Immunoproliferative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by the abnormal proliferation of the primary cells of the immune system, typically B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, or natural killer cells. These disorders can lead to a variety of clinical manifestations, including lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, autoimmune diseases, and increased susceptibility to infections.
Types of Immunoproliferative Disorders[edit]
Immunoproliferative disorders can be broadly classified into two categories: B cell disorders and T cell disorders.
B Cell Disorders[edit]
B cell disorders are characterized by the abnormal proliferation of B lymphocytes, leading to an overproduction of antibodies. This can result in a variety of clinical manifestations, including hyperviscosity syndrome, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and rheumatoid arthritis.
T Cell Disorders[edit]
T cell disorders are characterized by the abnormal proliferation of T lymphocytes, leading to an overproduction of cytokines. This can result in a variety of clinical manifestations, including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, lymphoma, and leukemia.
Diagnosis[edit]
The diagnosis of immunoproliferative disorders typically involves a combination of clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory testing. Laboratory tests may include complete blood count, immunoglobulin levels, and flow cytometry.
Treatment[edit]
The treatment of immunoproliferative disorders depends on the specific type of disorder and the severity of symptoms. Treatment options may include immunosuppressive therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation.
