Week 3 friday Flashcards
bone marrow aspiration
only collects bone marrow
bone marrow biopsy
collects bone marrow AND bone
Jamshidi needle is used
type of myeloid leukemia
acute and chronic
type of lymphoid leukemia
acute lymphoblastic leukemia chronic " Hodgkins lymphoma non " MM
acute leukemia pathphys
AML
ALL (lymphoblastic)
prolif of IMMATURE myeloid or lymph in bone marrow
Caused: clonal expanion and maturation failure form genetic defect that arrets in BLAST PHASE
Causes crowding and hurts other cell lines
findings in acute leukemia
sudden onset
bone marrow failure (fatigue, infetion, bleeding)
bone pain
organ infiltration
lab findings in acute leukemia
IMMATURE blast cells
leukocytosis
anemia
thromobocytopenia
Acute myeloid leukemia (must know)
bone marrow prolif, think BLAST
20% is cutoff
bad prognosis
3 ways to check if leukemia is myeloid in origin
auer rods, dysgranulopoeisis (no granules), and cytochemistry
Auer rods
ONLY found in malignant myeloid ells
AML-M0 must know
increase blast (20% min)
need marker identification (need to use flo cyt)
myeloid peroxidase negative
AML - M1 must know
increase in blast cells.
NO maturation
auer rods
myeloid peroxidase POSITIVE
AML-M2 must know
increase in blasts
maturing neutro
t(8,21) in some cases (genetic abnormality)
AML - M3 must konw
increase in PROMYELOCYTES faggot cells (bunch of auer rods) dic disseminated intravascular coagulation t(15:17) found in ALL cases (better prognosis)
dic disseminated intravascular coagulation
form clots all over body from granulation stimulated coag system
use it all up and then bleed out
NEED SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR THESE PATIENTS
faggot cell
diagnosis for acute promyelocyte leukemia
AML m4 must know
incrase myeloblast incrase monocyte extramedullary TUMOR masses -found often in CNS (inv16) genetic abnormality in SOME
AML M5 must know
increase MONOCYTES
Non specific esterase POSITIVE
M5A M5B
extramedullary tumor masses
extramedullary tumor masses found in?
AML M5 AND AML M4
AML m6
increase erythroblast
incraese myeloblast
DYSERTHROPOIESIS
AML M7 must know
incrase MEGAKARYOBLAST
myeloid peroxidase negative
need markers
myeloid peroxidase positive and negative?
negative in M0 and M7
positive in M1
