Subject: could these blood results indicate leukemia?
Date: 07/01/2007

9 month old with the following blood results:

WBC 11.2   (4.4-10.4)

Hematocrit  32.9  (33-39)

Platelets  504  (130-400)

Granulocytes  16  (42.2-75.2)

Lymphocytes  78  (20.5-51.1)

Absolute Lymphocytes  8.7 (1.2-3.4)

Aspartate Amino Transferease  47  (10-39)

No other symptoms present at this time. Had blood workup for something else.

 Some of these seem quite abnormal?

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks :O)

you cant diagnose leukemia from a CBC.  The WBC is a little high, but not that much.  Some other signs of leukemia include: Fever; Fatigue;Frequent infections; Swollen or tender lymph nodes, liver, or spleen; Paleness or pallor; Easy bleeding or bruising; Tiny red spots (called petechiae) under the skin; and/or Bone or joint pain.  What does your doc say from the physical exam?  The only actual way to diagnose is a bone marrow biopsy.

My initial CBC showed absolutely the presence of numerous blasts. In combination with my blood panel, symptoms and exam, the marrow aspiration was just a formality.

I waited way too long. 70% blasts in blood and bone. My marrow draw was "DRY"... if you suspect, get it checked.

blasts would definately be elevated in the blood,  but this would be viewed from a blood smear.
