Q

Is relative or absolute leukocyte count better? Why?

A

absolute - percentage can be misleading

each leukocyte has its own kinetics - rather know amount than percentage relative to their site

each leukocyte has its own functions

24
Q

What happens in lymphopenia?

A

glucocorticoid result in sequestration of lymphocytes in lymphoid organs - prevent migration

long-term glucocorticoid administration results in lysis of certain lymphocyte type or stages

25
Q

What is eosinopenia?

A

glucocorticoids inhibit release of eosinophils from bone marrow

26
Q

How does acute inflammation affect neutrophils?

A

left shift - release of cells from marrow to circulation and tissue

bone marrow keeps up with demand: high neutrophil count

27
Q

How does established inflammation affect neutrophils?

A

a lot more cells in marrow being produced becoming neutrophils

28
Q

What is a “leukemoid” neutrophilia?

A

marked left shift to include myelocytes

infectious processes such as prothorax, pyelonephritis, septic peritonitis, pyometra, abscess, and pneumonia

29
Q

What happens with chronic inflammation?

A

marrow proliferation

NOT much of a L shift

high M:E ratio

30
Q

Which species have more dramatic magnitude of inflammatory leukocytosis?

A

dogs and cats

31
Q

How does inflammation differ in cattle, sheep, and manatees?

A

sometimes minimal leukogram changes

increased acute phase proteins including SAA, fibrinogen, and haptoglobin

32
Q

What are inherited neutrophil defects with neutrophilia?

A

leukocyte adhesion deficiency I
leukocyte adhesion deficiency III

33
Q

What is leukocyte adhesion deficiency I?

A

defect in CD18 (B subunit of B2-integrin adhesion molecule) in Irish setter dogs and Holstein cattle

marked neutrophilia

adhesion molecules needed for neutrophils to bind to activate endothelial into tissues

34
Q

What is leukocyte adhesion deficiency III?

A

kindlin-3 protein deficiency in German Shepherds

lack of activation of leukocyte and platelet integrals

marked neutrophilia, platelet defect

35
Q

How is LAD I and LAD III different?

A

LAD III: includes platelet defect also

36
Q

Why do leukocyte adhesion deficiencies results in neutrophilia?

A

neutrophils can’t get out in tissues but stay in the blood

37
Q

What is neutropenia patholophysiology?

A

decreased marrow production

increased exit from the blood

shift from circulating to marginal pool

38
Q

What is pseudoneutropenia?

A

shift from circulating to marginal

39
Q

What happens with reduced granulopoiesis in the bone marrow?

A

decreased production = less in the blood

40
Q

What things cause neutropenia (decreased marrow progenitor cells) in the blood?

A

idiosyncratic drug reactions

estrogen toxicity in dogs and ferrets

cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs, colchicine toxicity

41
Q

What is myelophthisis?

A

form of bone marrow failure that results from the destruction of bone marrow precursor cells and their stroma

things that occupy space in marrow interfere with normal microenvironment

42
Q

What are examples of myelophthisis?

A

lymphoid leukemia (primarily ALL)
multiple myeloma
myelofibrosis
osteosclerosis
metastasis of lymphomas, carcinomas, and mast cell tumors

43
Q

What happens with dysgranulopoiesis?

A

neutropenia - not maturing out normally

high mitotic precursors and low mature

44
Q

What are examples of neutropenia regarding dysgranulopoiesis?

A

myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)

acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)

inherited cobalamin deficiency

45
Q

What is this an example of?

A

dysgranulopoiesis

46
Q

What is acute myeloid leukemia?

A

leads to the production of vast numbers of immature blood cells that ultimately crowd out the other normal cells in the blood

causes neutropenia

47
Q

What happens with excess tissue demand - increased utilization or destruction?

A
48
Q

What happens with shock?

A

pseudoneutropenia - shift from circulating to marginating

49
Q

What are some inherited neutropenias?

A

cyclic hematopoiesis in gray collies

trapped neutrophil syndrom in border collies

50
Q

What does (purulent) neutrophilic inflammation result in?

A
51
Q

What causes lymphocytosis?

A
52
Q

What causes neoplastic lymphocytes?

A

ALL
CLL
lymphoma

53
Q

What is chronic lymphocytic leukemia?

A

high lymphocyte count

54
Q

What causes lymphopenia?

A

corticosteroid induced
acute systemic infections
immunosuppressive drugs and radiation

55
Q

What causes monocytosis?

A

often occurs in association with neutrophilia

acute and chronic inflammation

glucocorticoids in dogs

56
Q

Is it normal to see monocytopenia?

A

not clinically significant

57
Q

What causes eosinophilia?

A

parasitic diseases (especially nematodes and flukes)

allergic hypersensitivities

eosinophilic granulomas

58
Q

What causes basophilia?

A

IgE-mediated disorders

usually accompanies eosinophilia

may be associated with mast cell neoplasia

59
Q

What causes mastocytemia?

A

mast cell neoplasia

dogs: inflammatory diseases, regenerative anemia, tissue injury, neoplasia other than mast cell tumors, and necrosis

cats: especially with splenic mast cell tumors
