Leukemia "acute" threat to her. Need to know before it's too late

Cancer seems to be a life-threatening disease, people continued. The first is that no one wants to face.

The procedure in the treatment extremely difficult. Combined with the symptoms of the disease inflicted a heavy toll on the stage of cancer progression too.

Cancer is one of the many known as "leukemia" or leukemia. What happens to the white blood cells within ourselves. There is another kind of scary as well.

It is acute myeloid leukemia. Caused by abnormal cells in the bone marrow.

The proliferation of embryonic cells as well. It will only stop growing. The cells can not grow to normal.

Cause increased steadily. To inhibit the function of white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells.

Patients will occur in the short term. eruptions If not treated promptly. And died quickly In just the past few months.

Symptoms of Acute Leukemia

Due to acute myeloid leukemia It is caused by abnormal white blood cells in the embryonic stage. Has its origin in the bone marrow

When growing a lot in a short period of time. These cells will not grow further.

But back to inhibit the function of other cells. Including platelets

It then spread to organs such as the skin, accumulate in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and so on.

Patients showing symptoms more quickly. But in a short time. A few months if not treated.

It noted that the symptoms are fatigue, weight loss, anemia, bleeding disorders. Found blood spots under the skin There thrombocytopenia, fever infection easily.

This type of cancer cells Can establish itself as a diverse cells. Subdivided into species more common cancers.

As a result, each with different disease progression. The treatment is complicated To observe the shape of abnormal cells.

For its unusual happens in the genes or chromosomes. If Abuse Treatment The patient suffered a slump. And died in no time.

The classification of acute myeloid leukemia.

For the classification of cancer It is divided into two main categories, namely.

1. acute leukemia type reminded Lloyd (Acute myeloid leukemia - AML).The disorder is caused by a type of white blood cell, the mule Lloyd. Is the most common type.Occur at any age The most visible is used. The elderly over
2. acute leukemia type Paralympics foil (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia - ALL).The disorder is caused by a type of white blood cell, Lim foil. Patients found to be in childhood.Or old people's home This is a condition in which abnormal lymph nodes inserted in some cases.

The causes of leukemia.

For the cause of the disease is not as clear. It found that the risk factors. Will stimulate the creation of abnormal white blood cells.

The age group is increasing. The radiation exposure at high concentrations. Patients who had been treated with radiation or chemotherapy.

Exposure to some chemicals such as formalin, formaldehyde and benzene series and so on.

Patients with certain genetic diseases such as Down syndrome patients who are infected with the virus HTLV-1.

And patients with diseases of the bone marrow. But there are some groups that have this disease without any factor. Catalyze

The diagnosis of leukemia.

For diagnosis If the symptoms mentioned above. Doctors will perform blood tests and bone marrow as well.

The patient visits. After history It found that the symptoms that occur are carried out quickly.

Are associated with bone marrow Tumor cells were inserted through the tissue, and other organs. The function of the body's balance.

Symptoms, which shows clearly that there is a fever, bleeding, anemia, abnormal liver.

Lymph nodes, spleen, weight loss, some are swollen testicles. Bone and joint pain

And disorders linked to the nervous system. Cause nausea and vomiting due to increased pressure in the skull.

If patients are acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors have found larvae of the white blood cells in large quantities. Which is detected in the bone marrow and by organs.

The treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

For the treatment process Doctors will use a palliative until the patient goes into a crisis situation.

There will be a major component of blood, each tailored to the symptoms of the patients were living at the time.

With the use of antibiotics In patients with fever and a drop in white blood cells. The other case is a specific treatment.

The use of chemotherapy as the primary treatment. Which will focus on bone marrow function has returned to normal as soon as possible.

Is to reduce the amount of cancer cells less. The chemotherapy used in each period are different.

Because some cancer cells It is found in parts difficult to reach. The central nervous system You must use other drugs. He attributed therapy

However leukemia acute Often a source that has been stimulated by stress.

The girls are often exposed to work stress becomes chronic. Be careful symptoms

Keeping your mental health to relax If patients experience the symptoms listed above. It should be in consultation with a doctor is the best.

Disorders of hemoglobin

Disorders of the blood cells are the kinds hemoglobin disorders. Red blood stain abnormal Deformed red blood cells There is something wrong inside red blood cells. And red blood misalignment.

          The shape of red blood cells by microscopy is particularly important. Help diagnose various diseases as well. Some disorders may be specific to certain diseases. While some disorders may not be specific at all. Need more information Attributed diagnosis.

           Red blood cell disorder

Disorders of the blood cells in size, called anisocytosis.

1. large red blood cells called hemoglobin is macrocyte. The right to be larger than normal. The size is about 9-12 microns can be found in large red blood anemia Megalodon's elastic and liver in cases of anemia caused by a lack of vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Selig Red blood cells may find a large egg-shaped.
2. small red blood cells called hemoglobin microcyte is built to a size smaller than usual. Usually found in the middle of the cell with a stick lighter than a third of the red blood cells can be found in the Royal scepter thalassemia. Iron deficiency anemia And anemia caused by haemolysis.

          Red blood stain abnormal

        Red blood stain less commonly known as hypochromia red blood cells with a stick lighter, wider than 1/3 of the cells due to the amount of hemoglobin from the cells is reduced. Can be found in iron deficiency anemia. And chronic anemia.

The white blood cells

The blood of our people, including red blood cells, white blood serum and platelets. Although only about 1 percent of the blood volume. But the white blood cells that play a role in resistance to diseases. And infectious diseases
There are various types of leukemia Each type has different features, including.

• Neutrophils (New Nitro Phil's).
• Eosinophils (eosinophil granulocyte series).
• Basophils (basophil granulocyte series).
• Monocytes (monocytes)
• Lymphocytes (lymphocytes).

The function of white blood cells

The main function of white blood cells responsible for immunity of the body against the disease. Both against non-infectious diseases. Such as cancer, allergies and infections including viral, fungal and bacterial infections. White blood cells are created in the bone marrow and transported into the body through the lymph and blood cells, each type will act differently, but to work together, such as blood type Neutrophils act against bacteria. And cause inflammation Eosinophils and Basophils will act on Monocytes and Lymphocytes are allergic to act on the immune system.

Bring to boil, then check

He will make sure the patient chair, stretching his arm to draw blood. Officials would Arm above the elbow And detect blood vessels to penetrate. After cleaning, disinfecting the area to be drilled. Officials put the needle and the blood on the syrinx as desired. The authorities will loosen the hose Pull the needle out of the skin And use cotton or cloth gauze drill press area Press or roll up sleeves for a few seconds until the blood stops.

Normal values ​​of WBC

Adult (male / female): WBC count: 5,000 - 11,000 cells / cu.mm.

Outliers

Low white blood cells known as Leukopenia caused.

1. The body is being poisoned by drugs (drug toxicity) as a toxic cancer drug application module. Or chemotherapy (Chemotherapy)
2. Bone marrow contains hematopoietic perversity can not (bone marrow failure) as tumors, infections, medications press marrow.
3. The body is severely infected (Overwhelming infection) typically infected blood is high. If the infection is severe neutropenia.
4. The lack of certain nutrients such as vitamin B12 or iron phosphoric acid Alice etc.
5. Spleen overwork (Hypersplenism) by trapping white blood cells collected from a highly unusual.

White blood cells, known as leukocytosis.

1. The body may have been bacteria Pathogens, or disease, from which it enters the body. Therefore urged to boost white blood cell count is increasing.
2. Disease may create white blood cells from the bone marrow disorders. (Myeloproliferative disorders)
3. There may be some type of cancer, such as leukemia (leukemia).
4. May be due to an injury (trauma), as caused by stress. Hemorrhoids or accidental burns.
5. There inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or atopic allergy.
6. Potential conditions, lack of water
7. Thyroid function can too.
8. The steroid medication may be too long.

RESULTS

In the report, each of which may be used as well. Neutrophil, polymorphonuclear cell, PMN is all the same. The result would be white blood cells.

1. See that the number of white blood cells, which are found more or less may be above or below normal.
2. After looking at the number of white blood cells look kind of white blood cells. How many of each type that are compared to the number of white blood all. The report will come out in% as Neutrophil ................%.
3. If you want to know how much each type of cell, it has to be multiplied by the number of leukocytes% divided by 100 would be white blood cells of each type.
4. Considering the number of each type of white blood cell that is much less than the normal value.
5. Then look abnormal white blood cells that have irregular shapes. Or larva out much.

The Complete Blood Count

The integrity of the blood contains.

1. The white blood cell count (White Blood Cell Count, WBC) or the white blood cells of all kinds. Blood is usually combined value of approximately 5000-10000 cell / ml.

If the number is very low WBC may have low immunity due to disease or certain infections caused by certain viruses or diseases that are blood or bone marrow disorders such Aplastic Amemia atrophy. This will result in the creation of all types of blood all down.

If the WBC is very high May be caused by infection with the bacteria. You need to see results A type of white blood cell count. (Differential Count) if it contains a number of very high WBC, as many as four thousand five hundred or a thousand, it makes them suspect leukemia. But they will need more white blood cells. The larvae of the white blood cell count separately. Bone marrow examination or drill again Leukemia (Leukemia) may be normal or below-normal number of white blood cells also called Aleukemic Leukemia.

2. The type of white blood cell count. (Differential White Blood Cell Count) will report out a% of white blood cell types. So a combination of all kinds must be 100% fit the following key.

            2.1 million neutrophils (Neutrophils) is responsible for destroying bacteria. If the body is a bacterial infection or injury. New call to make a higher value, usually around 50-60% is very high, over 80%, and especially if I go. Higher volumes and WBC more than ten thousand or more. To evoke patients with bacterial infections.

            2.2 lymphocytes (Lymphocyte) seronegative or tablets. Have immunity to the body. Fight bacterial infections, chronic and acute viral infections if Lymphocyte volume ratio is very high up. Especially with Cy leukocytes (WBC) overall lower. May be due to a viral infection. Lymphocyte especially if the shape and growth disorders. Also known as Atypical Lymphocyte lot with. Hct high and low platelets are more common in people with dengue.

            2.3 monocytes (Monocyte) has anti-bacterial. Or germs at large This type of leukemia is not destroyed. And immunization with.

            2.4 eosinophil granulocyte (Eosinophils) is responsible for the destruction of toxic substances that cause allergic reactions of the body such as proteins, dust, pollen, etc. It also helps keep the blood remain liquid at all times clotting. Usually rare to find a 1-2% to as high as often found in allergy or parasite.

            2.5 basophil granulocyte (Basophils) has a substance heparin (Heparin), a substance that prevents blood clotting and building hysteresis vitamins (Histamine) to expand the walls of blood vessels. Will be higher in immune status are sensitive to stimuli.

3. Count the number of platelets (Platelet count) are blood cells. Similar pieces of red blood cells Is helping to stop the flow of blood at the wound. There will be approximately You are almost two hundred Up to two hundred The report may be reported as the number of cell / ml at the counter or from the time of eyes look blood stained slides. Estimate roughly as follows.

            - Adequate or adequate or regular fit.

            - Decrease or lower than normal or lower than normal. Often found in people infected with the virus, such as dengue or creating disorder or disease of unknown cause low platelets (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), which makes bleeding easy. And the rush of blood to the body.

            - Increase found in some conditions, such as severe inflammation. There are some kinds of tumors in the body. There is a sudden blood To stimulate the bone marrow to make platelets accelerate the bleeding wound and stopped the bleeding, they also have higher self by various stimuli was called Essential Thrombocytosis.

4. Count the number of red blood cells (Red Blood Cell Count, RBC) or the shape of red blood cells. The report will be released in several formats. By visual appearance This helps in many diseases such as Lilienthal said Las Simeon has told cursory or anemia. From a lack of iron, etc., and can sometimes be seen malaria in blood with. The number of red blood cells tells of the creation and destruction are more or less as the increased blood flow to the heart is reduced. Or pulmonary gas exchange is not enough. Or erythropoiesis much. The fee reduction Found in those who lack vitamin B, six or twelve. Or iron deficiency Chronic Infection The chronic kidney disease Or resulting from the creation of the bone marrow.

5 concentrations of packed red blood cells (Hematocrit, Hct) or the percentage of packed cell volume compared. All blood This is used to thicken anemia or blood Hematocrit Christmas. The increase will be in shock. Severe dehydration Or in the presence of blood increases. Hematocrit and Christmas is low in the blood. Leukemia Or patients with severe bleeding

6. The amount of hemoglobin flying. (Hemoglobin, Hb) hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to have flown into cells. And purify carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs. The airport decreased hemoglobin can be caused by blood loss. Malnutrition and anemia, particularly iron deficiency anemia indication. As with the normal Hb Hct often 1/3 times the Hct.

The CBC is saying what.

The CBC will feature the various counting the number of white blood cells (White blood cell count ; WBC count) for the detection of hemoglobin airport (Hemoglobin) detection, packed cell volume (Hematocrit; Hct) to the type of white blood cell (white blood cell differentiation) to examine the morphology or shape of red blood cells (red blood cell morphology), and forecasts the number of platelets (platelet estimation) includes disorders. platelets.

The benefits of the Keeping in mind the state of health of the body. And the risk of disease. This is helpful in the prevention and treatment of various diseases such as blood test to diagnose. To find abnormalities early to be useful for prevention. And keeping abreast of the disease.

Collection of blood to The blood drawn from a vein in the arm or wrist. The amount of 2.5 - 3 ml blood collection tubes containing the anticoagulant called EDTA (EDTA) as appropriate ratio. To prevent blood clotting to check.

How the CBC are:

        1. How to check the blood slides. And light microscopy And blood some spin to the blood concentration (volume packed cell) of the white blood cells are taken through the process destroys red blood cells and then put the slide and endoscopy to count white blood count again. one

The advantage to this method is a conventional method, of course, is well established in the medical world.

The downside is the need to take on a lot. For example, in the annual health check as a group can not be done because it takes quite a lot to do with the profile. Require personnel with expertise. Physicians diagnose some diseases require hematology.

          2. Check with approximately A method that uses the same principles as the first. But cutting step down and take a spin through the blood, the blood concentration. And view the slides The amount of white blood cells, it will estimate the amount of hemoglobin and other airports can not detect it.

The only positive is the cost savings.

The downside can be a diagnostic or screening. If you miss a chance and a lot more. And there is no evidence that is accepted in the medical community.

          3. Check with Fully automatic blood analyzer, a technology developed for the CBC in a big hospital. A blood sample to check it.

The advantage is fast and within one minute the result was definitely a little more, using the preliminary screening because it can detect the composition of the blood is very precious to 18-22 view all aspects. But there are limits. If test results are abnormal, must be repeated in one way because the microscope to see the shape of the stain of blood. Computers can not replace humans.

The downside is that the costs are 3-4 times higher than the first and second.

One of the considerations is that the CBC must be completed no later than 24 hours after the blood came. Because even if it has to put an anticoagulant to maintain the shape of the blood already. The size of the white blood out of the body will gradually break down and go on to examine whether the way. Make it possible to report the same. But that would not be true. Was wasted in vain because this hospital is to be noted that CBC is used a lot by the way, three to maintain quality. Although the costs will be many times higher.

Cell Therapy What is ...?

The immune cells that destroy malignant cells are concepts that occurred long ago. But it can not be done. Due to lack of sufficient technological advances But innovation has been used for the treatment. Has progressed to the point where it can be applied to create high white blood cell count that can fight cancer cells in the body already.

Cell Therapy What is ...?

        Cell therapy refers to cells used in the treatment of disease. After about ten years ago. Dr. Steven Rosenberg of the National Institute of Health. United States Success in the immune cells of patients with cancer, immunological labeling gene therapy injections to treat several types of cancer, such as metastatic kidney cancer. Color of skin cancer cells Found that cancer cells that break down with cancer therapy. And the introduction of immune cells surrounding the cancer cells in the patient's body (Tumor infiltrating lymphocyte) or immune cells in the blood (Lymphokine - activated killercell) for labeling antibodies. And cultured in the laboratory to increase and become stronger. These cells with high specificity to destroy cancer cells. And a patient's own cells, so there are fewer side effects. The immune system mimics the natural human body. But strengthened and amounted to more cells to destroy cancer cells depletion.

Ablation natural killing cells.

        Bringing innovative natural killing cells or NK cells to treat cancer. Today called Treatment NK Stimulation additives landscape (Cytokine-induced natural killercell) or treatment CIA K. (CIK Therapy) master remedy such research in countries such as the US, Europe, China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan to treat cancer CIT K is a blood sample. cancer centrifuge immune system cells in vitro cell culture, more and more strength.

The incidence of cancer in the patient's body is. Show that the immune system fails or a cancer cell. Avoid being destroyed by the immune system. Releasing toxins or cancer of the immune system. For that reason, we have developed a method to increase the number and strength of the immune cells of the body. And injected back into the patient's body for cancer therapy.

high white blood cell count

high white blood cell count

What are white blood cells?

White blood cells (leukocytes) help protect your body from infection. Normally, when germs get inside your body, your body makes more white blood cells that search for and destroy the germs. Less often, there are medical problems where the body may make a lot more white blood cells than it needs.

What happens when you have a high white blood cell count?

Your white blood cell count may be high because your body is fighting an infection. But other things can cause it, such as some medicines, burns, an illness, or other health problems. When your doctor sees that your white blood cell count is high, he or she will try to find out why, and then treat the cause.

What are the symptoms?

A high white blood cell count alone doesn't cause any symptoms. The symptoms you feel may come from the medical problem that your white blood cells are fighting. For example, if you have pneumonia, you may have a fever and trouble breathing. These are symptoms of pneumonia, not of a high white blood cell count.

How is it treated?

• Your doctor may do more tests to find the problem that's making your white blood cell count high. Once your doctor finds the problem, he or she may be able to treat it.
• Part of your treatment may be telling your doctor if you feel worse. Watch your temperature, and call your doctor or nurse call line if your fever goes up and stays up.
