Angst vor Leukämie?
Hatte letztens eine Urinuntersuchung und die Ärtzin meinte es wurden Leukozyten gefunden aber sonst wurde nichts gesagt. Sie hat mich dann gefragt wann meine Periode zuende gegangen ist, doch ist das Periodenblut nicht Erethrozyten? Warum meinte sie dann Leukozyten zu mir? Ps: Infektion hab ich nicht und sonstige Symptome von Leukämie auch nicht (hab sogar vor 1 Monat 2 mal mein Blut testen lassen und alles war unauffällig)
The leukocytes tested in a urine test strip are predominantly a certain type associated with bacterial infects.
The leukos which occur in leukemias are immature and would not necessarily occur in such a test. Because they don’t carry the enzyme in themselves, which is tested. In any case, until you have such a violent case that your kidney has broken through the extremely large ‘blasts’ of leukemia, you have long since had symptoms that would have taken you to the hospital.
However, leukos can also be falsified by cells from your skin surface (which are quite safe in it), and yes, also by period blood. This contains both erythrocytes and leukocytes.
The main components of the blood are plasma (the blood fluid), erythhrocytes (red blood cells, important for oxygen/carbon dioxide transport), thrombocytes (blood platelets, important for blood coagulation) and leukocytes (white blood cells, part of the immune system).
Leukemia (=“white blood”) is present, for example, when the number of leukocytes is increased in a pathological manner and this too much of leukocytes also consists of unripe cells. As a result, the erythrocytes are displaced from the blood stream, the affected persons feel anemic.
However, an increased leukocyte number can also indicate an inflammatory process, since leukocytes are part of the immune system.
But did you actually tell your doctor that you came to the blood test so shortly after the end of your menstruation? This information can be very important! So I would advise you to just ask your doctor these questions. She knows better than we do.
It’s about leukocytes in urine.
Then it is a sign of inflammation
She asked me extra if I had my period recently
OK, then there seems to be an inflammatory process somewhere in your body
Thank you very much!
Nix Ohje! Don’t panic! As said: Cancer is not with you! Just trust your doctor!
Yes, thank you, I’m okay if it were an acute one, it would go very fast or, within days?
Oh!
I don’t think it’s better that your doctor would have gone up completely different guns. I know the story of my “blood sister” (you have donated stem cells a few years ago), which was a little more dramatic!
P.S.: Infections and inflammatory processes are not the same!
This depends on the number of leukocytes in urine and the amount of drinking.
Because she didn’t mean infection or something, can it be stress? Have long-lasting stress for 2-3 months
Omg is afraid that it is cancer
With the slightest suspicion of leukemia, your doctor would have arranged a large blood count. A large blood count consists of a small blood count with values > haemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, haematocrit and differential blood count. In a differential blood image, the subtypes of the leukocytes are analyzed. If this so-called bladder is present, this indicates leukemia. A bone marrow examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
The normal number of leukocytes in urine is about 5 leukos/per microliter, i.e. up to a certain number of leukocytes in urine are not normally ill.
Do you drink too little?
We’re getting closer to this. You’re suffering from hypochondria. Fear of > Myocardine infarction, thrombosis, aneurysm, glioblastoma, embolie, kidney insufficiency etc.
Are you in psychotherapeutic treatment?
Generally, but last month did two blood samples and nothing noticeable that speaks for itself?
With differential blood?
What I started drinking because of fear of kidney failure
You don’t get a kidney failure so fast. It’s good that you increased your drinking. Are you afraid of diseases?
I wish you all the best!
Hypochondria is a disease. Are you in psychotherapeutic treatment?
Oh yes Hypochondrie long haha
Thank you.
It’s okay! Don’t worry.
1 month ago little and big blood was made
leukocytes tend to indicate an infection, e.g. bladder inflammation
No infection found
Apparently, one is there if you have leukocytes in the urine.
Up to a certain number, leukocytes are normal in urine.
Right! Please see my answer.
Yeah idk just surprised me I don’t know if that’s what says or not
Oh, it sounded so because you wrote it extra, leukocytes were found.
But have read healthy people also have little, and with me nothing was said of raising
