What are the consequences of neutropenia

summary

Neutrophil is one of many kinds of cells in the human body, its role is of great significance to the human body, but its number in the human body will vary with age. Now let's talk about the consequences of neutropenia.

What are the consequences of neutropenia

First, neutropenia is a syndrome characterized by a decrease in peripheral blood neutrophil count below 1800 / cubic mm in adults and 1500 / cubic mm in children. In infants and young children, neutropenia can only be diagnosed when the neutrophil count is below 1000 / cubic mm because of the low neutrophil count in physiological state.

Second: the disease can be accompanied by leukopenia, that is, the total number of white blood cells in 4000 / cubic mm or less; or without leukopenia. When neutropenia or even complete absence of neutrophils, accompanied by a decrease in the number of white blood cells, known as agranulocytosis. At this time, the absolute number of other types of white blood cells decreased, but the number of red blood cells and platelets did not change. Heredity is an important reason.

Third: infantile hereditary granulocytopenia, for autosomal recessive inheritance, early onset, repeated infection, often died in infancy. The number of white blood cells may be normal or slightly increased, but neutrophils disappear or are rare. Myelodysplasia varies, granulocyte lines often only see a small number of promyelocytes, mature granulocytes are absent.

matters needing attention

Through these we can know that neutropenia will cause obvious damage to the human body. Neutropenia will reduce the number of white blood cells. When patients find neutropenia, they must pay attention to health problems and go to the hospital for examination.
