What is Refractory anemia?
Bone marrow with less than 5% blast cells and abnormal red blood cell blasts
How is diabetes and myelodysplasia connected?
In Myelodysplastic Syndromes (or Diseases) the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Patients are usually elderly, who went through chemotherapy or radiotherapy at some earlier time for another malignancy. Depending on the percentage of blast cells (immature precursor cells = cells the bone marrow released into the blood before it "matured") the diseases classified as low grade (less than 5% blast cells) or High risk (more then 5% blast cells). Central diabetes insipidus (associated with decreased production/release of anti-diuretic hormone into the blood), is different from Diabetes Mellitus (lack/resistance to insulin hormone). On rare occasions, if the leukaemia cells infiltrate the Hypothalamus, severely enough to affects its anti-diuretic hormone balance, Central Diabetes Insipidus becomes a complication of Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
Are blast cells undifferentiated actively dividing cells?
yep :D
How quickly does leukemia spread?
In leukaemia infected white blood cells (leukocytes) accumulate in the blood and in the bone marrow. The bone marrow gets overwhelmed by the infected cells and cannot produce healthy, normal cells. Leukaemia is classified by the onset/progress/speed of the disease. Chronic leukaemia: - the onset and progress is slow, - mainly affects adults, - death occurs many years later. Acute leukaemia: - the onset and progress is abrupt, - can affect any ages, - death occurs rapidly if not treated. Blast cells (the least differentiated, precursor stem cell), signifies the acute stage. (Chronic stage does not have blast cells in the peripheral blood).
What cells are in the bloodstream?
Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.
What are the blast cells on a cbc test?
55 BLASTAS
What is the major difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
CAN BLOOD FLOW BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS IN THE BLOOD CELLS?
Blood cells are a part of blood. Blood is not a part of blood cells. Blood can't flow backward and forward within blood cells. Blood cells can flow backward and forward within blood.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
What makes up blood tissue?
blood cells
What are the three basic blood cells?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) Leukocytes (white blood cells) Thrombocytes (platelets)
What is the type of marrow that are the most blood cells produced?
Red and white blood cells.
