Anemia
Most common cause of microcytic, hypochromic anemia
IDA
Deletion of a two alpha globin chains
Alpha Thalassemia minor (trait)
This leukemia is characterized by a monoclonal proliferation of mature-appearing B lymphocytes
CLL
Characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells
Hodgkin Lymphoma
Increased TIBC is associated with what anemia
IDA
Macrocytic anemia, dacrocytes, and hyperhsegmented neutrophils
Pernicious anemia
AKA Cooley's Anemia
beta-thalassemia major (disease)
Auer Rods are seen in this disease
AML
Disease in young children. Has CNS involvement & Associated with EBV.
“Starry sky” pattern on low power from tissue biopsy
Burkitt's Lymphoma
This red blood cell stacking pattern, common in multiple myeloma, leads to an increased ESR
Rouleaux
Hemolytic anemia, hemoglobin S, and drepanocytes
Sickle Cell Disease
Poikilocyte notorious in hemoglobinopathies and thalassemia
Codocytes/ Target Cells
CML
Lymphoma that may arise in lymph nodes anywhere in the body. Over 60 subtypes, which can be fast or slow-growing
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
Best CBC parameter to evaluate whether or not the patient is anemic
hematocrit or "packed cell volume"
First test to show IDA
Ferritin
Disease characterized by 50% hemoglobin S and 50% hemoglobin C
SC Disease
Abundant cytoplasm and fine cytoplasmic projections
Hairy Cell Leukemia
Typically begins in the upper body, such as the neck, chest or armpits & progresses in a predictable way - making it easier to recognize and treat.
Hodgkin Lymphoma
These ‘cluster of differentiation’ antigens on cell membranes are used to classify leukocytes and leukemias.
CD Markers
This hemolytic anemia results from a deficiency, which results in formation of Heinz bodies.
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or g6pd deficiency
The definitive laboratory method used to separate and identify hemoglobin variants
Hemoglobin Electrophoresis
Most common subtype of ALL
Pro-B Cell Leukemia
T-Cell Lymphoma.
Disseminated disease with widespread skin involvement.
Circulating lymphoma cells.
Sezary Syndrome
These two light-scatter measurements in flow cytometry estimate cell size and internal complexity
Forward scatter and side scatter
