AB Changes  in  different  types  of  blood  cells  occur  in  many  diseases  (Chapters  24:  Blood:  I.  Structure  &  Function;  Anemias  Due  to  Decreased  Erythropoiesis,  26:  Blood:  III.  The  White  Blood  Cells).  For  instance,  changes  in  leukocyte  count  provide  useful  information  in  infectious  diseases  (Chapter  13:  Infectious  Diseases:  I.  Mechanisms  of  Tissue  Changes  in  Infection).  Anemia  is  an  extremely  common  clinical  problem  that  has  many  causes  (Chapters  24:  Blood:  I.  Structure  &  Function;  Anemias  Due  to  Decreased  Erythropoiesis,  25:  Blood:  II.  Hemolytic  Anemias;  Polycythemia).  Neoplasms  of  the  hematopoietic  system  include  myeloproliferative  disorders  (Chapters  25:  Blood:  II.  Hemolytic  Anemias;  Polycythemia,  26:  Blood:  III.  The  White  Blood  Cells),  leukemias  (Chapter  26:  Blood:  III.  The  White  Blood  Cells),  malignant  lymphomas  (Chapter  29:  The  Lymphoid  System:  II.  Malignant  Lymphomas),  and  plasma  cell  myeloma  (Chapter  30:  The  Lymphoid  System:  III.  Plasma  Cell  Neoplasms;  Spleen  &  Thymus).  Leukemias  and  lymphomas  represent  the  most  common  malignant  neoplasms  in  persons  under  age  30  years.  Successful  treatment  of  these  hematopoietic  neoplasms  has  made  their  early  and  accurate  diagnosis  very  important.  Students  may  find  it  worthwhile  to  review  the  discussion  of  normal  hemostasis  in  Chapter  9:  Abnormalities  of  Blood  Supply  before  undertaking  a  study  of  bleeding  disorders  (Chapter  27:  Blood:  IV.  Bleeding  Disorders).
