2018年2月3日 · Though these are hypersegmented notice the radial pattern, these are called botryoid neutrophils as OP said. Very rare, associated with heat stroke. On the off chance your a student I’ll add the disclaimer that botryoid segs are NOT info you need for the boards, however the B12 relationship to hypersegs is a good correlation you should be ...

2016年1月17日 · I'm not sure the molecular mechanism, but it's worth noting the hypersegment phenotype of mature neutrophils is species dependent (see link). The lack of conservation across mammals, including two relatively closely related species like dogs and cats, suggests there is not a strong evolutionary pressure for or against the hypersegmentation ...

2020年10月18日 · In the somewhat recent past of pathology, neutrophils were subclassified according to the number of lobes they possessed. N1 was band forms, N2-N5 normals, and N6 and above were hypersegmented. (As neutrophils get older, the number of nuclear segments usually increases). These were counted using those little handy counters that pathologists use.

2020年12月10日 · Older neutrophils tend to be more segmented than young ones. B12 is needed as cofactor in DNA synthesis and therefore for cell proliferation. Maybe the body can't produce plenty of new neutrophils and keeps the old ones longer, which then continue to get segmented and become hypersegmented?

2022年1月14日 · You also get hypersegmented neutrophils in b12/folate deficiency, so the amount of lobes is also altered by nutritional deficiencies. Also unaware of the reason, but it's something in morphology training that you are taught as a sign of b12/folate

2020年2月12日 · Thats why you see the hypersegmented neutrophils, they keep trying to divide. And thats also why it causes pancytopenia. Remember that dna synthesis needs folate so anything that compromises folate availability like b-12 deff, folate deff, anti folate drugs etc will cause megaloblastic anemia.

2019年4月9日 · Dude has hypersegmented neutrophils, and a macrocytic anemia. B9 or folate deficiency until proven otherwise.

2017年11月6日 · In pathoma Dr. Sattar mentions that alcohol, liver disease and 5-FU can lead to macrocytic anemia w/o megaloblastic change or hypersegmented neutrophils.

2021年7月12日 · Megaloblastic anemia = dna synthesis n repair defect = folate, b12 def, fanconi anemia; will see rbc mcv >100 and hypersegmented neutrophils (>5 lobes of nucleus in neutrophils) Nonmegloblastic = alcoholism, liver diseases; mcv > 100 and no hypersegmented (3-5 lobes of nucleus in neutrophils)
