Hyperleukocytic Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
Hyperleukocytosis in patients with acute leukemia impacts rheology and microvascularization, leading to severe symptoms or even death. The investigators investigated whether blood stream alterations induced by hyperleukocytosis can be detected by sidestream dark-field imaging and whether they correlate with the grade of symptoms.
