[Liver and spleen macrophages function in patients with chronic leukemia]
Abstract:
Macrophagal function of the liver and the spleen has been studied using dynamic scintigraphy in 46 patients with chronic lymphatic and myeloid leukemia. There was an increase in the share of the spleen in total accumulation of radionuclide, shortening of the time of its capture by the liver macrophages and an increase in the indices of hepatic and splenic clearance with the same total time of drug elimination from the blood. The above changes became more distinct with leukemia progression and seem to be more severe in chronic myeloid leukemia.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
