High eosinophil count in blood. May indicate allergies, infections, or other conditions. Symptoms vary. Diagnosis via blood test.
White Blood Cells
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment Strategies
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment: TKIs are the main therapy, targeting the BCR::ABL1 gene. Chemotherapy & stem cell transplant are also used.
Neutrophilia (High Neutrophils) & Absolute Neutrophilia
Discover causes & implications of high neutrophils, from general neutrophilia to absolute neutrophilia, a key blood cell elevation.
Lymphocytosis (High Lymphocytes)
Lymphocytosis: High lymphocyte count. It can be a harmless immune response or signal serious conditions like leukemia.
Leukopenia (Low White Cell Count)
Leukopenia: Low white blood cell count, weakening immunity. Learn about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of this condition.
Basophilia (High Basophils)
Basophilia is when basophil count are elevated. It often signals underlying issues like MPNs, allergies, or inflammation.
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.
Polycythemia Vera
Polycythemia vera is a rare blood cancer where the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells, thickening blood and raising clot risks.
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)
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.
