Discover causes & implications of high neutrophils, from general neutrophilia to absolute neutrophilia, a key blood cell elevation.
White Blood Cells
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
EoE: Chronic esophageal inflammation. Dysphagia, food impaction. Diagnosis: endoscopy, biopsies. Treatment: diet, meds, dilation.
AL Amyloidosis (Primary Amyloidosis)
AL amyloidosis occurs when misfolded light-chain proteins deposit in organs. Prompt treatment improves outcomes.
Leukopenia (Low White Cell Count)
Leukopenia: Low white blood cell count, weakening immunity. Learn about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of this condition.
Lymphadenopathy
Lymphadenopathy explained: Learn about swollen lymph nodes, their common causes (infections, inflammation, cancer), key symptoms, diagnostic tests (blood work, biopsy), and available treatment options. Understand when swollen glands are a cause for concern.
Basophilia (High Basophils)
Basophilia is when basophil count are elevated. It often signals underlying issues like MPNs, allergies, or inflammation.
Leukemia: An Overview
Leukemia: Hematopoietic malignancy affecting blood cell production, presenting with cytopenias, blasts in peripheral blood, and requiring prompt diagnosis & treatment.
Lymphoma
Lymphoma: Diverse malignancies of lymphocytes. Hodgkin’s & Non-Hodgkin’s subtypes present with swollen nodes, fever, night sweats, fatigue.
Flow Cytometry Immunophenotyping of Blood
Blood cells stained with fluorescent antibodies reveal hidden markers, like a cellular fingerprint. Flow cytometry analyzes millions of cells, painting a detailed picture of immune health, disease clues, and treatment insights.
Immunohistochemistry Staining (IHC)
This immunohistochemistry protocol guides you step-by-step through visualizing specific proteins in tissue sections, aiding in accurate diagnosis of various diseases.
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS): An Overview
MDS is a blood disorder where bone marrow malfunctions, causing abnormal blood cell production. Symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and infections may occur.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing and aggressive blood cancer that arises from the uncontrolled growth of myeloid cells in the bone marrow.
