anemia

Front

deficiency in erythrocytes or hemoglobin -most common type is iron deficiency anemia; causes by a lack of iron, which is required (iron is required) for hemoglobin production

Back

chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)

Front

abnormal numbers of relatively mature lymphocytes predominate in the marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen

Back

leukemia

Front

cancer of white blood cells

Back

aplastic anemia

Front

failure of blood cell production in the bone marrow

Back

pancytopenia

Front

occurs when stem cells fail to produce leukocytes, platelets, and erythrocytes

Back

polycythemia vera

Front

general increase in red blood cells -blood consistency is thick

Back

autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT)

Front

which the patient serves as his or her own donor for stem cells, may lead to a prolonged remission

Back

basophila

Front

an increase happens in certain types of leukemia

Back

remission

Front

effective treatment canceled the disappearances f signs and symptoms of disease

Back

actue myelogenous (myelocytic) leukemia (AML)

Front

immature granulocytes(myeloblasts) predominate.

Back

acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)

Front

Immature lymphocytes (lymphoblasts) predominate. This form is seen most often in children and adolescents; onset is sudden

Back

chronic myelogenous (myelocytic) leukemia (CML)

Front

Both mature and immature granulocytes are present in large numbers in the marrow and bloodstream.

Back

mononucleosis

Front

infectious disease marked by increased numbers of leukocytes and enlarged cervical lymph nodes -transmitted by EPstein-Bear virus(EBV); direct oral contact salivary rechange

Back

ecchymoses

Front

larger blue or purplish patches on the skin (bruises)

Back

eosinophilia

Front

increase in eosinophils in granulocytes, seen in allergic conditions and parasitic infectious

Back

why would there be an increase in neutrophils

Front

it may occur in responsible to infection or information of any type.

Back

palliative

Front

relieving symptoms, but not curing the disease

Back

hemolytic anemia

Front

reduction in red cells due to excessive destruction -removal of spleen improves this anemia

Back

thalassemia

Front

Inherited defect in the ability to produce hemoglobin, usually seen in persons of Mediterranean background. - leads to hypochromic anemia

Back

sickle cell anemia

Front

hereditary condition characterized by abnormal sickle shape of erythrocytes and by hemolysis -caused by abnormal type of hemoglobin (s)

Back

granulocytosis

Front

abnormal increase in granulocytes in the blood

Back

purpura

Front

multiple pinpoint hemorrhages and accumulation of blood under the skin

Back

hemophilia

Front

excessive bleeding caused by hereditary lack of blood clotting factors necessary for blood clotting(factor 8 or 11)

Back

blood dyscrasia (disease)

Front

any abnormal or pathologic condition of the blood -> diseases of: RBC, WBC, blood clotting and bone marrow

Back

multiple myeloma

Front

malignant neoplasm of bone marrow

Back

hemochromatosis

Front

excess iron deposits throughout the body -skin pigmentation, diabetes, hepatomegaly and cardiac failure may occur

Back

petechia

Front

tiny purple or red flat spots appearing on the skin as a result of hemorrhages;small bruise

Back

autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura

Front

condition in which a patient makes an antibody that destroys platelets

Back

pernicious anemia

Front

lack of mature erythrocytes caused by inability to absorb vitamin B12 into the body/bloodstream

Back

relapse

Front

occurs when disease symptoms and signs reappear, necessitating further treatment

Back
