    Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index The myelodysplastic syndromes is a collection of haematological conditions including: Refractory anaemia (RA) Refractory anaemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS) Refractory anaemia with excess of blasts (RAEB) Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia. (CMML) - not to be confused with CML All the conditions show abnormalities in the production of one or more of the cellular components of blood (red cells, white cells (other than lymphocytes) and platelets (or their progenitor cells megakaryocytes). These abnormalities include: neutropenia, anamia and thrombocytopenia (ie low cell counts) abnormal granules in cells, abnormal nuclear shape and size, chromosomal abnormalities. Symptoms of myelodysplastic conditions: Anaemia - chronic tiredness (in this condition blood transfusion is the only effective treatment) neutropenia or low white cell count - increased susceptibility to infection thrombocytopenia or low platelet count - increased susceptibility to bleeding. Because the cells function is impaired the effects of low cell counts may be greater than in other conditions with a similar cell count be less impairment of normal function.

    Extractions: The myelodysplastic syndromes are characterized by maturational defects and ineffective hematopoesis. The marrow appears normal to hypercellular. By definition, the marrow is less than 30% blasts. All three lineages are affected. Symptoms include marrow failure, anemia, pedichiae, bruising. Hepatosplenomegaly is rare. RBCs may appear "megaloblastoid, similar to folate or B12 deficiency. These disorders are more common in adults, usually more than 60 years of age. Often the etiology appears to DNA damage such as exposure to alkylating agents or radiation, or the presence of a DNA repair defect. These disorders may progress to AML. Treatment is supportive with transfusions or stem cell therapy. Typical features of each cell line are: RBCs: ringed sideroblasts (excess iron demonstrated by Prussian blue stain) Megakaryocytes: Pawn ball megakaryocytes, with multiple, separate nuclei.

    Extractions: Myeloproliferative disorders involve the proliferation of a somewhat differentiated myeloid line. ACML is a disorder which appears to affect a single progenitor cell which gives rise to all cell lines. Presentation : Patients present with anemia, splenomegaly, constitutional symptoms, abdominal pain, bleeding, and rarely leukestasis. After about 3-6 years, patients enter an accelerated phase which culminates in a blast crisis which is more often myeloid than lymphoid. Laboratories at Diagnosis : WBCs of more than 100,000/uL, platelets of more than 400,000/uL. PMNs, metamyelocytes are present peripherally, with a maximum of about 10% blasts. Bone marrow shows granulocyte hyperplasia, sea blue histiocytes, and sometimes megakaryocyte hyperplasia. The leukocyte alkaline phosphatase and vitamin B12 levels are low. The decreased LAP helps differentiate it from a leukamoid reaction (additionally, in a leukamoid reaction, blasts are not seen in peripheral smears and all cell lines are not elevated). Decreased LAP is also associated with paroxysmal nocturnal hematuria.

Common symptoms are anaemia, bleeding, easy bruisability, and fatigue. These Myelodysplastic syndromes can occur in all age groups but are more common in people aged over 60. Myelodysplastic syndromes may develop spontaneously or be secondary to treatment with chemotherapy / radiotherapy. There is an association with Myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukaemia.

    Extractions: Definition Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a disease that is associated with decreased production of blood cells. Blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, and the blood cells of people with MDS do not mature normally. There are three major types of blood cells -red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Patients with MDS can have decreased production of one, two, or all three types of blood cells. Description Blood cells are used in the body for many different and important functions, such as carrying oxygen (red blood cells), fighting infection (white blood cells), and controlling bleeding (platelets). Blood cells are formed and stored in the bone marrow, which is the spongy tissue inside large bones. Stem cells, or immature blood cells, are stored in the bone marrow and have the ability to develop into all three types of mature blood cells. When the body needs a specific type of blood cell, the bone marrow uses its stockpile of stem cells to produce the kind of mature cells needed for that particular situation. In patients who have MDS, blood cells fail to mature normally. In other words, the bone marrow is unable to develop a normal amount of mature blood cells, and is also not able to increase blood cell production when mature cells are needed. Sometimes, even the cells that are produced do not function normally. The marrow eventually becomes filled with the immature cells and there is not room for the normal cells to grow and develop. MDS therefore causes a shortage of functional blood cells.

Bone marrow cells called "blast" develop or mature into several different types of blood cells including red blood cells that carry oxygen and other materials to all tissues of the body; white blood cells that fight infection; and platelets that make the blood clot. If cells in the bone marrow are injured or abnormal, they may behave abnormally. In myelodysplastic syndromes, the abnormality causes the bone marrow cells or blasts to develop into defective red cells, white cells and platelets. In acute myeloid leukemia, which is the more quickly advancing form of the disease, cells stop maturing altogether. Myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia may arise without any known cause or may be due to prior treatment with drugs or radiation for other diseases. Myelodysplastic syndromes occur most often in older people, but they also occur in children and young people.

    Extractions: The American Society of Hematology Peter L. Greenberg Neal S. Young and Norbert Gattermann Abstract The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by hemopoietic insufficiency associated with cytopenias leading to serious morbidity plus the additional risk of leukemic transformation. multifactorial pathogenetic features, heterogeneous stages, cytopenias and evolutionary potential in MDS are innate stem cell lesions, cellular/cytokine-mediated stromal defects, and immunologic derangements. This article reviews the developing understanding of biologic and molecular lesions in MDS and recently available biospecific drugs that are potentially capable of abrogating these abnormalities.
