the hematopoietic and lymphoid systems
Slide 2-

hematopathology blood lymphoid organs central: bone marrow thymus peripheral: lymph nodes MALT (Waldeyer´s ring, intestine...) splenic white pulp
Slide 3-

hematopathology leukaemia = neoplastic cells in peripheral blood lymphoma = tumour of the lymph node hemoblastosis primary bone marrow leukaemia + tumoriform lymphomas primary lymph nodes lymphoma + leukemic phase
Slide 4-

bone marrow
Slide 5-

bone marrow weight cca 1,5kg red (hematopoietic) x yellow (adipose) structure: hematopoietic cells: granulopoiesis peritrabecular, erytropoiesis a megakaryocytes intertrabecular and perisinusoidal corroborative elements: makrophages, fibroblasts, mastocytes, plazmocytes, lymfocytes blood sinuses bone trabeculas
Slide 6-

diminished hematopoiesis A) total diminution aplastic anemia (panmyelophtisis) hereditary: Fanconi anemia AR death because of infectious and bleeding complications +/- turn into AML acquired: infectious, irradiation, use of some drugs
Slide 7-

diminished hematopoiesis B) selective one or more of hematopoietic lineages critical is peripheral blood – marrow could be hypercelular = „ineffective hematopoiesis“
Slide 8-

diminished hematopoiesis...anemia 1) anemia ↓ total circulating RBC volume, +/- ↓Hb and ↓O2 hypoxia of tissues = clinical symptoms
Slide 9-

anemia...loss of RBC a) hemorrhage: blood loss anemia hypovolemia → normocytic normochromic anemia → ↑ erytropoiesis (bone marrow) → reticulocytosis, hypochromic anemia
Slide 10-

anemia...hemolytic b) increased rate of RBC destruction: the hemolytic anemias anemia + reactive hyperplastic erytropoiesis bm: ↑erytropoiesis/myelopoiesis, gaucheroid cells +/- extramedullary hematopoiesis Hb -emia, -uria
Slide 11-

anemias..hemolytic..intrinsic I) intrinsic (intracorpuscular) abnormalities of RBC hereditary: 1) disorders of RBC membrane cytoskeleton spherocytosis erythrocytes spheroidal, less deformable and vulnerable to splenic sequestration and destruction AD anemia, splenomegalia a hemolytic icterus
Slide 12-

anemias..hemolytic..intrinsic 2) RBC enzyme deficiencies 3) disorders of Hb synthesis: hem+globin deficient globin synthesis: thalassemia syndromes lack of or decreased synthesis of globin chains: α chains = α thalassemia β chains = β thalassemia ↓ synthesis of Hb → anemia (microcytic hypochromic) + excess of α chains in β thalassemia → insoluble aggregats → damage RBC membrane → reduction of plasticity → phagocytosis, inefective erytropoiesis heterozygous = thalassemia minor homozygous = thalassemia major
Slide 13-

anemias..hemolytic..intrinsic structurally abnormal globin synthesis (hemoglobinopathies): sickle cell anemia structurally abnormal Hb S – on deoxygenation polymerization = gelation or crystallization → microvascular obstruction → ischemic tissue damage + ↑ removing in the spleen = „autosplenectomy“
