Hematology: Leukemia and Non-malignant Leukocyte Flashcards
abnormal uncontrollable proliferation of one or more hematopoietic stem cell in the BM and blood
Leukemia
3 manifestations of leukemia
bleeding
anemia
infection
classification of leukemia that is sudden in onset
acute or chronic?
acute
classification of leukemia that is variable wbc and higher proliferative state
acute
hematopoietic malignancy classification that divides acute leukemia to lymphblastic (L1 to L3) and Myeloblastic (M0 to M7)
FAB Classification
classification that is standard for diagnosis now
WHO
microscopic study of evaluation of chemical constituents within individual cells
Cytochemistry
PAS
Sudan Black
Toluidine blue
Iron stains
(PIS T)
are what classification of cytochemical stains
Non Enzymatic stains
cytochemical stain increased in pregnancy, infections, polycythemia, aplastic anemia
LAP
Is EDTA used in LAP stain? Yes or No.
No. It inhibits reaction.
Normal score of LAP
15-170
strong blue precipitated staining is graded what in LAP score
3+
deep blue with no visible cytoplasm
4+
stain that differentiates AML from ALL
MPO
AML is ___ on MPO.
Positive or negative?
positive
stains primary granules in granulocytes and monocytes
MPO
DIFFERENCE of SBB and MPO
In SBB smears does not have to be fresh
stains specific for granulocytic cells and stains black
Specific Esterase (NASDA)
differentiates monocytic leukemia from granulocytic leukemia
Non-Specific esterase
difference btwn nonspecific and specific esterase
NSE =
monocytes are +
granulocytes are -
SE =
monocytes are -
granulocytes are +
NSE that stains esterase in the monocytes and megakaryocytes
