EoE: Chronic esophageal inflammation. Dysphagia, food impaction. Diagnosis: endoscopy, biopsies. Treatment: diet, meds, dilation.
White Blood Cells
AL Amyloidosis (Primary Amyloidosis)
AL amyloidosis occurs when misfolded light-chain proteins deposit in organs. Prompt treatment improves outcomes.
Sjögren’s Syndrome
Sjögren’s syndrome: An autoimmune disease causing dry eyes, mouth. Systemic effects is possible. Early diagnosis & management are key.
Neutropenia
Neutropenia is a condition with a low count of neutrophils, key infection-fighting white blood cells. This increases susceptibility to various infections.
Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono)
Infectious mononucleosis (Mono), the “kissing disease,” is a common viral illness (EBV). Symptoms include sore throat, fever, fatigue, and swollen glands. Usually resolves on its own.
Causes of Polycythemia
Polycythemia has high red blood cell count. Learn causes, symptoms (headache, fatigue), diagnosis (CBC, EPO), and treatment options.
JAK2 V617F Mutation Allele Specific PCR Protocol
Uncover the JAK2 V617F mutation, a key driver in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). Learn ARMS PCR, a reliable technique for diagnosis!
Abnormal White Blood Cell Morphology
Abnormal white blood cell (WBC) morphology, seen in a blood smear analysis, can indicate various underlying conditions. These include infections, deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or folate, or even blood disorders.
Leukocytosis
Leukocytosis: High white blood cells, body’s response to infection or inflammation. Not a disease itself.
White Blood Cells (WBCs)
White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are the body’s dedicated defense force. These diverse warriors, patrolling the bloodstream and tissues, play a crucial role in the immune system.
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.
