AB Hematological abnormalities, characterized by cytopenias, are a problem
commonly encountered by persons with HIV or AIDS. Cytopenias can be
multifactorial in their causation and potentially life threatening to
this population. An understanding of the various causes of these
cytopenias and the appropriate nursing care are tantamount to nursing
practice and to ensure quality of life. Goals of medical and nursing
care are directed at assessment, interventions, and patient education to
prevent or minimize the complications of hematological abnormalities.
This article reviews current knowledge regarding the causes,
pathophysiology, treatments, and nursing care of HIV/AIDS-related
hematological abnormalities.
