CHAPTER 11 Hematology Surabhi Rawal, Dr Sapna Rawal, and Dr Ahmed Galal SPLENOMEGALY RATIONALE CLINICAL BOX Major Causes of Splenomegaly Splenomegaly is usually suggestive of an underlying disorder, rather than a 1◦ splenic pathology Therefore, Rx is aimed at the underlying etiology CAUSAL CONDITIONS ICE MASS: Infectious Congestive splenomegaly/ Chronic liver disease Extramedullar hematopoiesis Malignancy Table 11.1 Causal Conditions of Splenomegaly Demand for ↑ splenic function Clearance of abnormal RBCs • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Abnormalities of RBC shape (hereditary spherocytosis/elliptocytosis) Hemoglobinopathies (thalassemias) Nutritional anemias Acute (infectious mononucleosis, hepatitis, SBE) Chronic (TB, AIDS, malaria, brucellosis, syphilis) Bacterial septicemia Splenic abscess RA (Felty syndrome) SLE Collagen vascular diseases Drug reactions Myelofibrosis Marrow toxicity (chemotherapeutic agents, radiotherapy) Marrow infiltration (solid tumors, leukemia, storage diseases) Altered splenic circulation • • • • Cirrhosis Portal vein obstruction Splenic vein obstruction CHF Splenic infiltration • • • • • Storage diseases (Niemann-Pick, Gaucher, nonlipoid) Amyloidosis Malignancy (leukemias, lymphomas, metastases) Splenic cysts Myeloproliferative disorders Infection Amyloidosis Sarcoidosis, Storage disease Autoimmune Extramedullary hematopoiesis 289 290 Essentials for the Canadian Medical Licensing Exam: Review and Prep for MCCQE Part I APPROACH See Figure 11.1 CLINICAL BOX Hypersplenism • Cytopenia 2◦ to splenomegaly of most etiologies • Key features are splenomegaly, hyperplastic bone marrow, modest pancytopenia • Occasional RBC spherocytosis, typically reticulocytosis • Treat underlying disease • Avoid splenectomy when possible to avoid risk of OPSI • If necessary administer vaccines versus Strep pneumo, HiB, N meningitidis, and annual influenza vaccine and prophylactic Abx Tx CLINICAL BOX Dx of Splenomegaly on Exam Castell method: If the spleen is normal, percussion in the lowest intercostal space (eighth to ninth) in the left anterior axillary line of the supine patient elicits a resonant note throughout the respiratory cycle If percussion on full inspiration produces a dull note (Castell sign), this is suggestive of splenic enlargement BLEEDING TENDENCY/BRUISING RATIONALE Bleeding that is spontaneous or excessive/delayed in relation to the inciting trauma must be examined for underlying pathology APPLIED SCIENTIFIC CAUSES See Figure 11.2 CAUSAL CONDITIONS The clinical history should consider likely etiologies: Personal history of bleeding diathesis Family history of bleeding diathesis Medication use 291 Figure 11.1 Approach to splenomegaly 292 Essentials for the Canadian Medical Licensing Exam:

child abuse and there may be a requirement for reporting Affect platelet function: FANTAStic Queen • Folate antagonists • ASA • NSAIDs • Thiazide diuretics • Alcohol abuse • Sulfa/β-lactam Abx •

Prenatal Dx and Counseling • Counseling on prenatal Dx of sickle cell disease and thalassemia should be nondirective and not restricted to those willing to have an abortion • Reproductive decisions must not be forced by the results of tests • Because the only pragmatic options for mothers are abortion or no children, it is vital that women not be pressured into prenatal Dx APPROACH Figure 11.3 Approach to bleeding and bruising CLINICAL BOX Tests for Hemostasis 1◦ • Platelet count • Platelet function test 2◦ • PTT—intrinsic pathway factors (VII, IX, XI, XII), monitor heparin Rx • PT-INR —extrinsic pathway factor (VII), monitor warfarin Rx • IT —measures fibrinogen deficiency or ↓ prothrombin activation 294 Essentials for the Canadian Medical Licensing Exam: Review and Prep for MCCQE Part I CLINICAL BOX C2 L E O B o x PTT 1:1 Dilution Blood Transfusion Refusal If PTT corrects with 1:1 dilution = absolute deficiency in factor level In patients who are bleeding but refuse blood transfusion, it must be determined whether the decision can be justified within the context of a relatively stable set of values If a coherent and consistent justification does not exist, identify a substitute decision maker If PTT remains high = factor inhibitor present HYPERCOAGULABLE STATE DEFINITION • Hypercoagulable conditions may be inherited or acquired, and can pose the risks of potential venous thrombosis and PE • Thrombophilia refers to the congenital deficiency of a normal protein such that there is an ↑ risk of thrombotic events CAUSAL CONDITIONS Table 11.3 Causal Condition for
