Abstract

Excessive blasts in patients with acute leukeamia may cause serious problems such as tumour lysis syndrome or luekostasis. Leukapheresis is effective in prevention and/or treatment of these problems. In this study we evaluated the results of 22 patients having hyperleukocytosis and underwent leukapheresis in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure and its influence on clinical course. While therapeutic leukapheresis was performed to 11 patients, in the remainder prophylactic leukapheresis was performed. An average of 42% leucocyte depletion was obtained in both groups. However, despite the significant leucocyte depletion, 7 of the 11 patients who underwent therapotic leukapheresis have died due to leukostasis. We suggest that prophylactic luekapheresis performed early during the diagnosis may be effective in acute leukeamia patients with hyperleukocytosis.

Özet

Akut lösemi hastalarında artmış blastlar, lökostaz yada tümör liziz sendromu gibi ciddi klinik problemlere neden olabilir. Bunların tedavisinde ve/veya önlenmesinde, lökoferez etkili ve hızlı bir tedavi seçeneğidir. Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde artmış lökosit sayıları nedeniyle lökoferez uygulanan 22 hastanın sonuçları, işlemin etkinliği ve klinik seyrine etkisi açısından değerlendirildi. Lökoferez işlemi, 11 hastaya lökostaz tablosu nedeni terapötik olarak, diğer 11 hastaya ise proflaktik amaçlı uygulandı. Her iki grupta da lökoferez ile ortalama %42'lik lökosit azalması sağlandı. Ancak etkili lökosit azalması sağlanmasına rağmen, terapötik lökoferez uygulanan hastalardan 7'si lökostaz nedeni ile öldü. Sonuçta blast sayısı artmış lösemi hastalarının tanı sırasında proflaktik lökoferezin erken dönemde yapılmasının faydalı olabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
