Hyperviscosity in chronic granulocytic leukemia.

D H Hild, T J Myers

    Cancer
    |September 15, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL) can cause high white blood cell counts (WBC), leading to increased blood viscosity and potential vascular issues. This study confirms a link between elevated WBC and hyperviscosity syndrome in CGL patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm.
    • Elevated white blood cell (WBC) counts are characteristic of CGL.

    Observation:

    • A CGL patient presented with ischemic necrosis of three fingers.
    • This patient had a markedly elevated WBC count (256,000/cu mm) and increased whole blood viscosity.
    • These factors correlated with observed vascular insufficiency.

    Findings:

    • A study of 10 CGL patients revealed a direct correlation between increasing WBC count (or cytocrit) and whole blood viscosity.
    • Elevated WBC in CGL contributes to increased blood viscosity.

    Implications:

    • Increased blood viscosity in CGL may lead to vascular insufficiency and leukostasis.

  • The findings highlight the potential for hyperviscosity syndrome in CGL patients.
  • Understanding this relationship is crucial for managing CGL complications.
