Pathophysiology


Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL):
Pathophysiology

What is pathophysiology? It is the process that leads to the disease or injury.
ALL is a cancer that originated in the bone marrow, when white blood cells replicate out of control.  These immature white blood cells take the space of mature cells. 
Below is an image from my first blog post, but it is a perfect image to walk through in order to explain this disease process.

First, we have the blood stem cells that originate in the bone marrow.  It is here that the cells divide into myeloid cells or lymphoid cells.  Myeloid cells further divide into red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells.  The lymphoid stem cells further divide to different lymphocytes.  It is the lymphoblast cells that begin to replicate out of control taking the place of health mature cells.  These immature cells are not able to function normally or fight infection for the body. 

This image shows what the difference between a health patients blood vs. a patient with ALL.  This is am image at the microscopic level.  As you can see the leukemia slide contains much more monocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils- all of these coming being a subtype of white blood cells.

Here is a great video summarizing this weeks post!
