LEUKOCYTIC DISORDERS

Non-neoplastic alterations

Neoplastic Disorders Primarily Involving

Leukocytes

Page 11: Intro - WBC

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Help in establishing diagnosis e.g. Leukemia, acute appendicitis, IM

Help in establishing prognosis e.g. leukocytosis in Px w/ pneumonia or appendicitis is a

GOOD prognosis e.g. monocytosis in Px w/ tuberculosis is a POOR prognosis

Helpful in following the course of disease

toxic effects of chemotherapy is recognized and monitored thru WBC examination

Non-Malignant Changes of White Blood Cells

Quantitative (changes in numbers)

Qualitative (morphologic alterations)

Page 13: Intro - WBC

Quantitative changes of WBC

Includes: the total WBC count and; the relative & absolute concentrations of the diff’t WBC

Definitions: Leukopenia:

decrease in lymphocytes, segmenters or all cell types

Leukocytosis: increase in one or more cell types

Page 14: Intro - WBC

Relative vs. Absolute Values Relative percentage of each WBC

differential count

Absolute value gives the actual number of each WBC/L Calculation: Absolute count =Total WBC count x Percent

(as a decimal)

Definition Examples: relative neutrophilia, relative and absolute lymphocytopenia
