Title: N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (NANA) serum level in the diagnostics of preleukemic states, acute micromyeloblastic leukemias and pancytopenias. Author: Kiersnowska-Rogowska B, Chyrek-Borowska S, Bielawiec M. Journal: Folia Haematol Int Mag Klin Morphol Blutforsch; 1978; 105(1):52-7. PubMed ID: 77819. Abstract: The levels of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid were determined in patients with preleukemic states, acute micromyeloblastic leukemias and pancytopenias. A statistically significant increase of NANA was found in patients with micromyeloblastic leukemia in comparison with preleukemic states and pancytopenias. A significant rise in the NANA level was observed in preleukemic states in comparison with pancytopenia of other origins. The assay of the NANA level may be employed as a sensitive biochemical test for differential diagnostics of these diseases.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
