Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Leukemoid Reaction

    a peripheral blood picture resembling that of leukemia or indistinguishable from it on the basis of morphologic appearance alone. (dorland, 27th ed)
  • Leukemoid Reaction

    a hematology test result that indicates the presence of an increased white blood cell count and increased neutrophil precursors resembling leukemia, in a peripheral blood smear.
  • Transient Leukemoid Reaction of the Newborn|Leukemoid Reaction of the Newborn|Transient Leukemoid Reaction of Newborn

    increased white blood cell count and increased neutrophil precursors resembling leukemia in a neonate or fetus. often, this is a response to medications received, infection or down syndrome.
  • Clonal Cytopenia with Monocytosis of Undetermined Significance|CCMUS

    a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm that fulfills the diagnostic criteria of clonal monocytosis of undetermined significance and is associated with cytopenia.
  • Clonal Monocytosis of Undetermined Significance|CMUS

    a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the presence of persistent monocytosis, presence of at least one myeloid neoplasm-associated mutation, absence of significant dysplasia or increased blasts in the bone marrow, absence of morphologic findings suggestive of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia in the bone marrow, and absence of history of a reactive condition that would explain the persistent monocytosis.
  • Monocytosis

    abnormally high level of monocytes in the blood.

Patient Education


Blood Disorders

Your blood is living tissue made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Blood disorders affect one or more parts of the blood and prevent your blood from doing its job. They can be acute or chronic. Many blood disorders are inherited. Other causes include other diseases, side effects of medicines, and a lack of certain nutrients in your diet.

Types of blood disorders include:

  • Platelet disorders, excessive clotting, and bleeding problems, which affect how your blood clots
  • Anemia, which happens when your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body
  • Cancers of the blood, such as leukemia and myeloma
  • Eosinophilic disorders, which are problems with one type of white blood cell.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
