Term
Anemia
Definition
- reduction below normal in the number of erythrocytes or the quantity of hemoglobin
Term
Myelotoxic Anemia
Definition

- destruction of the bone marrow

- often by cytotoxic drugs

Term
Aplastic Anemia
Definition

- resulting from aplasia

- loss of hematopoetic tissue in the bone marrow

Term
Hypoproliferative
Definition
- deficiency in RBC production
Term
Hyperproliferative
Definition
- Excess RBC destruction
Term
Microcytic
Definition

- Iron deficiency

- anemia of chronic disease

- sideroblastic

Term
Normocytic anemia
Definition

- anemia of chronic diseases

- endocrine anemia

- bone marrow failure

Term
Macrocytic
Definition
- deficiencies of B12 and folic acid
Term
Thalassemia
Definition

- genetically predetermined hemolytic anemia

- common in Mediterranean populations

- Cooley's: Beta thalassemia major

Term
Sargramostim (GM-CSF)
Definition

- Recombinant human GM CSF

- promotes the proliferation & differentiation of progenitor cells for granulocytes & macrophages

- Acts w/ stem cell factors & interleukins increases neutrophils and monocyte production

Term
Erythropoetin
Definition

- recombinant protein for CHO cells

- stimulates proliferation of erythroid precursors to increase RBC production

- used in anemia associated with chronic kidney failure

Term

Darbepoetin alfa

(aranesp)

Definition

- hypergylcosylated recombinant human erythropoesis stimulating protein

- 2nd generation of EPO

- 2 more carbohydrate chains

- increased potency and 3x half life

- used in anemia w/ chemotherapy or chronic kidney failure

Term
Thrombopoetin
Definition
- stimulates megakarocytic progenitor cell and megakarocytes to platelets
Term

GM-CSF

Granulocyte/macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor

Definition
- stimulates myeloid progenitor cell to produce red blood cells, platelets, macrophages, and neutrophils
Term

G-CSF

Granulocyte Colony stimulating factor

Definition
- stimulates neutrophil progenitor cell to become a neutrophil
Term

M CSF

Monocyte/ Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor

 

Definition
- stimulates the monocyte progenitor cell to become a monocyte
Term

Oprelvekin

(Neumega)

Definition

 - interleukin 11

- stimulates platelet production

Term
Filgrastim
Definition

- acts as G CSF

- stimulates production of neutrophils

Term
Pegfilgrastim
Definition

- chemical modification of filgrastim

- acts G CSF

- stimulates production of neutrophils

Term
Hemoglobin
Definition
- a major form of iron in vivo
Term
Transferrin
Definition

- serum carrier globulin

- transfers iron from one place to another

Term
Ferritin
Definition

- storage form of iron

- iron is bound to protein

Term
Cytochromes
Definition

- iron in vivo

- involved in oxygen reactions

Term
Muscle Myoglobin
Definition

- another protein carrier for iron

- associated with muscle tissues

Term
Mucosal Block
Definition

- duodenal/proximal jujenal cells take up iron only in small amounts

- transferred to ferritin

Term
Oral forms of Iron
Definition

- Ferrous sulfate

- Ferrous fumarate

- Ferrous gluconate
