Leukapheresis is performed on normal donors using Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved consent forms and protocols. Approximately two to three blood volumes are processed using the Spectra Optia® Apheresis System (unless otherwise requested) to produce a full-sized Leukopak. Acid citrate dextrose, solution A (ACDA) is the anticoagulant. Leuko - Bloodstream Janitor is a one-button arcade game where you control a leukocyte cell, which role is to clean the bloodstream from pathogens. Each pathogen has a different score value, but the higher the value, the higher the risk, as it can also decrease your mass. Let yourself get too much or too little mass and it`s game over.

Care Notes

Overview

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

What is leukocytosis?

Leukocytosis is a condition that causes you to have too many white blood cells (WBC). WBCs are part of your immune system and help fight infections and diseases.

What causes or increases my risk for leukocytosis?

Infections, inflammation, or tissue damage
Immune reactions, such as during an asthma or allergy attack
Bone marrow problems, such as leukemia or thrombocytopenia
Medicines used to treat inflammation, mental health disorders, cancer, or breathing problems
Physical or emotional stress

What are the signs and symptoms of leukocytosis?

You may not have any signs or symptoms. Symptoms are often from the cause of the leukocytosis. The following are common symptoms:

Fever
Bleeding or bruising
Feeling weak, tired, or sick
Feeling dizzy, faint, or sweaty
Pain or tingling in your arms, legs, or abdomen
Trouble breathing, thinking, or seeing
Losing weight without trying, or a poor appetite

How is leukocytosis diagnosed?

Your healthcare provider may ask about your medical history. He will also ask what medicines you take, and if you have any allergies. Blood tests will show the number and shape of your WBCs. They will show if you have too much of one type of WBC. They may also help to find the cause of your leukocytosis. You may also need a bone marrow test to find the cause of your leukocytosis.

How is leukocytosis treated?

Your WBCs may return to normal without treatment. Your healthcare provider will treat the cause of your leukocytosis. You may also need any of the following:

IV fluids may be given to give you extra fluid and electrolytes.
Medicines may be given to decrease inflammation or treat an infection. You may also be given medicine to decrease acid levels in your body or urine.
Leukapheresis is a procedure to decrease the number of WBCs. Blood is taken from your body through an IV. The WBCs are separated and removed. Your blood, without the WBCs, may be given back to you, or sent to a lab for tests.

When should I contact my healthcare provider?

You have a fever.
You bruise or bleed easily.
You have weight loss without trying or a poor appetite.
You feel nauseated.
You feel weak, tired, or sick.
You are a man and you have a painful erection that lasts longer than usual.
