متن کاملPlasma thrombopoietin compared with immunoglobulin heavy-chain mutation status as a predictor of survival in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
We investigated the association of plasma thrombopoietin (TPO) and overall survival in 127 patients with previously treated and previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Higher levels of TPO were associated with advanced Rai stage (P < .001), higher levels of beta(2)-microglobulin (beta2-M) (P < .001), and the absence of mutation in the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region ...
متن کاملSmall intestinal bacterial overgrowth in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
As part of a study to assess the possible contribution of lymphoid infiltration of the gastrointestinal mucosa to occult blood loss or malabsorption 20 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) had a lactulose hydrogen breath test. In 10 cases (50%) a small intestinal peak was detected, suggesting small bowel bacterial overgrowth, and this was confirmed in seven patients by the positive...
متن کاملMutated or non-mutated? Which database to choose when determining the IgVH hypermutation status in chronic lymphocytic leukemia?
It has been accepted that the hypermutation status of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes (IgVH) is one of the most important independent prognostic factors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). According to the degree ofIgVH hypermutaion, CLL patients can be stratified into prognostic groups. Given the impact ofIgVH mutation status on clinical setting, it has become highly desirable to standardi...
متن کاملChronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is the commonest of the leukaemias and occurs most often in the elderly. The identification of presenting features that correlate adversely or favourably with survival has allowed the rational development of new treatment strategies.
