Hematologic Disorders Flashcards
Increase in number of circulating WBC more than 11000/uL
Leukocytosis
Reduction in number of WBC less than 4400/uL
Leukopenia
Normal differential WBC consists of - Neutrophils
50% to 60%
Malignancies that arise from hematopoietic stem cells
Leukemia
Malignant transformation of one stem cell which proliferates in bone marrow and overflows into peripheral blood of affected pt
Leukemia
Major deficiency of erythrocytes, platelets and leukocytes
Leukemia
Less aggressive form of leukemia
Chronic Leukemia
Malignancy of myeloid immature WBC
Acute myelogenous leukemia
Type of acute leukemia common in adults
Acute myelogenous leukemia
Auer rods in myeloblast cytoplasm
Acute myelogenous leukemia
Uncontrolled proliferation of immature lymphoid cells in bone marrow
Acute lymphocytic leukemia
Type of leukemia most common in children
Acute lymphocytic leukemia
Type of leukemia most responsive to therapy
Acute lymphocytic leukemia
Malignancy of mature B lymphocytes
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Least malignant type leukemia, more in adults
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Neoplasm of mature myeloid WBC
Chronic myelogenous leukemia
Philadelphia chromosome
Chronic myelogenous leukemi
Chronic myelogenous leukemia progress into
Blast phase , more severe
Deficiency of normal cells and invasion of cancerous cells into tissue
Leukemia
Diffuse, non tender swelling that may or may not be ulcerated which results in diffuse gingival enlargement
Leukemia
Leukocytosis 30,000-100,000 per mm3 with mainly immature form
Acute leukemia
Leukemic cells only found in bone marrow and not in blood stream
Aleukemic Leukemia
Condition where granulocytic cells neutrophils are absent
Agranulocytosis
Trigger to autoimmune reaction which will destroy granulocytes
Agranulocytosis
Deep necrotizing punched out ulcers, palate & gingiva
Agranulocytosis
Granulocyte colony stimulating factor
Filgrastim
Regular periodic reduction in neutrophils
Cyclic neutropenia
