INTRODUCTION
• Referrals from Primary Care Physicians make up a large percentage of the referrals to NCIS Haematology Division Please let patients know that they will be
coming to a ‘Cancer Centre’ at the Medical Centre Level 10, NUH
• Usually haematological conditions are
picked up in 2 ways: Incidentally – Patient are asymptomatic In a symptomatic patient
![Page 5: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
GENERAL APPROACH TO CYTOPAENIAS
• Consider the circumstance that the cytopaenias were detected Was the FBC taken during an acute illness?
• History taking paramount Was there a previous FBC in the past and what was the
trend of the counts?
• Physical examination Any abnormal signs which may give a clue to the underlying
cause ? Any physical signs as a result of the cytopaenia?
• Initial laboratory tests • Specific laboratory tests
![Page 6: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THROMBOCYTOSIS
![Page 7: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Where do you start?
• Review patients medical history Any recent surgery/ trauma/ infection?
Duration of thrombocytosis
Degree of thrombocytosis is a poor discriminator between
reactive thrombocytosis vs primary thrombocytosis ( reactive
causes can lead to a platelet count of >1000 X 109/L at times)
• Physical examination Any thrombo-haemorrhagic signs/ symptoms?
Any hepatosplenomegaly which may suggest a malignant
cause?
• Initial laboratory testing FBC, peripheral blood film, serum ferritin (to exclude iron deficiency
anaemia), CRP/ ESR (to exclude inflammatory cause)
![Page 8: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When to refer to Haematology?
• When the platelet count is persistently >
450 X 109/L
• Abnormal peripheral blood film findings Presence of blasts
Leukoerythroblastic picture
Abnormal platelet morphology – hypogranular forms,
anisocytosis
• Abnormal physical findings such as
hepatosplenomegaly
• No evidence of iron deficiency
• Reactive causes have been excluded

• Others?
![Page 15: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Further progress

secondary to surgery/ infection
• Follow up: Regular monitoring with FBC
trend, required 2 months before platelet
counts normalised

Case study 2 • 55 year old Chinese lady with a past medical history of a
benign thyroid nodule and stress related headaches • Referred by polyclinic for persistent thrombocytosis • Initial FBC done during her annual health check showed a
platelet count of 602 X 109/L • A repeat FBC was done during her neurology outpatient
visit which showed a platelet count of 544 X 109/L • In February 2017, she had another FBC done at a private
clinic which showed a platelet count of 569 X 109/L ( TWC and Hb normal)

Thrombocythaemia
• Treatment: Aspirin, no cytoreduction
required as she is considered intermediate
risk

THROMBOCYTOPAENIAS
![Page 20: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Where do you start?
• Review patients medical history Any recent illness/ new drug used? Duration of thrombocytopaenia Degree of thrombocytopaenia is crucial Drug history – including changes in dosage/ new drugs started
• Physical examination Any bleeding manifestations? Any hepatosplenomegaly which may suggest a malignant
cause?
• Initial laboratory testing FBC Peripheral blood film – exclude a spurious cause of
thrombocytopaenia due to EDTA induced platelet clumping, exclude presence of any abnormal white cells, look for presence of schistocytes to exclude thrombotic thrombocytopaenia purpura (TTP) which is a medical emergency
Other tests based on differential diagnoses – LFT, viral serologies, autoimmune screen, etc
![Page 21: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When should you refer to Haematology?
• Patients develops bleeding symptoms ( regardless of absolute platelet counts)
• Platelet count is downward trending ( with or without symptoms)
• Patient develops other cytopaenias (leukopaenia, neutropaenia, anaemia)
• Patient develops symptoms which may be linked to an associated condition
E.g TTP – fever, fluctuating neurological deficits, renal impairment, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopaenia
• Unexplained thrombocytopaenia despite investigations

Further progress
• Diagnosis: TTP
• Started on plasma exchange
![Page 34: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is TTP?
• TTP is thrombotic thrombocytopenic
purpura
• Serious and potentially fatal disease
• Without treatment, 90% mortality
• With plasma exchange, survival is 80%
• Early deaths can occur: approximately half
of deaths occur within the first 24 hours
• Rare disease; 6 per million per year
![Page 35: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How is TTP diagnosed?
• Classic clinical pentad of : • Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA)
• Thrombocytopaenia,
• Fever,
• Renal failure,
• Neurological signs (fluctuating)
• Most cases do not have the full pentad
• Renal failure and fever may not be prominent
• MAHA and thrombocytopenia alone without
any other cause is sufficient for the diagnosis
![Page 36: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What is MAHA?
• MAHA = microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
• Diagnosis on the blood film
• Red cell fragments, schistocytes
• With evidence of hemolysis: • Reticulocytosis,
• Unconjugated bilirubinemia,
• Elevated lactate dehydrogenase
![Page 37: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLATELETS professionals/GP...• Unconjugated bilirubinemia, • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase 20,000bleeding, retinal hemorrhage 20,000 15,000 30,000 35,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041506/5e2516decca0b219474acaf7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
