Ken Shared "UGC Picmaster Challenge" - 8 Picmonics
With Picmonic, facts become pictures. We've taken what the science shows - image mnemonics work - but we've boosted the effectiveness by building and associating memorable characters, interesting audio stories, and built-in quizzing. Whether you're studying for your classes or getting ready for a big exam, we're here to help.

Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
- B-cell lymphoma with monoclonal IgM production
- Generalized lymphadenopathy
- Increased serum proteins with M spike (comprised of IgM)
- Bleeding - viscous serum results in defective platelet aggregation
- Cold Agglutinin Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (C-AIHA)
- Raynaud phenomenon
- Visual and neurologic deficits (e.g. retinal hemorrhage or stroke) - IgM (large pentamer) causes serum hyperciscosity
- Treatment
- Acute complications: plasmapheresis (removes IgM from the serum)

- Error is inside the hepatocyte.... NOT due to a clogged bile duct
- Signs/symptoms
- Liver changes from Brown to Black
- Jaundiced (otherwise asymptomatic)
- labs

- Treatment
- NO excess urinary coproporphyrins
- no treatment necessary (benign disease)
