Detect i stem cells that differentiates into myeloid cells

48
Q

Myeloid Leukemia: Assessments?

A

CBC, Bone Marrow Aspiration

49
Q

Myeloid Leukemia: Treatments?

A

Chemo, and HSCT.

50
Q

Myeloid Leukemia: what is HSCT?

A

They will draw blood and will take out the stem cells and give the donates stem cells to the patients.

51

Abrupt onset over period of weeks

53
Q

Acute Myeloid Leukemmia: What is happening here in body?

A

Insufficent prouduction of normal blood cells

54

Acute Myeloid Leukemmia: Signs patient will experience?

A

Fever/Infection. (Decreased neutrophil)

WEakness Fatigue. (Decreased rbcs)

Petechiae, Ecchymosis, Bleeding (decreased platelets)

Bone Pain

55
Q

Acute Myeloid Leukemmia: Treatment for this?

A

Induction therapy then HSCT

56
Q

Acute Myeloid Leukemmia: What is induction therapy?

A

Get high dose of chemo before they retransplant with stem cells

57
