2. Acute myeloid leukemia - Wikipedia

   Bone marrow: myeloblasts with Auer rods seen in AML. A complete blood count, which is a blood test, is one of the initial steps in the diagnosis of AML. It may reveal both an excess of white blood cells (leukocytosis) or a decrease , and a low red blood cell count and low platelets (thrombocytopenia) can also be commonly seen. [22]

3. Acute myelomonocytic leukemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_myelomonocytic_leukemia

   It has been said that acute myeloid leukemia can occur from a progression of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia type 1 and 2. [7] Normal red blood cells decrease and a rapid proliferation of the abnormal myeloblasts occur. [2] Apoptosis functional ability decreases which causes a back up of myeloblasts in the bone marrow and blood. [2]

4. Acute monocytic leukemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_monocytic_leukemia

   Acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL, or AML-M5) [2] is a type of acute myeloid leukemia. In AML-M5 >80% of the leukemic cells are of monocytic lineage. [3] This cancer is characterized by a dominance of monocytes in the bone marrow. There is an overproduction of monocytes that the body does not need in the periphery.

5. Pancytopenia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancytopenia

   Pancytopenia usually requires a bone marrow biopsy in order to distinguish among different causes. [5] anemia: hemoglobin < 13.5 g/dL (male) or < 12 g/dL (female). leukopenia: total white cell count < 4.0 x 10 9 /L. Decrease in all types of white blood cells (revealed by doing a differential count). thrombocytopenia: platelet count < 150×10 9 /L.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hematologic_conditions

   Acute myeloid leukemia: C92.0: 203: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), also known as acute myelogenous leukemia, is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. [82] Polycythemia vera: Acute ...

7. Leukostasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukostasis

   Leukostasis (also called symptomatic hyperleukocytosis) is a medical emergency most commonly seen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. It is characterized by an extremely elevated blast cell count and symptoms of decreased tissue perfusion. The pathophysiology of leukostasis is not well understood, but inadequate delivery of oxygen to the ...
