Sjögren’s syndrome: An autoimmune disease causing dry eyes, mouth. Systemic effects is possible. Early diagnosis & management are key.
White Blood Cells
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM): Rare lymphoma, excess IgM. Causes fatigue, neuropathy, & hyperviscosity. Early diagnosis & tailored treatment are key.
Dendritic Cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) process antigens & present them to T cells, triggering immune responses.
Causes of Polycythemia
Polycythemia has high red blood cell count. Learn causes, symptoms (headache, fatigue), diagnosis (CBC, EPO), and treatment options.
Neutropenia
Neutropenia is a condition with a low count of neutrophils, key infection-fighting white blood cells. This increases susceptibility to various infections.
Lymphocytosis (High Lymphocytes)
Lymphocytosis: High lymphocyte count. It can be a harmless immune response or signal serious conditions like leukemia.
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.
Leukocyte/Neutrophil Alkaline Phosphatase (LAP/NAP) Stain
The NAP stain is used to differentiate between granulocytes and agranulocytes based on their naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase (NASD-CE) enzyme activity.
T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-cell 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.
