Macrocytic Anemia
Yenny Dian AndayaniHematology Oncology Medic Division Dept.Internal Medicine Moh.Hoesin General Hospital /Faculty of
Medicine Sriwijaya University Palembang
Megaloblastic anemia/Macrocytic anemia
• fault in DNA synthesis
• 95% of cases of megaloblastic anemia are– deficiency of vitamin B12– deficiency of folic acid
• macrocytic blood picture
• megaloblastic erythropoesis.
Vitamin B12 deficiency
• inadequate diet (no animal products!)
• malabsorption
• pernicious anemia (PA)
• partial or total gastrectomy
• blind loop syndrome
• fish tapeworm
Folate deficiency
• Reduced intake ( nutritional & malabsorpsi)
• increased utilisation (pregnancy, malignancy, hyperthytoidsm)
• Defective utilisation : drugs (anticonvulsant, oral contraceptive), alcoholism.
• Reduced hepatic stores
alcohosm, hepatoma
Clinical Feature
Sympton and sign Vit B12 Def :
• Severe : anemia, neuropathy
• Other symptom : sore mouth,loss of taste, atropy mucosa of the tongue.
• Disorder of the central nervous system : paresthesias of the hands & feet, unsteadiness of gait, memory loss etc.
Syptom & sign folic acid def
• Often go undiagnosed, especially alcoholic who have a very poor diet and maintain blood alcohol levels above 100 mg/dl→ enteropatic cycle of folate supply to the intestine and tissues impared.
• Diagnosis is made difficult → clinician must be suspicious of the possibility of folate def. in the alcoholic.
The peripheral blood smear in Macrocytic Anemia
• oval macrocytes• anisocytosis• poikilocytosis.• hypersegmental neutrophils (>5% with more than five nuclear
lobes)• platelets bizarre in shape and size (giant platelets)• neutropenia• thrombocytopenia (not as severe as in AA)• low reticulocytosis• The bone marrow shows a megaloblastic erythropoesis
Bone marrow smear in MA
• megaloblastic erythropoesis
• bone marrow rich in cells,
• giant metamyeolcytes
• giant bands
• many Howell-Jolly’es bodies
• Cabot’s rings
Biochemical findings in MA
• serum indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin • serum LDH (principally LDH-1)
• serum iron – (unless the anemia is complicated with iron
deficiency)
• vitamin B12 concentration ↓
• folic acid concentration ↓
The diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia
• serum vitamin B12 concentration
• serum folic acid concentration
• if vitamin B12 and folate assays are within normal limits, then the bone marrow examination is performed (before blood transfusion or vitaminB12, folate administration).
• Schilling test
Diagnosis
• Establised based on laboratory test.
• DD : Macrocytosis in patients : dysplastic anemias, liver disease, hemolysis, exposure to the chemotherapeutic agents.
Treatment
• Folic Acid and Vit B12 ( etiology must known well)
• Severe with anemias : PRC transfusion
APLASTIC /HYPOPLASTIC ANEMIA

Aplastic anemia
• Aplastic anemia is a severe, life threatening syndrome in which production of erythrocytes, WBCs, and platelets has failed.
• Aplastic anemia may occur in all age groups and both genders.
• The disease is characterized by peripheral pancytopenia and accompanied by a hypocellular bone marrow.
Hypocellular bone marrow in aplastic anemia
Aplastic anemia
• Etiology– Acquired
» Most cases of aplastic anemia are idiopathic and there is no history of exposure to substances known to be causative agents of the disease
» Exposure to ionizing radiation – hematopoietic cells are especially susceptible to ionizing radiation. Whole body radiation of 300-500 rads can completely wipe out the bone marrow. With sublethal doses, the bone marrow eventually recovers.
» Chemical agents – include chemical agents with a benzene ring, chemotherapeutic agents, and certain insecticides.
» Idiosyncratic reactions to some commonly used drugs such as chloramphenicol or quinacrine.
Aplastic anemia
» Infections – viral and bacterial infections such as infectious mononucleosis, infectious hepatitis, cytomegalovirus infections, and miliary tuberculosis occasionally lead to aplastic anemia
» Pregnancy (rare)
» Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria – this is a stem cell disease in which the membranes of RBCs, WBCs and platlets have an abnormality making them susceptible to complement mediated lysis.
» Other diseases – preleukemia and carcinoma
Aplastic anemia
– Congenital disorders» Fanconi’s anemia – the disorder usually becomes symptomatic
~ 5 years of age and is associated with progressive bone marrow hypoplasia. Congenital defects such as skin hyperpigmentation and small stature are also seen in affected individuals.
» Familial aplastic anemia – a subset of Fanconi’s anemia in which the congenital defects are absent.
Clinical features
• Fatique
• Heart palpitation
• Palor
• Infections
• Ptchiae
• Mucosal bleeding/gum bleeding
Aplastic anemia
• Pathophysiology:– The primary defect is a reduction in or depletion of
hematopoietic precursor stem cells with decreased production of all cell lines. This is what leads to the peripheral pancytopenia.
• This may be due to quantitative or qualitative damage to the pluripotential stem cell.
• In rare instances it is the result of abnormal hormonal stimulation of stem cell proliferation
• or the result of a defective bone marrow microenvironment • or from cellular or humoral immunosuppression of hematopoiesis.
Aplastic anemia
– Lab findings
» Severe pancytopenia with relative lymphocytosis (lymphocytes live a long time)
» Normochromic, normocytic RBCs (may be slightly macrocytic)
» Mild to moderate anisocytosis and poikilocytosis
» Decreased reticulocyte count
» Hypocellular bone marrow with > 70% yellow marrow
Differential Diagnosis of pancytopenia and hypoplastic marrow
• 1. Aplastic anemia• 2. Hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome or• hypoplastis AML• 3. PNH• 4. Hypoplastic antecedent phase of acute• lymphocytic leukemia• 5.Hypoplastic antecedent of hairy cell leukemia• 6. Idiopathic myelofibrosis• 7. Pure red cell aplasia• 8. Agranulocytosis.
Diagnosis Criteria for Severe AA
• At least two of following
- Absolute neutrophil count < 0,5 x 10 9 /L
- Platelet count < 20 x 10 9/L
- Anemia with corrected reticulocyte
count < 1 %.• One of the following
- Bone marrow cellularity <25 %
- Bone Marrow cellularity < 50 % with fewer the
30 % the neutrophil cell
Treatment• Marrow tranplantation isI curative for < 40 years.• Only one –third of patients have suitable donor.• Immunosuppressive therapy : not curative -ATG -Cyclosporin -Androgen - Corticosteroids

Anemia of chronic disease =Anemia of chronic disorders
(ACD)
Yenny Dian Andayani Division Hematology Oncology Medic
Dept.Internal Medicine RSMH/Faculty of medicine Sriwijaya University Palembang
DefinitionACD is a common type of anemia that
occurs in patients with infectious, inflammatory, or neoplastic diseases that persist for more than 1 or 2 months.
It does not include anemias caused by marrow replacement, blood loss, hemolysis, renal insufficiency, hepatic disease, or endocrinopathy, even when these disorders are chronic.
Epidemiology• ACD is more common that any anemia syndrome other
than blood loss with consequent iron deficiency• ACD is the most common cause of anemia in
hospitalized patients• After patients with bleeding, hemolysis, or known
hematologic malignancy were excluded, 52% of anemic patients met laboratory criteria for the anemia of chronic disorders
• ACD is observed in 27% of outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis .
Disorders Associated with the Anemia of Chronic Disease
• Chronic infections- Pulmonary infections: abscesses, emphysema,
tuberculosis, pneumonia - Subacute bacterial endocarditis ,Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Chronic urinary tract infections, Chronic fungal disease- HIVinfections, Osteomyelitis
• Chronic, noninfectious inflammations- Rheumatoid arthritis- LES (Systemic lupus erythematosus)- Sever trauma, thermal injury, Vasculitis
• Malignant diseases- Cancer
- Hodgkin’s disease and Non-Hodgkin’s Lympmhomas
- Leukemias
- Multiple myeloma
• Miscellanous - Alcoholic liver disease
- Thrombophlebitis
- Ischemic heart disease
• Idiopathic ACD
Pathogenesis
• Shortened red cell life span, moderately 20-30%
(from 120 to 60-90 days)
• Relative bone marrow (erythropoiesis) failure
- Cytokines released from inflammatory cells (TNF-,
IL-1, IFN-) affects erythropoiesis by inhibiting the
growth of erythroid progenitors
- Serum erythropoietin levels in patiens with ACD are
normal when compared to healthy subjects but much
lower than levels in non-ACD anemic patients
Pathogenesis
ABNORMAL IRON METABOLISM
• Activation of the reticuloendothelial system with increased iron retention and storage within it
• impaired release of iron from macrophages to circulating transferrin (impaired reutilization of iron)
• Reduced concentration of transferrin
(decreased production, increase sequestration in the spleen and in the foci of inflammation, increase loss )
Infection and inflammation
Interleukin-1 (IL-1)Other Cytokines Stored iron in
reticuloendothelial system
[Leukocytes (granulocytes)]
Lactoferrin Lactoferrin iron
Plasma iron
Decreased circulating plasma iron
ACD

Inflammation
Immune response
Macrophage activity

Circulating plasma iron (Lactoferrin-iron complex)
Decreased plasma iron (hypoferremia)
Symptoms and Sign
• Symptoms of the underlying disease
( malignancy or chronic inflammatory disease) : weight loss, anorexia, fever,chills,myalgias and artralgia.
• Symptoms of the anemia
Laboratory features
• The anemia is usually mild or moderate ( Hb 7-11g/dl)
- lower values are observed in 20-30% of patients
• The anemia is most often normochromic and normocytic (MCHC and MCV are normal)
- MCV 70-80 fl in 5-40% of patients with ACD
- MCHC 26-32 g/dl in 40-70%
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) - usually rapid
• Retikulocytes - most often normal or slightly decreased number, increased count is rarely
Laboratory features
• Iron metabolism
1. Serum Iron - decreased (it is necessary for the diagnosis of ACD)
2. TIBC - reduced or low-normal (N)
3. Saturation index is decreased and is often < 15 %.
4. Serum Ferritin-increased or normal
5. Serum Transferrin Receptor (sTR)-Normal
6. Sideroblasts in the bone marrow-reduced (5-20%)

Therapy
1. Treatment of the underlying disorder
2. Iron supplementation (IS)
- for patients with ACD with chronic infection
or malignancy IS should be strictly avoided
- IS benefit patients with ACD associated with
auto-immune or rheumatic disorders.
- when ACD is complicated by iron deficiency
(about 27% patients).
3. Transfusion demand (about 30% ) patients who have low Hb and are symptomatic
4. Recombinant erythropoietin 10.000 units 3 times a week i.v. or s.c. 2-3tg, in the absence of response 20000j, If there is still no respose, the treatment should be discontinued. (in 40% of patients it reduces number of transfusions)
5. Sequential administration of erythropoietin and iron (48h later)
5. Iron chelation with deferoxamine - in some patients therapy was associated with a rise in hemoglobin level
6. In future anti-TNF-antibodies
