Whether a bone marrow needle can confirm leukemia

Patients with leukemia before diagnosis have to do bone marrow aspiration to confirm, when patients appear leukemia related symptoms, when they come to the hospital for diagnosis, will do this examination, then is it not leukemia patients must do bone marrow aspiration to diagnose is leukemia?

Bone marrow is the main hematopoietic tissue after birth. Hematopoietic cells develop into blood cells with special functions after a series of processes of proliferation, differentiation and maturation in the bone marrow, and are finally released into the peripheral circulation. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the changes in the quantity and quality of blood cells in bone marrow for the diagnosis and prevention of hematopoietic diseases. Bone marrow specimens were obtained by bone marrow aspiration. After the bone marrow fluid is collected, it can be made into a smear for morphological examination of bone marrow cells, as well as bacterial culture, stem cell culture, chromosome examination and some oncogene detection. The anterior superior iliac spine or posterior superior iliac spine is usually used for bone marrow puncture, and the sternal or lumbar spinous process puncture can also be used in special cases.

Bone piercing is short for bone marrow aspiration. Bone marrow is the "manufacturing plant" of all kinds of blood cells, which is the largest and most important hematopoietic tissue in the human body. Leukemia is a malignant disease of the hematopoietic system characterized by abnormal proliferation of blood cells during their growth and development. Such a change would not be apparent from the patient's appearance and symptoms alone. Even the blood test can only reflect the changes of blood cells in the peripheral blood, and the changes of blood cells in the peripheral blood are easy to be confused with some other diseases, such as leukemia reactions, and can not accurately reflect the changes in the hematopoietic organs. So, to diagnose leukemia you have to do a bone piercing. In addition, by extracting bone marrow samples for examination, leukemia types can be accurately distinguished and corresponding treatment measures can be taken according to different leukemia types.

So in the diagnosis of leukemia or to do bone marrow aspiration, do this examination can be diagnosed with leukemia. Of course, no one wants to suffer from this disease or their family members. Even if there are some related symptoms, we still need to have a good check. If it is, we can treat it in advance so that we can recover as soon as possible.
