what is the complete blood count,platelet count and serum chemistry of a patient with hodgkin's disease?

It varies.  I think it depends on how progressed the cancer is and what part of the body it is affecting.  I've been in remission for 6 years, but from what I can remember my sed rate was extremely high, my liver counts and platelets were high, and I was extremely anemic.  I think my white blood cells were high also.

I'm sure you're aware that a leukemoid reaction, which is simply a physiological response secondary to stress/infection is not the same as leukemia, which is a primary blood malignancy. If you do a leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) stain, you'll find that the former is usually associated with a high LAP score, whereas the latter is low.\n\nIn a clinical setting, you could also be able to come to a diagnosis based on the context (e.g., if the patient has hemorrhage, infection, is on steroids, etc., it is likely that it is a leukemoid reaction).

The only way to know is if she takes a test - either an antibody test or a blood test. There's no other way for you to make a diagnosis, just like you couldn't diagnose if she had cancer.\n\nOnce she does take this test, there are tons of sites with information about AIDS. But I suggest that you first get her to take the test.\n\nGood luck

The red blood cell (RBC) count determines the total number of red cells (erythrocytes) in a sample of blood. Examination of the erythrocytes provides the doctor/physician with information concerning anemia-related problems and the bone marrow response (which is where RBC's are produced). \nAnemia is basically deficiency of blood in common language.\n\nWhite blood cells (WBC's) are part of the body's defense or immune system.The WBC count provides clues about certain illnesses, and helps physicians monitor a patient's recovery from others.\nBasically WBC count says all about our immunity.The elevation or decrease in WBC decides our disease-eg leukemia.For a layman, yes WBC says about immunity.\nYou want me to give more details??

platelets are just fragments of the large bone marrow cells known as megakaryocytes... \n\nand the red blood cells, or erythrocytes, have no nucleus... \n\nso he should obtain any of the white blood cells, or leukocytes, such as neutrophils granulocytes, eosinophil granulocytes, basophil granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes or macrophages... because it is a complete cell with an intact nucleus, where the dna is located...

White blood cell count (WBC). The number of white blood cells in a volume of blood. Normal range varies slightly between 4,300 and 10,800 cells per cubic millimeter (cmm). This can also be referred to as the leukocyte count and can be expressed in international units as 4.3 - 10.8 x 109 cells per liter. Leukopenia is present when the count falls less than 1000/mm3, the risk of infection increases drastically. LEUKOPENIA IS NEVER NORMAL, can be caused by radiation, anaphylactic shock, systemic lupus erythematosus, and certain chemotherapeutic agents.

Plasma is a part of your blood. Blood consists of red cells, plasma & platelets. The plasma is comparable to gravy. Lymph is a system in your body that is part of your immune system. Physical movement causes the bones/muscles to move which then exerts influence on the lymph system, making it flush. It helps remove toxins from the body.

HCT = hematocrit, % of packed red blood cells in total blood volume.  Normal range for a male is 43-49%.  For women it is 37-43%.\nAnemia results from an overall decrease in RBC's, HGB, & HCT.  Symptoms are fatigue, headache, dizziness, pallor, palpitations, lack of appetite.  \nSevere anemia would include a HGB of <7-8.  Your values are much better.\nYour doctor will suggest the proper treatment.  Increase your iron intake.  HGB needs iron in order to provide oxygen to your body's cells.  Without this, you exhibit the above symptoms.

Low levels could indicate anemia.\nhttp://www.lymphomation.org/CBC-blood-counts.htm\n\nHCT - Hematocrit  (he-MAH-to-crit)\nRef.

Range 13.2 - 16.9\nHemoglobin is a protein used by red blood cells to distribute oxygen to other tissues and cells in the body.  Low levels indicate anemia.\n\nRBC - Red blood cells (erythrocytes - eh-REETH-ro-site)\nRef.  Range 4.20 - 5.70\nCells that deliver oxygen throughout the body and make blood look red. A low RBC can indicate anemia, which can lead to fatigue.\n\nRDW - Red Cell Distribution Width\nRef.  Range 11.0 - 15.0\nMeasures the range of sizes of red blood cells in a blood sample. RDW results are often used together with MCV results to determine possible cause of anemia when anemia is indicated by other test results.\n\nMPV - Mean Platelet Volume\nRef.

Thrombocytopenia is the medical term for "Low Platelet Levels" in the blood.  Platelets, as you might know, are the smallest membrane-bound components of the blood made in the bone marrow by cells called megakaryocytes and are released into the bloodstream.  Their major function is induction of "Hemostasis" which means control of bleeding.  When a blood vessel's integrity is compromised and bleeding ensues, certain chemicals are released from the injured vessel's cells that activate and stimulate the platelets to aggregate and form a "platelet plug." This will help stop bleeding and form a platform on top of which coagulation factors give rise to fibrin and further ensure hemostasis.\n\nSo the bottom line and summary is that platelets are involved in control of bleeding.  In certain medical conditions, the number of platelets in the blood decreases below a normal range; we call this thrombocytopenia. In this case, the patient falls under high risk of severe bleeding if injured. Therefore, as part of the nursing care for thrombocytopenic patients, one must ensure that the patient is not at high risk for falls or other types of injury that may place them at risk for excessive bleeding. Certain concommittant medical conditions such as hyperglycemia in diabetes, uremia in renal failure, immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), DIC, sepsis, and patients taking blood thinners such as aspirin or clopidogrel (plavix) one must be particularly aware of the platelet status, because all of these conditions cause malfuntioning of the existing platelets and may lead to severe, even spontaneous bleeding through mucosal surfaces, intravenous lines, etc.\n\nNormal platelet rage in the blood is 150,000 to 350,000 per mL of blood.  Thrombocytopenia to as low as 50,000 may be tolerable, but lower levels are associated with higer risk of bleeding and the patient might require platelet transfusions.\n\n\nF.

I agree with the above, I love Web MD too.  My question to you is, why not ask her doctor?  You should be able to ask questions that will help you understand what her blood results mean.  I bet that her WBC (white blood cell) count was up.  This just means that her body is producing antibodies to help fight the infection of Lyme disease.  If they have not already, they will prob. prescribe her an antibiotic to take. Don't worry Lyme disease has become more commen and as long as she gets an antibiotic in the beginning, she prob. will not suffer any ill effects.

red blood cells are circular cells that transport oxygen throughout the body. white blood cells are part of the immune system and fight infection and foriegn objects that enter the body. plasma is the liquid part of blood, and platelets are the part of the blood that cause clotting.

If you mean blood plasma, then water, blood proteins, inorganic electrolytes, glucose, fibrin (clotting factor).
