Shashidhar Venkatesh Murthy A/Prof & Head of Pathology College of Medicine & Dentistry ….. foundation of clinical medicine Clinical Pathology: RBC Disorders: Deficiency Anemia
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) Top 6 Anemias: 1. Iron Def. A 2. Megaloblastic 3. Anem. Of Chronic Dis. 4. Aplastic An. 5. Immune Hemolytic – Warm 6. Immune Hemolytic - Cold 2 2 3
Anemia Pathogenesis: B12/Folate Metabolism: R Binders, Stomach, IF, Colon, Methionine, Homocysteine – DNA synthesis – cell division. Megaloblastic anemia DNA: B12, Folate BLAST Early Intermediate Late Retic. RBC Aplastic anemia Dysplastic anemia Hemolytic anemia Immune Mech. Infection Proerythroblast (Pronormoblast) Polychromatophilic Normoblast Reticulocyte Basophilic Normoblast Orthochromatophilic Normoblast Erythrocyte Iron Deficiency anemia Hb: Iron Iron Metabolism: “limited”,10%, Recycle, Ferritin, Transferrin, Hepcidin, forms Hb in cytoplasm. 4

Iron Deficiency - Megaloblastic Causes: • Causes: Bleeding, Nutrition, Increased needs. Pathogenesis: Iron - Hb - MCV Morphology: Microcytic, Hypochromic Pencil cells. Clinical Features: glossitis, chelitis, stomatitis. koilonychia, dysphagia Nutrition, gastritis, intestinal disorders, Cancer therapy. Pathogenesis: • DNA Cells - all cells. Morphology: • Macrocytic, Normochromic • Pancytopenia* Clinical Features: • glossitis, chelitis, stomatitis. • Mild Jaundice & Bruising 6
Microcytic Anemia (IDA) Normal 7
Iron Deficiency Anemia: L 1.Microcytic, Hypochromic – excess cell division, low Hb. 2.Anisopoikilocytosis. – varying supply, abnormal hemopoiesis. 3.Pencil forms. - ? cause 8
Macrocytic Anemia (Meg.): H H N Normal 9
Megaloblastic Anemia: Megaloblastic Bone Marrow Normal Macrocyte Megaloblast Hypersegmented Neutrophils 1. Oval Macrocytes, Pancytopenia: cell division. 2. Anisopoikilocytosis: Hemolysis. 3. Hypersegmented neutrophils: Large cells / Megaloblasts (in bone marrow). 10
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. B12 Folate Green Veg Animal/bacteria

Haemopoiesis in deficiency anemias Macrocytic, pancytopenia Megaloblastic Microcytic hypochromic Iron Deficiency Normal 13
Anemia of Chronic Disease: Etiology: Chronic Infections, inflammations, malignancy & anemia of renal disease*. Pathogenesis: IFN, TNF, IL block iron transfer from macrophage store to RBC. Erythropoietin*. Morphology: Mild Microcytic, Hypochromic. Clinical Features: Mild anemia, resistant to iron therapy.
Aplastic Anemia: BM Failure Stem Cell Cancer: Myelodysplastic Sy. Leukemia Stem cell damage • Drugs, Immune • Viral Infections. Dysplasia Normal BM Aplasia Clinical Features: 1. RBC - Anemia, 2. WBC - Infections 3. PLT - Bleeding Normocytic Pancytopenia 15
