CBC 이상소견의 해석 및 추적 How to Interpret and Pursue an Abnormal CBC in Adults 혈액종양내과 방수미
Case 1 • A 40 -year-old man presents with a WBC count of 3× 109/L. The WBC differential reveals an ANC of 1. 2× 109/L. The patient is completely asymptomatic, and his family history, medical history, and medication history are all unremarkable. Review of old medical records shows that the patient usually has a mildly low WBC count.
Question 1 • Which one of the following is the next appropriate step? a. Bone marrow (BM) biopsy b. Hematology consultation c. Periodic monitoring of WBC count with no further investigation at this point d. Long-term use of myeloid growth factors to keep the WBC count normal e. Long-term use of prophylactic antibiotics
Neutropenia
Neutrophil Distribution
Case 1 (Var) AZA for Crohn’s disease G-CSF
TPMT deficiency (Thiopurine Methyltransferase) 2 months later
Leukocytosis • The first step: WBC differential to determine which step is in excess • PBS has additional role • Immaure precursors or blasts (leukemia) versus mature leukocyte types (neutrophilia, lymphocytosis, monocytosis etc)
Case 2 • A 57 -year-old man presents with persistent leukocytosis and lymphocytosis (absolute lymphocyte count, 14. 9× 109/L) for 2 years. The patient is asymptomatic, and has neither hepatosplenomegaly nor lymphadenopathy.
Question 2 • Which one of the following tests is the most useful for the diagnosis? a. Serum LDH level b. Chest and abdominal CT c. PB immunophenotyping d. BM histologic examination e. BM karyotype analysis
Diagnosis Monoclonal B-lymphocytosis • • PB lymphocyte < 5, 000/μL Absence of lymphadenopathy or organomegaly Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia • • • 1~2%/year • PB lymphocytes ≥ 5, 000/μL Larger, stypical, cleaved cells or promyelocytes PB < 55% Monoclonality should be proven using immunophenotyping (CD 5+, CD 19+, CD 20 dim, CD 23+) BM examination, optional Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma • • PB lymphocyte < 5, 000/μL Lymphadenopathy proven by histopathologic examination
Scoring system for CLL Scores in CLL range from 3 to 5 while in the other B-cell disorders are 0– 2.
Scoring system for CLL Scores in CLL range from 3 to 5 while in the other B-cell disorders are 0– 2.
Case 2 with f/u PLT ALC Hb Heavy drinking HBV reactivation
Case 3 • During evaluation for microcytic anemia in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, the patient’s serum ferritin level was found to have increased and transferrin saturation was 20%.
Question 3 • Which one of the following statements is true regarding this case? a. IDA is unlikely b. IDA cannot be ruled out c. The patient could have both IDA and ACD d. ACD is unlikely e. Thalassemia can be ruled out
Microcytic Anemia 항목 Iron deficiency Inflammation Thalassemia Sideroblastic anemia Smear Micro/hypo Normal micro/hypo Micro/hypo with targeting Variable Serum iron <30 <50 Normal to high TIBC >360 <300 Normal TS(%) <10 10 -20 30 -80 Ferritin <15 30 -200 50 -300 normal Abnormal with β thalassemia normal Hb pattern on normal eletrophoresis
Case 3 (Var) • During evaluation for the low hemoglobin of 8 g/d. L in a patient with Crohn’s disease with melena, the patient’s serum ferritin level was found to have increased and transferrin saturation was 9%. What is the adequate treatment for anemia?
치료 용량 용량 (mg)= (15 -Hb)×체중× 2. 3 + 1, 000 (여성은 500) 증례 = (15(M)/14(F)-8) x 체중 x 2. 3 *주의 사항: anaphylaxis (iron dextran제제) Iron carboxymaltose/sucrose/gluconate제제에서는 드뭄 1회 최대 처방용량이 1, 000/500/125 mg로 차이가 있음
Case 4 • During evaluation for military entrance in an 19 -year-old patient, the patient’s hemoglobin was 18. 8 g/d. L. ANC/platelet count were normal. He was not smoker and his past medical history was not remarkable.
Question 4 • Which one of the following tests should be performed at first? a. Serum erythropoietin level b. Arterial O 2 saturation c. JAK 2 V 617 F mutation test d. BM examination e. Abdominal CT
Approach to Polycythemia
Erythromelalgia
