Last Updated: Sep 12, 2000 Diseases of the Blood in Down Syndrome by Len Leshin, MD, FAAP Red Blood Cells In newborns, a common finding is an increased number of red blood cells. This does not appear to be harmful, and is often gone by 2 to 3 weeks of age. The cause for this is unknown, but doctors should check for heart defects in these babies. In children and adults with DS, it is common to see red blood cells that are larger than normal; this is called macrocytosis . This has been speculated to be due to an altered folate metabolism seen in Down syndrome, along with structural changes in the red cell membrane. Unless accompanied by anemia, macrocytosis does not require treatment. White Blood Cells Newborns with Down syndrome have an increased risk of having a condition called transient leukemia (also called transient abnormal myelopoiesis, transient blastemia or myeloproliferative syndrome). This condition resembles leukemia, but disappears on its own without treatment in just a few weeks or months. One researcher found that up to 10% of newborns with DS had evidence of transient leukemia on blood tests. On the blood test, the number of white blood cells is greatly above normal and there are immature white blood cells ("blasts") present in the blood as well. While this condition resolves without treatment, the concern is that there is an increased risk of these infants to develop leukemia later in childhood. In one study of 85 infants with transient leukemia, 30% went on to develop a type of leukemia called "nonlymphoid" (also called "myelocytic," or AML) within the next 3 years. The reason for the development of transient leukemia isn't understood, but is definitely linked to the extra 21st chromosome.

Blood Disorders Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed by Cancer Center Staff First Published: 1995 Last Revised: 1999 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION: BLOOD CELLS Blood cells, consisting of red cells, white cells, and platelets , are made in the bone marrow , a soft, spongy tissue found in the center of large bones. In healthy people, millions of new blood cells are produced each hour to carry out important body functions. red blood cells erythrocytes ) carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. white blood cells leukocytes ) fight infections and illness. platelets thrombocytes ) cause the blood to clot, a process that stops bleeding when there is an injury. The body carefully regulates the activity of bone marrow to produce the correct number of each type of cell. If this regulation process is disrupted and the marrow produces too many or too few cells, a blood disorder occurs. The blood disorders discussed in this booklet include: Essential Thrombocythemia Idiopathic Myelofibrosis Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia) Polycythemia Vera ... Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Also included: Coping with Stress Glossary of Terms Normal Blood Count Values All of these blood disorders require medical attention. Depending on your treatment, there may be long periods of time when you experience no symptoms, but you should always be alert to any changes that occur with your condition. If your symptoms arise or worsen, contact your doctor immediately. Also, feel free to contact your doctor with questions you have about your disorder, the treatment you are receiving, or any other concerns you may have.

Advanced Care for High-Risk Newborns Treatment Found for Blood Disorders Contact Us New Treatment Found for Devastating Blood Disorders Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have identified a breakthrough treatment for a group of devastating blood disorders that can cause heart failure and death. These disorders, called hypereosinophilic syndromes, are associated with allergies and are so severe that they can attack the heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract and skin. Characterized by severely elevated levels of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, these disorders have been increasing rapidly in recent years. Researchers tested a newly developed drug, Anti-IL-5, which blocks the eosinophil growth hormone Interleukin-5 (IL-5). The drug was originally developed to treat asthma and is under clinical trials for this use. Anti-IL-5 enabled one patient to stop regular vomiting and begin swallowing solid foods for the first time in years. Other patients reported improved respiratory symptoms and more normal lifestyles. The study was published in the January 2004 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Laserbeamed biochip detects blood disorders Albuquerque , 28 September 98 Molecular nanotechnology and nanomedicine scientific concepts involve the art of manipulating atoms in such a way that you can use their characteristics to build fully new materials and objects. As if scientists were to be offered "the finger of God" to create whatever they want. A team of researchers at the Sandia National Laboratory and the National Institutes of Health recently developed a biochip which in a flash detects blood disorders and nanometer-scale changes in cell structure by inserting blood samples into a laser beam generation process. Is this one of the first medical breakthroughs, nanophilosopher Michael Wisz has in mind when expressing his firm belief that "molecular nanotech will come with tiny probes cruising the bloodstream looking for foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria in a attempt to eliminate most of the infectious diseases"? The Sandia prototype device is able to track sickle-cell anemia as well as cell particles affected by the AIDs virus. The biochip outperforms the traditional pap smear tests in distinguishing between cancerous and healthy cells. The researchers even can monitor both unrestricted cell growth and cell death or apoptosis. This process of cell suicide is generated in cases where unwanted human tissue has to be removed in order to support the proper growth of organs, limbs and neurons. The new device acts as a lab-on-a-chip, inserting fluids into a micro-laboratory for on the spot display of results. This speed of diagnosis can save many people's lives in situations of terrorist biological or chemical attacks. Under normal conditions, patients no longer need to wait for the results after a blood test.
