Deficiency of white blood cells
Census normal ranges for white blood cells between 4.000 to 10,000 cells per cubic milliliter of blood, and is divided into two main sections:
Granulosa cells (Granulocytes)
Containing granules in the cell means (Alsitoblazema) surrounding the nucleus of the cell, and is subdivided into three types, neutral or neutrophil cells (neutrophils), and acidophilic cells (eosinophils), and basal cells (basophils).
Granulosa cells (Agranulocytes)
And that do not contain granules Balsetoplazema, and is divided into three types: lymphocytes (lymphocytes), and single cells (monocytes), and macrophages or Agma (macrophages).
And occurring case of deficiency of white blood cells (leukopenia) at low rates with blood during the sessions of chemotherapy, and the inability of the bone marrow is frustrating for the production of alternatives to mind too, as they may fall level to 500 cell mm 3 or less, except that the patient is in need actual Once the low census below the level of 1.000 cell mm 3, and plays a white blood corpuscles to the main role in infection control and eradication of alien attacking the body, fall in population weakens the immune system and exposes the patient to various types of infections picked up easily, requiring careful monitoring of fluctuations in the census in anticipation of it.
And the focus is on a permanent basis when you receive doses of chemotherapy on the rate of granulosa cell, especially cells neutral, the main role in the fight against infection various, as is the sharp decline in the rates of cell neutral of the most important indicators of high risk to cancer patients to infection, and in anticipation of it is calculated neutral total cell count (absolute neutrophil count ANC) when the total blood conduct a census to determine the body's ability to fight infection, the rate of natural population ranges between 2500 to 6000 per cubic millimeter on the cell, and when the overall rate of decline to the level of 1000 or less is considered a cell patient in the case of Oz cells neutral (Neutropenia), and more vulnerable to any infection, while at the level of 500 or less is considered in need sharp, and take all precautions, including the initial use of antibiotics as a precaution, and may isolate the patient completely to maintain for his safety, as well as to modify the therapeutic doses or postponed until the return of the census to the appropriate level, (please go to page censuses blood for more details on the rates of the census).
And in this regard it should be noted that the state of neutral cell deficiency may be caused by reasons other than chemical drugs, such as taking certain medications, or as a result of the impacts of the same tumors, so it requires addressing the situation of destitution need to identify the reason behind it.
