  2. Labs • WBC: 2500 (normal 4000-10,000) • HCT: 25 Normal MCV • Platelets: 12,0000 • Reticulocyte count: 12,000 (normal 40-90,000) • LDH: normal

  3. Bone marrow biopsy

  4. Questions • What is the diagnosis? • What treatment options might you offer? • What is the suspected etiology? • Did leukemia enter your differential? How did you rule it out?

  5. History • 12 year old boy • Presents with 4 week history of fatigue, easy bruising, nose bleeds and low grade fever • On physical exam he appears ill, listless

  6. Labs • WBC 2500 • HCT: 25 • PLAT: 12,000

  7. Peripheral smear

  8. Bone marrow

  9. Questions • What is the diagnosis? • What are common treatment options? • What additional sites (besides the bone marrow) do you need to be concerned about?

  10. History • 75 yo woman presents with fatigue and diffuse joint pain for several years but worse recently • Physical exam reveals a chronically ill appearing woman. Joints appear swollen and stiff.

  11. Labs • WBC 5,000 • HCT: 29.5 • MCV: 78 (normal 82-95) • Platelets: 508,000 (normal 150-400,000) • ESR: 30 (normal < 20) • Total protein elevated

  12. Serum protein electrophoresis

  13. Questions • What is her protein problem? • What more information would you like?

  14. More labs • Iron: 20 (normal 30-160) • TIBC: 200 (normal 250-350) • % saturation 30% (normal 20-50) • Ferritin: 100 (normal 11-300)

  15. Questions • What is the diagnosis? • What are you going to do about it?

  16. More history • You diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and started her on prednisone • Initially she seemed a lot better with less joint pain and more mobility • A year later she is feeling much more fatigued and has shortness of breath walking across the room

  17. Labs • WBC: 5000 • HCT: 23 • MCV: 72 • Platelets: 600,000

  18. More labs • Iron: 10 • TIBC: 350 • % saturation 4 % • Ferritin: 20

  19. Questions • What happened to this patient’s blood count • What are some possible diagnoses • What further workup are you going to do? • How would you treat this patient?

  20. HISTORY • 75 yo man who presents with severe back pain, nausea and vomiting, and a lot of fatigue over the past few months • Labs: • WBC: 4000 • HCT: 23.5 HGB: 7.8 • BUN 80 Creatinine 4.0

  21. SPEP

  22. Additional work up • Immunoelectrophoresis • Ig G kappa • Quantitative immunoglobins • Ig G: 5000 mg/dl • Ig A: 20 mg/dl • Ig M: 15 mg/dl
