| == Acute Myeloid Leukemia ==
| | #REDIRECT[[Leukemia]] |
| | |
| === Background ===
| |
| | |
| *aka Acute myelogenous leukemia or non-lymphocytic leukemia
| |
| *Most common acute leukemia in adulst (around 80% of cases)
| |
| *65yo is median age of diagnosis, Male:Female 5:3
| |
| *characterized by clonal proliferation of myeloid precursors(blast cells >20% in the periphery)
| |
| | |
| === Diagnosis ===
| |
| | |
| *Presents with anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia,
| |
| *weakness, easy fatigability, infections, gingival bleeding/enlargement, ecchymoses, epistaxis, menorrhagia
| |
| | |
| <br>
| |
| | |
| === Work-Up ===
| |
| | |
| *CXR
| |
| *CBC with peripheral smear
| |
| *Chem7, ca, mg, phos, Uric Acid, UA, LDH (to check for Tumor Lysis)
| |
| *LFTs, Coags, FDP, D-Dimer, Haptoglobin, Fibrinogen (to check for DIC)
| |
| *Get extra purple top for flow cytometry, especially before transfusion
| |
| | |
| <br>
| |
| | |
| === Treatment ===
| |
| | |
| *Aggressive IV hydration
| |
| *If febrile, complete cultures and broad spectrum antibiotics
| |
| *Manage Complications

| == Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia ==
| |
| | |
| === Background ===
| |
| | |
| *characterized by proliferation of immature lymphoblast( >20% in periphery)
| |
| *less than 20% of acute leukemias in adults, most common form in children (see also Acute Leukemia Peds)
| |
| *Highest incidence in 7th decade of life
| |
| | |
| === Diagnosis ===
| |
| | |
| *Lymphocytosis, neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia,
| |
| *Lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly
| |
| *CNS and testes involvement common
| |
| | |
| === DDX ===
| |
| | |
| *Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas
| |
| | |
| === Work-Up ===
| |
| | |
| *Aggressive IV hydration
| |
| *If febrile, complete cultures and broad spectrum antibiotics
| |
| *Manage Complications
