Leukocytosis (leukocyte reaction) is an increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood, which can be caused by various factors, such as infection, inflammation, allergies, etc. However, sometimes white blood cells can be destroyed, which leads to a decrease in their number in the blood. This process is called leukocytodieresis (from the Greek “diairesis”, separation).
White blood cells are part of the body's immune system and perform various functions, such as protecting against infections, killing bacteria and viruses, and regulating inflammation levels. During the process of leukocytodieresis, leukocytes are destroyed, which can lead to decreased immunity and an increased risk of developing infections.
The causes of leukocytodiresis can be different, for example, during chemotherapy, taking certain medications or autoimmune diseases. Also, leukocytodiresis can be caused by physical factors such as exposure, radiation and heat.
Symptoms of leukocytodiresis depend on the cause and may include fever, fatigue, weakness, decreased appetite, headaches, etc. It is important to see a doctor if these symptoms appear to determine the cause and begin treatment.
Treatment for leukocytodiresis depends on the cause and may include medications, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, and other methods. For example, an autoimmune disease may require immunosuppressive medications.
Overall, leukocytodiresis is a serious condition that can lead to serious health consequences. Therefore, if you notice symptoms of leukocytodisease, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Leukocyte Dispersal Separator
Leukocytoderesis (leukodissection), known as leukinorechenomadesis. LDS is carried out using sharp silt spraying pulsating air streams. Air pulsation occurs using a jet of compressed gas during the procedure. This results in the separation of the cortical and fascicular layers of the entire dolicytic population. At this point in time, separation of leukocytes is not recommended using aspiration methods due to the lack of complete visualization of the leukocyte population.
A significant indicator of the degree of separation of leukodissection are the leukocytic parameters, reflecting the ratio of leukocyte subpopulations in the bloodstream to platelets. For example, normally in a healthy person the ratio of the subpopulation composition is 0.39 for neutrophil leukocytes, 0.12 for platelets and 0.4 for lymphocytes; the structure of the cellular composition of the blood is morphologically normocytic due to changes in viscosity - a decrease in physicochemical properties due to the breakdown of the protein molecule hemoglobin into hemoglobin and free hemoglobin. Some of the factors that affect blood viscosity include temperature changes
