What is haematopoiesis?
The production of mature blood cells
![Page 4: Becky & Shef. What is haematopoiesis? The production of mature blood cells.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110209/56649e1c5503460f94b0a692/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What three processes have to occur?
Proliferation (mitosis)
Differentiation
Maturation
![Page 5: Becky & Shef. What is haematopoiesis? The production of mature blood cells.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110209/56649e1c5503460f94b0a692/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Where is EPO released from? What does it do?Released from the Kidneys in response to hypoxia
EPO interacts with the EPO receptor on the surface of RBCs, resulting in proliferation and differentiation of erythroid precursor cells as well as the prevention of these cells
Increases the rate of mitoses
Decreases the maturation time

What is erythropoiesis? What 4 constituents are needed?EPO
Iron
Folic acid
Vitamin B12

How long does it take for a erythrocyte to mature? How long do they circulate for?
7 days to mature
Circulate for 120 days – Why is this significant?*

What changes does a committed stem cell undergo in order to become an erythrocyte? (6)
Decrease in cell sizeHb productionLoss of organellesAcquisition of eosinophilic cytoplasmExtrusion of nucleusAcquisition of biconcave disc shape

What is anaemia?
Fewer red blood cells than normal OR less haemoglobin than normal in each red blood cell.
![Page 11: Becky & Shef. What is haematopoiesis? The production of mature blood cells.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110209/56649e1c5503460f94b0a692/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How do we assess erythrocytes?
Size (MCV) & Colour (MCH)
Affected by:Iron
Deficiency leads to microcytic, hypochromic anaemiaVitamin B12
Deficiency leads to macrocytic anaemiaFolic acid
Deficiency leads to macrocytic anaemia

#1 Clinical Presentation
A 42yo male presents to his GP reporting several episodes of epistaxis (nose bleeds) for the past two weeks.
Following examination, the GP noticed blood filled bullae in their mouth along with numerous petechiae on their upper & lower limbs.

#2 Clinical PresentationA 34yo female has come to see you and is complaining of abdominal pain which she localises to her lower right lower quadrant (right iliac fossa). She also reports prolonged diarrhoea and has informed you that she has unintentionally lost ‘a few kilos’ over the past fortnight.
She describes her stool as slimy and occasionally she notices a small amount of bright red blood.
Following investigations, it is noted that she has raised CRP.

Answer: Folate deficiency / B12 deficiency Macrocytic (Megaloblastic) anaemia (MCV =

Normochromic (MHC within normal range)
Presentation suggestive of Crohn’s Terminal ileum commonly affected Think absorption!

CausesVitamin B12 deficiencyConditions affecting the small intestine (particularly the terminal ileum as often seen in Crohn’s disease)Iatrogenic (For example gastectomy, medications (eg PPIs))Autoimmune (Most common causes of B12 deficiency in the UK is pernicious anaemia)Diet (Fish & dairy products are a good source )
Folate deficiencyDiet (Sources include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, peas, chickpeas and brown rice)Malabsorption (eg Coeliac disease)Medication (eg anticonvulsants)Excessive urination

Answer: Iron deficiency anaemia
Microcytic (MCV = 62)
Hypochromic (MCH = 20)

What investigation can you carry out to confirm iron deficiency?
Serum ferritin measurement
Less frequently used:Transferrin saturation indexTIBC (total iron binding capacity; increased in
anaemia)Serum iron
