Polycythemia vera (PV) is a blood disorder with excess red blood cells, potentially causing complications like blood clots and affecting quality of life.
White Blood Cells
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN)
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are blood cancers causing overproduction of blood cells. They can be chronic and require monitoring, with some risk of transforming to leukemia. Early diagnosis is key.
Leukemia: An Overview
Leukemia: Hematopoietic malignancy affecting blood cell production, presenting with cytopenias, blasts in peripheral blood, and requiring prompt diagnosis & treatment.
Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF)
Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) is a rare blood cancer affecting bone marrow, causing abnormal blood cell production & potential for enlarged spleen.
Essential Thrombocythemia (ET)
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by an abnormal increase in platelet production by the bone marrow.
Polycythemia Vera (PV)
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a blood disorder with excess red blood cells, potentially causing complications like blood clots and affecting quality of life.
T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL)
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), caused by uncontrolled growth of immature T cells.
B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a fast-growing cancer of the immature B cells in the bone marrow.
Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) stain
PAS stain is a histochemical technique that utilizes periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reagent to detect and visualize carbohydrate-rich structures in cells and tissues, such as glycogen, glycoproteins, and mucins.
Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that affects plasma cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies that help fight infection. In MM, plasma cells become abnormal and grow uncontrollably. This can lead to bone pain, anemia, and other complications.
Myeloperoxidase Reaction (MPO) Stain
A stain mainly used to differentiate AML from ALL and gives a bluish to brownish tinge in cells with lysosomal enzyme.
May Grunwald Giemsa (MGG) Staining
MGG stain is an intense Romanovsky stain to help with the visualisation of bone marrow smears.
