Which drug is directly myelosuppressive and may induce thrombocytopenia Quizlet

clots form in small vessels (can be med emergency), may be due to certain drugs (e.g., Plavix, chemo) or pregnancy, lupus, scleroderma;

bleeding and clotting SIMULTANEOUSLY; enhanced aggregation of platelets causes micro-thrombi to form and deposit in vessels
**commonly caused by deficiency in ADAMTS13 enzyme that usually breaks down vonWillebrand clotting factor (vWF), resulting in vWF buildup

Uncommon syndrome characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neurologic abnormalities, fever, and renal abnormalities.
**associated with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), often referred to as TTP-HUS

Treat underlying disorder first (e.g. infection) or remove causative agent; can treat:
1) with steroids and plasma exchange;
2) plasmapheresis daily to normalization
3) splenectomy
4) immunosuppressants

Proliferation of immature white blood cells

Replacement of bone marrow with blast cells

Reduction in RBC, WBC, and platelet count

Occurrence of anemia, pallor, and infection

In leukemia, immature white blood cells such as malignant and blast cells proliferate. Blast cells replace bone marrow resulting in bone marrow failure, which causes a decrease in RBC, WBC, and platelet count. Anemia and pallor occur due to reduction in RBC count. The decrease in WBC count leads to immunosuppression resulting in infection.

Which drug is directly Myelosuppressive?

Some common chemotherapy drugs that may cause myelosuppression are: Fluorouracil: This drug can cause all forms of myelosuppression. Oxaliplatin: This medication can cause neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Irinotecan: This agent can lead to neutropenia.

Which drug would be the most common cause of drug

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is technically the most common cause of drug-associated thrombocytopenia, but the drop in platelet levels in patients with HIT is rarely sufficient to provoke bleeding and thrombosis is the major clinical complication.
