hematology/cardiology pathology #1 (orange)

1 Anemia

1 lacking adequate rbc for any of a variety of reasons

1 B12 deficiency

1 insufficient blood levels of cobalamin (B12) essential for rbc maturation, may be dietary or no intrinsic factor (for B12 absorption)

1 Pernicious anemia

1 progressive anemia from lack of instisic factor (essential for B12 absorption)

1 folate deficiency

1 anemia from lack of folate, dietary, drug induced, congenital

1 iron deficiency anemia

1 reduced rbc from inadequate iron intake

1 acute posthemorrhagic anemia

1 rbc deficiency caused by blood loss

1 chronic blood loss

1 long term internal bleeding, may cause inemia

1 hypovolemia

1 deficient volume circulating blood

2 aplastic anemia

2 suppression of bone marrow function leading to decrease rbc production, mostly idiopathic but may be caused by hepatitis, radiation, or cytoxic agents

2 autoimmune aquired anemia

2 anemia caused by the bodys destruction of its own rbcs or by serum antibodies

2 nonautoimmune aquired hemolytic anemia

2 anemia that may be drug induced or caused by infectious disease

2 sickle cell anemia

2 inherited anemia characterized by crescent shaped rbcs

2 pancytopenia

2 deficiency of all blood cells, caused by dysfunctional stem cells

2 thalassemia

2 group of inherited disorders of people of mediterranean, African, and se Asian decent, anemia is a result of decreased synthesis of hemoglobin resulting in decreased production and increased production of rbc

3 hemophilia

3 group of inherited bleeding disorders, deficiency of one factor necessary for the coagulation of blood

3 thrombocytopenia

3 deficiency of platelets causing an inability to clot, most common cause of bleeding disorders

3 polycythemia Vera

3 chronic incr in rbc and concentration of hemoglobin

3 purpura

3 bleeding disorders causing hemorrhage into tissues

4 leukopenia

4 abnormal decrease in wbc

4 leukocytosis

4 abnormal incr in wbc

5 lymphedema

5 accumulation of lymphatic fluid and swelling, caused by abstraction, removal or hypoplasia of lymph vessels

5 lymphangitis

5 inflammation of lymph vessels

5 lymphadenitis

5 inflammation of lymph node

5 lymphadenopathy

5 any disease of lymph nodes, may be localized or generalized

5 lymphocytosis

5 abnormal in increase in lymphocytes

5 lymphocytopenia

5 deficiency of lymphocytes, caused by infectious mononucleosis, nutritional deficiency or a hematologic disorder

5 mononucleosis

5 incr in mononuclear cells (monocytes and lymphocytes) in blood, caused by the Epstein-barr virus

5 hypersplenism

5 incr function of the spleen, results in hemolysis
