Across
1.Acute issue involving myeloid cell proliferation; mostly white blood cells overloading
5.Most common childhood leukemia

21.One type of transfusion complication
22.Platelet daddy
25.Patients with Hodgkin's at high risk for developing these cancers
26.Cause for many of the secondary immunodeficiencies and blood disorders discussed; not medication but the other
27.Overreaction of the body to foreign substance like latex
28.Reed-Sternberg cells noted
31.Steroids, Biologics, Calcineurin inhibitors, Monoclonal antibody medications
32.increase in this compound creates characteristic tough skin appearance with reduced elasticity
35.Malignant plasma cells
36.Immune response initiated by T cells
37.Seen in patients with B12 deficiency sometimes; numbness or tingling
42.Gout
44.One disease causing malabsorption; may lead to deficiencies
45.Electrolyte imbalance noted in Tumor lysis syndrome; requires kayexelate or medication "cocktail" to address
46.surgery to reduce tear loss in Sjogren's

Down
2.Bone marrow issue: too many cells, abnormal functions; don't do their jobs properly
3.Antigen to antibody clumping for cellular feasting
4.Joint disease starting near smaller joints of the extremities; "swan's neck"
5.Exposure to disease or vaccine; moderated by body response for immunity
6.Baby erythrocyte
8.System less likely affected by folate but more by B12 deficiency?
9.Core sample taken of cellular matrix within bones to determine functional level and health
13.Platelet numbers of 50000 rather than normal level of 150-450000 per microliter
14.Immune response primarily mediated by B cells and antibodies
18.Hallmark symptom of SLE
19.One of the antihistamines; useful for premedication, or to prevent or mitigate mild hypersensitivity reactions
23.Immunity that is given via temporary measure: IVIG, or through mother to baby
24.Don't forget to check this when assessing for anemia!
25.Joint disease usually targeting the lower back and pelvis
29.Acute and systemic hypersensitive reaction; Severe Type I reaction
30.Most common anemia worldwide, any age group
31.Essential to absorb B12 for use
33.Born in the marrow, grow in the thymus
34.For blood products and IVIG, this is helpful to prevent milder hypersensitivity reactions; give 30 minutes prior to prodedure
38.Better to give this to a patient with neutropenia than a raw fruit.
39.Chemotherapy to induce remission in leukemic patients
40.When cells burst, this syndrome results
