Overview
Peripheral blood smear and bone marrow examination helps in making the diagnosis of myelofibrosis. Various tests performed to aid in reaching the diagnosis include complete blood count, peripheral blood smear and bone marrrow examination, complete metabolic panel, and leukocyte alkaline phosphatase test.
Laboratory Findings
Complete Blood Count
- Decreased red blood cells[1][2][3]
- Reduced hemoglobin
- Decreased platelets[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
- Decreased white blood cells
Peripheral Blood Smear
- Normochromic normocytic anemia[12]
- Tear-drop shaped red blood cells (RBCs)[13]
- Erythroblastosis[14][15]
- Thrombocytopenia[7]
- Dysplastic megakaryocytes[16][17]
Complete Metabolic Panel
- Raised levels of lactate dehydrogenase
Leukocyte Alkaline Phosphatase Test (LAP Test)
