Bone Marrow Flashcards
Toon need in bm aspiration
Jemshidi trephine and salah aspuration needle
Bone marrow in acute keukemia
Necessary for diagnosis
Usefuk for determining type
Useful for prognosis
Acute leukemia are defined by the presence of
Dec 20% blast in BM % of nucleated cells
Bm aspirate and trephine
Hypercellular
Blast dec 20%
Presemce of auer rods which AML type
Stains are to differentiate
AML And ALL
What stains posituve in AML
Sudan black and myeloperoxidase
Wbc cyt in aml can be
High, normal or low
Median wbc count in amo
15,000 ul
20000 of patients have
More than100,000ul
25-40% of pts in aml have
Less than 5000 ul
95% patients in aml have
Blast cells in blood smear
Distinguishing aml from allf
Light microscopy
Flow cytometry
Special stains
In light microscopy AML has
Auer rods, cytoplasmic granules
In light microscopy ALL has
No auer rods and granules
This has been useful tool in differentiating hematopoietic dse
Cytochemical staining of cells
Smears and imprints made from wht preferred
Bm, lymph node, spleen, peripheral blood
In enzaymatic technique this is used for ensure optimal enzyme activity
Fresh smear
Reacts with peroxide and release oxygen which oxidizes tte indicator dye and produce what color of granules
Speroxidase enzyme orange brown
Indicator dye of mpo
3 amino 9 erythrocarbazol
Enzyme mpx is found in the 1st granules of
Granulocyte, neutro, promyelocyte and eosino
In mox this may be weakly pos
Monocyte
Usualky positive and auer rods stain very strong
Leukemic myeloblast
Used to diff aml + and all -
Myeloperoxidase
Used for control slides promyelocyte-neutro
Normal bm smear less than 5yo
Color of myeloperoxidase
Brown black deposits
Formula of mpo
P-phenylene diamine + catecol+ h202
Color of chloroacetate esterase
Red deposit
Naphtol asd chloroacetate stable in
Diazonium salt fast corinth
