Copper deficiency‐related bone marrow changes secondary to long‐term total parenteral nutrition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total parenteral nutrition can be complicated by the marrow sea-blue histiocytes as well as copper deficiency-related bone marrow changes. Cytoplasmic vacuoles in the erythroid and myeloid precursors raise the possibility of copper deficiency anemia. If the diagnosis is delayed, the clinical course can be complicated by neurologic deficits.

Copper deficiency (hypocupremia) and pancytopenia late after gastric bypass surgery.
Hypocupremia, or copper deficiency, is a rare and underrecognized cause of bone marrow dysplasia. Most cases of copper deficiency in adults occurred historically in patients receiving total parenteral hyperalimentation or total parental nutrition. More recently, with the obesity epidemic and the prevalence of gastric bypass, cases of malabsorption-related copper deficiency have occurred. Copper...
متن کاملAnemia and Neutropenia in Copper-Deficient Patients: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
Copper deficiency is an uncommon, but treatable cause of hematologic abnormalities. We present and describe two interesting cases in this report. The first case was a 37-year-old man with history of short bowel syndrome and long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN) presenting with pancytopenia and chronic symmetrical polyarthritis that resembled rheumatoid arthritis. The second case was a 64-y...

OBJECT Anemia and leukopenia caused by copper deficiency are well-documented consequences of long-term total parenteral nutrition. We measured the serum copper levels of bed-ridden patients receiving enteral feeding, and evaluated optical and ultrastructural features of bone marrow before and after copper supplementation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 15 bed-ridden eld...
متن کاملCopper deficiency, a new triad: anemia, leucopenia, and myeloneuropathy
Clinical copper deficiency is now more frequently recognized. Hematologically, it can present as anemia (microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic) and neutropenia. Thrombocytopenia is relatively rare. Neurologically, it can manifest as myelopathy and peripheral neuropathy simulating subacute combined degeneration. Bone marrow findings can mimic myelodysplasia resulting in occasional inappropriate ...
