Background
- aka Acute myelogenous leukemia or non-lymphocytic leukemia

- weakness, easy fatigability, infections, gingival bleeding/enlargement, ecchymoses, epistaxis, menorrhagia
Differential Diagnosis
Acute Leukemia/Lymphoma
Diagnosis
- CXR
- CBC with peripheral smear
- Chem7, ca, mg, phos, Uric Acid, UA, LDH (to check for Tumor Lysis)
- LFTs, Coags, FDP, D-Dimer, Haptoglobin, Fibrinogen (to check for DIC)
- Get extra purple top for flow cytometry, especially before transfusion
Treatment
- Aggressive IV hydration
- If febrile, complete cultures and broad spectrum antibiotics
- Manage Complications
