If splenic atrophy is present, during essential Target cells thrombocythemia, abnormal morphology includes: Howell-Jolly bodies Nucleated erythrocytes Acanthocytes In more than half of patients with Epinephrine thrombocythemia, the platelet-rich plasma does not respond to epinephrine. By what characteristic can thrombocythemia and The absence of an expanded red polycythemia vera be differentiated? blood cell mass in thrombocythemia. The chronic leukemias are usually characterized by leukocytosis the presence of what? The total leukocyte count is usually greater than 50x109/L and may exceed 300 x 109/L. what amount? Peripheral blood smears demonstrate increased segmented neutrophils and band forms, and numbers of mature granulocytic forms. What type smaller numbers of immature forms. of granulocytic forms are observed? Cytochemical studies are used less frequently for acute leukemias. chronic leukemias than for what other type of leukemia? In special cases, leukocyte alkaline phosphatase a leukemoid reaction (LAP) procedure is used to differentiate between CML and what other type of reaction? In CML, the LAP score is (decreased or increased decreased )as compared with a leukemoid reaction, in which a high score is usual. Because chronic-phase CML is highly responsive one to treatment, many patients experience at least how many remissions? Remissions can last from several weeks to months, asymptomatic with 60% of patients becoming what? The introduction of imatinib has fundamentally Chronic phase altered the management of patients with CML in what phase? It is recommended as the best single agent for Stem cell newly diagnosed patients who are not eligible for initial treatment by allogeneic what type of cell transplantation? A long-standing and universally accepted therapy Two for CML is allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Allo-SCT achieves its curative potential via at least how many mechanisms?
