Practical Hematology 1.Determining the cause of anemia 2.Treating regenerative anemias Blood loss Hemolysis 3.Treating non-regenerative anemias 4.Blood & plasma transfusions in general practice 5.Determining the causing of coagulopathies 6.Treating coagulopathies in general practice 7.Finding the source of leukocytosis 8.Bone marrow sampling

Leukocytosis Total WBC x %cell = absolute Use WBC percentages only to calculate absolutes Count: Neutrophils Bands Lymphocytes Monocytes Eosinophils Basophils Look at the blood smear for every CBC with abnormalities

DDx Neutrophilia Infection Sterile inflammation Necrosis Stress/corticosteroids Exercise/epinephrine Neutrophilic leukemia Neoplasia

Left Shift Left shift indicates acute, intense inflammation >1000/ul bands = left shift /ul = mild left shift immature unsegmented neutrophils indicates a more intense inflammation Metamyelocytes Myelocytes promyelocytes Peripheral myeloblasts often indicates leukemia “Degenerative Left shift” = overwhelming inflammation Normal pyramid of maturation is interrupted Usually, the more mature forms are more plentiful Segs > bands > meta > myelo > pro > blast

Chronic Inflammation Monocytosis indicates inflammatory process is at least 10 days old Elevated globulins also indicate chronicity Left shift rarely seen WBC can be normal with significant chronic inflammation Other clues: Recurring fever Increased rouleaux formation Vasculitis can develop with time Normal leukogram does not rule out significant infection or inflammation

Prognosis for Neutrophilia Poor prognostic indicators Progressive degenerative left shift WBC > 60,000/ul correlated with increased risk of sudden death in dogs Extremely high mature neutrophilia “Leukemoid response” Marked toxic changes in the neutrophils Graded 1+ to 4+ <1000/ul neutrophils Obvious infection without fever Severe persistent lymphopenia Sustained stress on the body Magnitude of feline neutrophilic response is less than canine

DDx Leukemoid Response Internal abscess Pyometra Bacterial prostatitis Pyothorax Pancreatic/hepatic abscess Neutrophil count often will continue to accelerate for at least one week after resolving abscess IMHA Neoplasia Hepatozoon canis

Stress/Corticosteroid Response <40,000/ul in the dog <30,000/ul in the cat Lymphopenia Eosinopenia Monocytosis Mature neutrophilia Increased hypersegmented segs “right shift” Onset within 4-13 hours Resolves within 24 hours

Epinephrine/Exercise Response <40,000/ul in the dog <30,000/ul in the cat More of a problem in cats Lymphocytosis Increased HCT

Neutropenia DDx: Excessive peripheral consumption Infection Necrosis IM neutropenia Bone marrow disease See non-regenerative anemia Test for parvovirus Diarrhea < 2 years of age Immunosuppressed Swab tonsils then rectum

Neutropenia Treatment Treat obvious causes of infection, necrosis or inflammation If no obvious causes, work up for occult infection Discontinue myelosuppressive drugs Prophylactic antibiotics 1500/2000/ul - amoxicillin <1500/ul – amoxicillin and quinolone Clindamycin and quinolone Metronidazole and quinolone If septic, IV antibiotics

Neutropenia Treatment Recheck CBC weekly Bone marrow sampling of no response Sooner if bicytopenia or pancytopenia FeLV IFA in cats Neupogen if maturation arrest GCSF - Granulocyte colony stimulation factor Doxycycline then Immunosuppressive therapy for IM neutropenia

Work-Up for Occult Infection FeLV/FIV test in cats Heartworm test in dogs CBC General health profile Electrolytes and venous blood gases Thoracic and abdominal x-rays Abdominal ultrasound Urinalysis and urine culture Look especially hard for infection if: Toxic neutrophils Degenerative left shift Pronounced rouleaux

Work-Up for Occult Infection Echocardiogram if murmur murmur murmur“to and fro” murmur at left heart basemurmur bounding pulses Blood culture when febrile use ARD (antimicrobial removal device) if on antibiotics 2 samples several hours apart Collect aseptically CSF tap if neck pain or CNS deficits Joint taps if joint swelling CPK if muscle pain Muscle biopsies if Hepatozoon suspected or increased CPK

Monocytosis Chronic infection >10 days Necrosis Infection viral (especially FIP) Fungal Mycobacterial L-form, mycoplasma, Ureaplasma Parasitic Foreign body Neoplasia Immune mediated inflammation Corticosteroids (lymphopenia, eosinopenia)

Lymphocytosis Stress/corticosteroid response Chronic infection viremia Immune mediated disease Recent vaccination Lymphoid neoplasia Ehrlichia spp. Addison’s Disease

Lymphocyte Lymphocytosis

Activated lymphocyte Lymphocytosis

Lymphocytosis Immunoblast

Atypical lymphocytes Lymphocytosis

Lymphocytosis Activated lymphocytes Large, immunostimulated lymphocytes Dark blue cytoplasm with perinuclear clear zone Irregular, scalloped or cleaved nuclei Not terribly clinically significant Immunoblasts Lighter, more lacy chromatin Prominent nucleoli or nucleolar rings Atypical lymphocytes Characteristics of malignancy Darkly basophilic cytoplasm Large and atypical nucleolus Immature granular chromatin

Eosinophilia Infection Parasitic Fungal Viral – FeLV Streptococcus, Staphylococcus spp. Allergy/asthma Immune mediated disease Hypereosinophilic syndrome Eosinophilic granuloma Mast Cell Tumor Other neoplasia Lymphoma Mucinous carcinoma Canine estrus

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) Primarily a disease of cats Persistent eosinophilia Organ infiltration with eosinophils Bone marrow Spleen Liver Lymph nodes (often mesenteric) Gut skin Clinical Signs Diarrhea, vomiting Anorexia, weight loss Fever Pruritus, lymphadenopathy

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) Abdominal masses are possible Eventually causes organ failure and death Difficult to distinguish from eosinophilic leukemia (EL) May be two forms of the same disease More immature eos in circulation with EL Treatment No known effective treatment Cortisteroids – immunosuppressive Hydroxyurea Alpha interferon Gleevec (imatinib) has been used in people

Basophilia Basophils can be difficult to identify Mistaken for monocytes or eos Parasites Allergy Mast Cell Tumor Lipemia Basophilic leukemia (very rare).

Leukemia Malignant blood cells (usually blasts) in circulation Or >30% malignant blood cells (usually blasts) in the marrow Often accompanied by cytopenias in other cell lines Clinical signs Hepatosplenomegaly Lymphadenopathy Fever, weight loss Symptoms of cytopenias

Leukemia Cell lines of leukemia Acute undifferentiated (stem cell) Erythroleukemia (RBC and grans) Myelomonocytic (monos & grans) Granulocytic Neutrophilic, Eosinophilic, Basophilic Monocytic Megakaryocytic Lymphoblastic Lymphocytic Mast Cells Plasma Cells

Leukemia Types of leukemia All originate from the bone marrow Aleukemic leukemia – no cancer cells in circulation Subleukemic leukemia – small amounts of cancer cells in circulation Leukemic leukemia – many cancer cells in circulation Maturity of leukemia Acute leukemia – proliferation of blasts, tends to be more severe Chronic leukemia – proliferation of more mature blood cells, tends to be less severe

Leukemia Pre leukemia Bone marrow dysplasia, with maturation arrest Usually presents as cytopenia of the affected cell line Causes FeLV B12 and folate deficiencies Drug and toxin exposure Sometimes responds to treatment with prednisone and cell line stimulators (Epogen, Neupogen) Multiple CBCs over time to monitor for leukemic leukemia
