Study Notes
Blood Disorders and Diagnostic Tests
- Two major divisions of white blood cell diseases: Leukemia and Lymphoma
Hematopoiesis
- Hematopoietic stem cell begins the process of producing different blood cell types
- Each blood cell type is a product of a specific type of parent cell
White Blood Cells
- Types: Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Monocytes, Lymphocytes
- Abnormal conditions involving myeloid and lymphoid cells: Leukemia (bone marrow and blood) and Lymphoma (lymphoid tissues)
Leukemias
- Malignant diseases characterized by abnormal, nonfunctional white blood cells released into circulation
- Types:
- Acute leukemias: Undifferentiated (blasts) WBC in circulation
- Chronic leukemias: Immature WBC in circulation with compromised function (increased infections)
Red Blood Cell Disorders
- Primary abnormality: Anemia
Clinical Importance of WBC count with Differential
- A component of the Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Essential for diagnosing Leukemia and Lymphoma
