A thinner-than-normal buffy coat in a patient may indicate a reduction in white blood cells, which can be associated with certain types of leukemia. However, the buffy coat can also be influenced by various factors, such as anemia or infections. Diagnosis of leukemia requires a comprehensive evaluation, including blood tests, bone marrow analysis, and clinical assessment. Therefore, while a thinner buffy coat can be a suggestive finding, it is not definitive for leukemia on its own.
