Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Haematopoietic agents & Erythropoeitin” by Dr. Rishi Pal.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about haematopoietic agents and erythropoeitin (EPO).

Haematopoietic agents are substances that stimulate the production of blood cells in the body. One of the most important haematopoietic agents is erythropoietin (EPO), which is a hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells (erythropoiesis) in the bone marrow.

EPO is a glycoprotein hormone that binds to erythropoietin receptors on the surface of erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, stimulating their proliferation and differentiation into mature red blood cells. EPO is primarily used to treat anaemia, which is a condition characterized by a low red blood cell count, either due to decreased production or increased destruction of red blood cells.

In patients with chronic kidney disease, EPO production may be impaired, leading to anaemia. EPO replacement therapy can be used to correct this anaemia and improve quality of life. EPO is also used in the treatment of cancer-related anaemia, and in some cases of chemotherapy-induced anaemia.

However, the use of EPO is not without risks. In some cases, it can increase the risk of blood clots, which can be life-threatening. EPO can also stimulate the growth of tumours, so it should not be used in patients with certain types of cancer. Additionally, excessive use of EPO can lead to polycythemia, which is an overproduction of red blood cells that can cause blood thickening and lead to cardiovascular problems.

Overall, EPO is a powerful haematopoietic agent that plays an important role in the treatment of anaemia, but its use should be carefully monitored to minimize risks.

Max iron absorption: duodenum & jejunum Haem iron & non haem iron (Fe+++) Ascorbic acid, SH, Succinic acid facilitate conversion of Fe+++ to Fe++ form

ANEMIA? Anemia can be defined as a reduction in the hemoglobin, hematocrit or red cell number. In physiologic terms an anemia is any disorder in which the patient suffers from tissue hypoxia due to decreased oxygen carrying capacity of the blood

IRON FACTS All body cells need iron. It is crucial for oxygen transport, energy production, and cellular growth and proliferation. The human body contains an average of 3.5 g of iron (males 4 g, females 3 g). The typical daily normal diet contains 10–20 mg of iron. Only about 10% of dietary iron is absorbed (1–2 mg/day).
Slide 9-

Importance of Iron Iron forms the nucleus of the iron-porphyrin heme ring, This with globin chains forms hemoglobin. Function of Haemoglobin: Reversibly binds oxygen and provides the critical Mechanism for oxygen delivery from the lungs to other tissues. In the absence of adequate iron, small erythrocytes With Insufficient hemoglobin are formed, giving rise to Microcytic hypochromic anemia
Slide 10-

Iron absorption Iron is mainly absorbed in the duodenum and upper jejunum. A protein called divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) facilitates iron transfer across intestinal epithelial cells. Normally, individuals absorb less than 10% of dietary iron, or 1–2 mg per day balancing the daily loss from desquamation of epithelia. Most absorbed iron is used in bone marrow for erythropoiesis. Iron homeostasis is closely regulated via intestinal absorption. Once iron is absorbed, there is no physiologic mechanism for excretion of excess iron from the body other than blood loss (i.e., pregnancy, menstruation or other bleeding.)

Slide 12-

Iron transport Most absorbed iron is transported in the bloodstream bound to the glycoprotein transferrin. Transferrin is a carrier protein that plays a role in regulating the transport of iron from the site of absorption to virtually all tissues. Transferrin binds only two iron atoms. Normally, 20–45% of transferrin binding sites are filled (measured as percent transferrin saturation [TS]).

Iron Transport
Slide 14-

Iron use in the body 75% of absorbed iron is bound to proteins such as hemoglobin that are involved in oxygen transport. About 10% to 20% of absorbed iron goes into a storage pool that is also recycled in erythropoiesis, so storage and use are balanced.
Slide 15-

Iron storage Iron is initially stored in ferritin molecules. A single ferritin molecule can store up to 4,000 iron atoms. When excess dietary iron is absorbed, the body responds by producing more ferritin to facilitate iron storage.
Slide 16-

Ferritin molecules store thousands of iron atoms within their mineral core. When excess dietary iron is absorbed, the body responds by producing more ferritin to facilitate iron storage.
Slide 17-

IRON FORMULATIONS ORAL: Ferrous sulfate Ferrous gluconate Ferrous fumarate PARENTERAL: Iron Dextran Iron-sucrose complex Iron sodium gluconate complex
Slide 18-

ORAL IRON THERAPY Treatment with oral iron should be continued for 3–4 months after correction of the cause of the iron loss. This corrects the anemia and replenishes iron stores. Common adverse effects of oral iron therapy include: Nausea epigastric discomfort abdominal cramps Constipation diarrhea. These effects are usually dose-related and can often be overcome by lowering the daily dose of iron or by taking the tablets immediately after or with meals
Slide 19-

Parenteral Iron Therapy Reserved for patients with documented iron deficiency who are unable to tolerate or absorb oral iron. For patients with extensive chronic blood loss who cannot be maintained with oral iron alone Postgastrectomy conditions Previous small bowel resection Inflammatory bowel disease Malabsorption syndrome

A stable complex of ferric hydroxide and low-molecular-weight Dextran. Can be given by deep intramuscular injection or by intravenous Infusion Intravenous administration eliminates the local pain and tissue staining Adverse effects of intravenous iron dextran therapy include: Iron dextran:
Slide 22-

Side effects Headache, light-headedness, fever, arthralgias, nausea and vomiting, back pain, flushing, urticaria, bronchospasm, and, rarely, anaphylaxis and death. Hypersensitivity reactions may be delayed for 48–72 hours after administration. Owing to the risk of a hypersensitivity reaction, a small test dose of iron dextran should always be given before full intramuscular or intravenous doses.
Slide 23-

Iron-sucrose complex and iron sodium gluconate complex are alternative preparations. These agents can be given only by the intravenous route. These preparations appear to be much less likely than iron dextran to cause hypersensitivity reactions
Slide 24-

Body requirement of iron Hb has 33% of iron (50 mg in 100 ml of blood) Daily requirement Male: 0.5-1 mg Female: 1-2 mg Children: 25 mg
Slide 25-

Pharmacokinetics of iron Iron absorbs by active transport across intestinal mucosa. Converted Fe2+ to Fe3+ Apoprotein-iron complex (ferritin) Release on demand Absorption depends on apoprotein to ferritin ratio. Transferrin binds with free Fe2+ or Fe3+ from ferritin and carries to bone marrow
