Treatment
1. Chemotherapy
  1. Terosine kinase inhibitors
    1. first generation
      1. Imatinib
    2. Second generation
  2. Other
    1. Methotrexate
    2. Folic acid

Investigation
1. History taking
  1. Ask for
    1. Fatigue, fever, weight loss, discoloration
2. Blood test
  1. CBC
  2. LAP
  3. Blood film
3. Other(genetic)
  1. FISH
  2. To see the morphology of chromosome
    1. Karyotype

  1. Fever
  2. Chills
  3. Fatigue
  4. Tenderness and pain
  5. Easy bleeding

  4. CML
    1. Huge splenomegaly
Hematopoiesis
Causes
1. Leukemia
  1. Translocation
  2. Inhibitor of apoptosis
  3. Mutation in Terosine kinase proncogene
2. Leukocytosis
  1. Infection
  2. Allergy
  3. irritants
3. Leukopenia
  1. HIV
  2. Autoimmune
  3. Chemo
Pathophysiology
1. Leukopenia
  1. Neutropenia
    1. Decreased granulocyte production
      1. Will increase risk of bacterial infection
    2. Increased gran. desctruction
  2. Lymphopenia
    1. Not common
      1. Leads to Viral infection
2. Leukocytosis
  1. Reactive leukocytosis
    1. Neutrophil
      1. Bacteria
    2. Eosinophil
      1. Allergy
    3. Basophil
      1. Rare
    4. Monocyte
      1. Chronic infection
  2. Leukomoid reaction
    1. Mimics leukemia
    2. increased LAP
3. Leukemia
  1. Lymphoid
    1. Chronic
      1. Most common leukemia
      2. B-cel hyperproliferation
      3. 50+ years
    2. Acute
      1. <15 years
      2. Tdt +ve
      3. Lymph adenopathy
      4. Clumped chromatin
  2. Myeloid
