Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia include leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.

Laboratory findings associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia include:

 Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia include [[leukocytosis]], [[thrombocytopenia]], and [[anemia]].
 ==Laboratory Findings==
-CML is often suspected on the basis on the [[complete blood count]], which shows increased [[granulocyte]]s of all types, typically including immature myeloid cells. [[Basophil]]s and [[eosinophil]]s are almost universally increased; this feature may help differentiate CML from a [[leukemoid reaction]].

After a small area of skin is numbed, a Jamshidi needle (a long, hollow needle) is inserted into the patient’s hip bone. Samples of blood, bone, and bone marrow are removed for examination under a microscope. [http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/CML/patient/ Source]]]
