Aplastic anemia (Consumption)

Aplastic anemia is a result of decreased bone marrow function or the occurrence of a disorder caused by anemia, referred to as "AA." According Jihuan onset and severity of illness, can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute form is characterized by early anemia is not obvious, often bleeding, infection, high fever as the first symptom, but the rapid progression, severe anemia rapidly soon: bleeding severe and extensive, not only the skin, mucous membrane and retinal hemorrhage, and often accompanied by visceral hemorrhage; infection common in the mouth, pharynx, skin and around the anus, and by pneumonia, sepsis and other causes of high fever; course through the dangerous, often in the short term in patients with internal infection or internal bleeding and death. Slow onset of chronic type, in addition to a chronic progressive anemia, but often accompanied by skin and mucous membrane bleeding, often accompanied by severe infection and fever.

Part of aplastic anemia of unknown etiology. Some may be poison or medicine, x ray, radioactive materials or radioactive nuclides, a serious infection, tumor or leukemia, bone marrow, causing bone marrow function or damage caused by being affected.

The disease diagnosis is primarily based on a wide range of serious bleeding, infection, high fever and a history of varying degrees of anemia. Laboratory tests pancytopenia, increased the percentage of lymphocytes, hemoglobin was positively fine Chi is anemia. Most of the bone marrow biopsy showed reduced proliferation of bone marrow, red blood cells and myeloid cells in various stages of the system decrease, reduction or disappearance of giant cells, lymphocytes and the relative increase in non-hematopoietic components, platelet sparse.

Modern medical treatment of this disease and early removal of pathogens and drug therapy. Severely ill patient may be given blood transfusion or for bone marrow transplantation. Necessary for splenectomy.

Chinese medicine called "Xueku", "Consumption", the body's blood from the spleen and kidney of water in the subtle essence. Biochemical deficiency right, then the essence is not sufficient; loss of kidney essence, the blood is not sufficient. Spleen and two losses, complex sense of Evils (including the toxin, radioactive substances, drugs, etc.), following the impact of the heart, liver, blood, essence and further deficiency, blood, weakness, lead blood stasis. When the spleen and kidney treatment, detoxification, blood circulation.

[Cuban side effects] pure Chinese medicine treatment of 5623 cases of aplastic anemia, 5611 cases were cured, 11 cases improved, and 1 case.

Leukopenia (agranulocytosis)

Leukopenia refers to the peripheral blood white blood cell count persistently lower than 4,000 / cubic mm. Normal white blood cell count is 4000-10000 / cubic millimeter, which accounted for 60.75% of neutrophils. More than the slow onset of leukopenia, chronic, a few may be asymptomatic. Leukopenia patients may have dizziness, fatigue, headache, weakness, loss of appetite, fever, insomnia, etc.; may have vulnerable tendencies, such as susceptibility to boil carbuncle, pneumonia, urinary tract infections and even septicemia.

Cause more leukopenia, due to various radioactive substances, anticancer drugs, anti-thyroid drugs, sulfa drugs, chlorine (combined) may be caused by adriamycin and other generation of granulocytes, mature barriers; granulocytes in the blood or tissues too much damage; particle distribution of abnormal cells, many patients with unknown etiology.

Leukopenia was based primarily on clinical diagnosis may be asymptomatic or only dizziness, fatigue, physical decline, vulnerability tendency to hold the peripheral blood leukocyte count <4,000 / cu mm, mainly neutropenia. Normal red blood cell and platelet counts, bone marrow often no obvious change.

Modern medicine is for treatment of leukopenia treatment of the primary causes of disease, exposure to harmful drugs and stop the rays, the aggressive use of antibiotics to prevent infection or control of infection, white blood cells rise of drug taking. Chronic neutropenia, the long-term follow-up, blood stability may not have medication.

Leukopenia medicine is a "Consumption", "blood deficiency" "blood virtual" category. Hash of the evil, the gas will empty. Responsible for its pathogenesis, then with the heart, liver, spleen, kidney related, but especially in the spleen, kidney most closely. Spleen is to transport and loss of power, blood biochemistry passive; kidney essence is enough bad blood fine is insufficient. So on leukopenia, and more to the spleen, kidney weak argument, through the spleen, kidney and the purpose of Qi and blood.
