Basophilia

Basophilia (basophilic leukocytosis) is an increase in the content of basophils more than 150 in 1 μl of blood or more than 1% of the total number of leukocytes. It often accompanies eosinophilia, since basophils and eosinophils are jointly involved in many pathological reactions. The causes of basophilia are allergic, inflammatory, oncohematological diseases. There are no specific manifestations, the clinical picture is determined by the underlying pathology. Measurement of the level of basophils is carried out in the general blood test. To eliminate basophilia, it is necessary to treat the disease against which it arose.

Hyperkalemia is an increase in the level of potassium in the blood serum above 5.5 mmol / l or mEq / l. The reason is an increased intake of potassium in the body, its release from cells or a slowdown in excretion. The main clinical symptoms include general muscle weakness, severe cardiac arrhythmias. Diagnosis is made by measuring the concentration of potassium in the blood. As measures of treatment, potassium intake is maximally limited, some drugs are canceled, calcium, glucose, and insulin preparations are used. In severe hyperkalemia, hemodialysis is performed.
