Diseases of leukocytes

Abstract

Leukociti ili bijele krvne stanice su sve stanice periferne krvi s jezgrom čija je glavna uloga obrana organizma od mikroorganizama u kombinaciji sa sposobnošću razlikovanja stranih stanica od vlastitih. Odjeljak leukocita dijeli se na dvije osnovne skupine: fagocite (granulocite, monocite), te stanice imunološkog sustava: limfocite B i T i prirodne ubilačke stanice (NK, engl. natural killer). Cilj ovog rada je pregled kroz najvažnije bolesti leukocita, uzroke, posljedice te mogućnosti liječenja. Bolesti leukocita su izrazito složene bolesti upravo zbog njihove važne funkcije u tijelu. Postoji još jako puno nepoznanica oko uzroka nastanka mnogih bolesti što usporava liječenje i čini ove bolesti jednima od najteže izlječivih.Leukocytes or white blood cells are peripheral blood cells with core whose main role is defense of the organizm against microorganizms in combination with the ability to distinguish foreign cells from their own. Leukocytes can be divided into two basic groups: phagocytes (granulocytes, monocytes) and immune cells: B and T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. The objective of this thesis is to review the most importatnt disease of leukocytes, causes, consequences and treatment options. Diseases of white blood cells are extremely complex disease because of their important function across the body. There is a lot of unknowns about the cause of establishment od many diseases which slows healing and makes this disease one of the hardest curable
