Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The Rai staging system is one of the two staging systems currently adopted in assesmentassessment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).
It comprises of stages 0 to IV and classifies chronic lymphocytic leukemia into low, intermediate and high-risk categories, which correspond with stages 0, I & II, and III & IV, respectively:
-
Rai stage 0:
:- low risk
-
lymphocytosis: a high lymphocyte count defined as more than 15,000 lymphocytes per cubic millimeter (> 15,000
/ mm/mm3).
-
Rai stage I:
:- intermediate risk
- lymphocytosis + lymphadenopathy.
-
Rai stage II:
:- patients are also intermediate risk
- lymphocytosis plus an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) or enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), with or without lymphadenopathy
.
-
Rai stage III:
:- patients are high-risk
- lymphocytosis plus anaemia with or without lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly
.
-
Rai stage IV:
:- high-risk
- lymphocytosis + thrombocytopenia (< 100
- 103-103 /dL).
