Leukemias Involving Cells Other than Lymphocytes
Hyperphosphatemia, Hypocalcemia and Hypokalem
- Most Common Family of Leukemias in Children Younger than 1 Year of
- Tumor Lysis Syndrome
Age
o Caused by Breakdown Products of Dying Ca
- Most Common Type of Leukemia in Adults (incidence increases as age
increases) o Causes Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy and Re

- Has Slight Predisposition for Males o Occurs in Patients w/ Malignancy of Lymphom

- Factors that may Cause Leukemias: o Hyperkalemia, Hyperphosphatemia, Hyperur
o Radiation and Hypocalcemia
o Chemicals (Leukemogens) = Drugs that cause Bone Marrow - Bone Marrow = Hypercellular = Greater than 20% o

Depression or Aplasia such as Chloramphenicol, Benzene and - Undifferentiated Leukemias = Blasts with No Obvio

Sulfonamides Intermediate Forms Present and Negative for Specia

o Genetics and Viruses - 2 Classifications of AML:

- Perform CBC, Peripheral Blood Film Exam, Bone Marrow Aspirate and o WHO = Based on Cytogenetics and Molecul

Bone Marrow Biopsy  At least 20% Blasts in Bone Marrow to

- Causes ANT = Anemia, Neutropenia, Thrombocytopenia o FAB (French-American-British) = Based

- WBC Count is Variable Cytochemistry
- Has Nonspecific Clinical Presentations:  Based on Romanowsky-Stained Blood F
o Pallor, Fatigue and Fever w/ Infections  Pseudo-Pelger-Huet Cells = Granuloc

o Bruising and Bleeding  Auer Rods = Acute Myeloid Leukemia
