SPHEROCYTES UNABLE TO PASS THROUGH THE SPLEEN SEVERE CASES REQUIRE A SPLENECTOMY

    16. HEREDITARY SPHEROCYTOSIS NEONATAL JAUNDICE IN 1ST WEEK OCCURS IN 30-50% OF HS PTS ANEMIA, SPLENOMEGALY, JAUNDICE, AND TRANSFUSIONS NEEDED VARY DEPENDING ON SEVERITY OF DZ

Clinical features - splenomegaly 4. Laboratory features - hemolytic anemia - blood smear-microspherocytes - abnormal osmotic fragility test - positive autohemolysis test - prevention of increased autohemolysis by including glucose in incubation medium 5.

    18. Sickle-Cell Anemia

    19. Hemoglobin Composed of: 1 Heme and 4 Globin Chains 4 Types of Globin Chains: Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma

    20. Sickle Cell Disease Cannot make Beta Chains Valine substituted for glutamate in 6th position of beta chain

    21. Sickle Cell Disease Affects people of African descent Affects 72,000 people in the US 2 million people are carriers Occurs once in every 375 African American births

    22. Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder. Normal red blood cells are round like doughnuts, and they move through small blood tubes in the body to deliver oxygen. Sickle red blood cells become hard, sticky and shaped like sickles used to cut wheat. When these hard and pointed red cells go through the small blood tube, they clog the flow and break apart. This can cause pain, damage and a low blood count, or anemia.

    23. The origin of the disease is a small change in the protein hemoglobin The change in cell structure arises from a change in the structure of hemoglobin. A single change in an amino acid causes hemoglobin to aggregate.

    24. Hemoglobin is a carrier protein

    25. Hemoglobin changes structure for efficient oxygen uptake and delivery

    26. The small change in hemoglobin structure leads to aggregation

    27. Genetic Inheritance

    28. Symptoms in Children Start to appear at 6 months Dactylitis (swelling of hands and feet) Heart Enlargement Growth Retardation Delayed Sexual Development

    29. Dactylitis

    30. Sickle Cell Crisis Severe pain caused by blocked blood flow Triggered by Infection, Dehydration, Fatigue, or Emotional Stress Can last up to 5 days

    31. Splenic Sequestration Spleen tried to remove abnormal cells Becomes enlarged and causes pain Autosplenectomy occurs Usually not seen in adults

    32. Symptoms of Anemia Tiredness Headaches Dizziness Faintness Shortness of breath

    33. Other Symptoms Chronic, low-level pain in joints and bones Abdominal pain Retina Damage Gallstones Leg Ulcers (adults) Chest pain

    34. Leg Ulcers

    35. Blood Picture Sickle, Target and/or nRBCs Decreased Hemoglobin Increased retic count White cell count increased WBC shift to the left

    37. Hgb Electrophoresis Amino acids in globin chains have different charges Separates hemoglobin according to charge 90% Hgb S, 10% Hgb F, small fraction of Hgb A2

    39. Prognosis No cure Life expectancy: 42 years men 48 years women 85% reach the age of 20 50% reach age 50 Causes of death: Infection, heart failure

    55. TTP – ER TREATMENT PREDNISONE 1-2mg/kg/day INITIALLY PLASMA EXCHANGE TRANSFUSION IS FOUNDATION FOR TX (INFUSE FRESH FROZEN PLASMA IF TRANSFUSION UNAVAILABLE AVOID PLATELET TRANSFUSION NEVER USE ASPIRIN

    56. TTP – ER TREATMENT PT MAY NEED SPLENECTOMY AZATHIOPRINE AND CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE FOR THOSE WHO FAIL OR CANNOT TOLERATE STEROIDS

    57. HUS DZ OF EARLY CHILDHOOD PEAK INCIDENCE BETWEEN 6mo-4yr OFTEN FOLLOWS BACTERIAL/VIRAL ILLNESS MORTALILY 5-15%, WORSE IN OLDER CHILDREN & ADULTS

    58. HUS CHARACTERIZED BY -ACUTE RENAL FAILURE -MICROANGIOPATHIC HA -FEVER -THROMBOCYTOPENIA (NOT AS SEVERE AS TTP)

    59. HUS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ACUTE RENAL FAILURE IN CHILDHOOD E.Coli O157:H7 COMMON CAUSE MICROTHORMBI ARE CONFINED MAINLY TO KIDENYS, WHERE TTP MORE WIDESPREAD

    60. HUS – ER TREATMENT MILD HUS < 24hr OF URINARY SX NEELS ONLY FLUID/ELECTROLYTE CORRECTION AND SUPPORT CARE STEROID THERAPY HEMODIAYLSIS IF ACUTE RENAL FAILURE PRESENT ABX TX CONTROVERSIAL WHEN E.Coli PRESNENT; DO NOT USE ANTIMOLITY DRUG, INCREASE RISK OF DEVELOP HUS
