leukocytosis - a specific disease, which is diagnosed when increasing the number of leukocytes (white blood cells) in the blood. In this case, indicators of leukocytes in the blood are at a level of 10,000 \ ml of blood, with normal white blood cell count is up to 8000 \ mC.
Overview
Leukocytosis - a pathology, symptoms that adversely affect immunity and health status in general. This deviation can be both physiological and pathological, as a sign of the presence of multiple diseases of organs and body systems. It is known that white blood cells are produced in bone marrow and are a shield for the reproduction of abnormal cells. This must be considered when treating leukocytosis.
Level leukocytes may increase or decrease due to stress, hormonal imbalance, drug particular food, etc. If a healthy person increases the number of white blood cells, this condition is called physiological. If the increase is more than several thousands or tens of thousands diagnosed pathologic disease type, which is an alarming signal.
Causes
The main causes of physiological disease type:
- stress;
- physical exercise;
- consumption of large quantities of food rich in protein;
- childbirth;
- pregnancy;
- PMS or menstruating;
- temperature changes.
- acute lekotsitoz;
The main causes of pathological types of disease:
- inflammatory processes not caused by microbes (e.g., measles, rubellaLupus);
- infectious diseases (e.g., brain damage, pneumonia);
- inflammation caused by microbes (e.g., mononucleosis);
- malignant tumor;
- diabetes;
- massive blood loss;
- diseases of the circulatory system (e.g., leukosis);
- infarct state bodies;
- dermatological diseases;
- toxic effects;
- burns with a large affected area;
- tissue damage by mechanical injuries;
- poor nutrition;
- circulatory disorders;
- allergic reactions;
- autoimmune diseases;
- use of medications.
The main causes of child leukocytosis:
- stress;
- physical exhaustion;
- infection;
- national power.
Reasons lekotsitoza depend on the shape and form. The true reason is able to diagnose only an experienced doctor.
Classification
Main vidy:
- physiological (diagnosed in healthy patients);
- pathological (positioned as a manifestation of a disease organism).
Pathological divided into several types:
- neutrophil (developed on the background of increased neutrophils, diagnosed with chronic inflammation of the organs and systems);
- basophilic (develops against the background of increasing the speed of formation of basophils, diagnosed during pregnancy);
- lymphocytic (develops in the generation of large amounts of lymphocytes in acute infectious disease);
- eosinophilic (observed against generate large number of eosinophils, often diagnosed in the presence of protozoa in the gut);
- monocytic (found in malignant tumors, as well as in bacterial infection).
Also produce a so-called short-term form in which white blood cells are produced in the sharply a large number, but their number decreased after the elimination of the causative agent of the inflammatory process. This occurs against the backdrop of diphtheria, scarlet fever, sepsis, Typhus and other diseases. To determine the exact form of leukocytosis able only an experienced doctor on the basis of complex diagnostics.
symptoms
In most cases the initial stage of the disease is not accompanied by specific symptoms and diagnosed after a blood test.
The main symptoms of leukocytosis are as follows:
- body weakness;
- fatigue;
- general malaise;
- acute recurrent headaches;
- increased sweating;
- tingling sensations in the extremities and stomach;
- increased size of the liver;
- extends beyond the verge of the spleen;
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- sudden fainting;
- bleeding in the mucous membranes;
- difficulty breathing;
- stains of blood in different parts of the body;
- fever;
- underweight;
- lack of appetite;
- violation of visual function, and so on. n.
As is known, leukocytosis is not a separate disease. Typically, such a pathology is considered a signal of serious diseases of the body (most commonly - blood disorders).
Diagnostics
To identify this disease it is necessary:
- pass complete blood count;
- pass the full blood count;
- perform a biopsy of the bone marrow;
- perform a biopsy of lymph nodes;
- a biopsy of the liver and spleen;
- pass the peripheral blood smear.
analyzes of transcript must complete an experienced therapist who on the basis of the results will be able to confirm or refute the diagnosis. If the warning signs are observed in the child, diagnostics and inspection is necessary to go to the pediatrician.
Treatment of blood leukocytosis
For the treatment of adult patients leukocytosis appointed:
- reception of antibiotics to prevent the development of blood poisoning;
- receiving anti-inflammatory drugs - antihistamines, steroid drugs that inhibit the development of inflammatory processes;
- antacid preparations use in order to reduce the acidity of urine;
- receiving chemotherapeutic formulas;
- execution leykafereznogo purification procedures, when extracted from the blood of all white blood cells, and the purified blood is transfused back to man;
- diet therapy (diet should be enriched products which stimulate the production of hemoglobin, the use of liver and meat should be limited to);
- vitamins of group B.
As a rule, for the effective treatment of leukocytosis is necessary, first of all, to treat the underlying disease that caused the increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood. For effective results should be treated with leukocytosis in the early stages of development. Very often the disease is diagnosed in pregnant women, and in this case, the treatment should take place under the strict control physician and gynecologist.
Treatment in children
children leukocytosis treatment differs significantly from adult therapy. In this case, held:
- elimination of the underlying disease is the cause leukocytosis;
- drug therapy (reception antiinflammatory, antibacterial agents, etc.);
- in extreme cases - leykafarez.
prevention
recommended for the prevention of:
- and prevention of bacterial infectious diseases;
- regular check-ups by a physician;
- regular submission of analyzes;
- systematic improvement of immunity;
- preventive examinations at specialists;
- adherence to the principles of a balanced diet;
- adherence to a healthy daily regimen;
- for pregnant women - a healthy sleep at least eight hours a day and good nutrition.
danger
The main danger - a complication of the disease, which became the cause of the disease. It may also develop leukemia, malignant tumors, etc. Status of pregnant women with this diagnosis may worsen until the premature birth or developmental abnormalities in the fetus. Physiological leukocytosis danger, as a rule, does not represent and is easily corrected by the body without outside help.
Treatment of blood leukocytosis should engage an experienced therapist. You may need assistance to infectious diseases, gastroenterologist, nephrologist, urologist, gynecologist, urologist, etc.
