Nursing Leukemia In Leukemia, Childhood Pathophysiology: Lymphoid leukemia, or acute lymphocytic (acute lymphoid, lymphocytic, leukemia, ALL) is a network of cancer that produces white blood cells (leukocytes). Immature leukocytes produced in excessive amounts or abnormal, and leukocyte-leukocyte was invaded various organs.
Leukemik cells infiltrate into the bone marrow, replace the elements of a normal cell. Consequently, anemia, and red blood cells produced in insufficient quantities. Bleeding arise due to the declining number of circulating platelets. Infection also occurred more frequently due to the reduced number of normal leukocytes. Invasion leukemik cells into vital organs causing hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy. Acute non lymphoid leukemia (acute nonlymphoid leukemia, ANLL) includes several types of leukemia following: mieloblastik acute leukemia, acute monoblastik leukemia, and acute leukemia mielositik. Arise bone marrow dysfunction, which causes a decreased number of red blood cells, neutrons, and platelets. Leukemik cells infiltrate the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, bone, and central nervous system (CNS), as well as the reproductive organs. Kloroma or Kaposi granulositik found in a number of children affected.
ANLL
1. There is no age incidence peaks.
2. ANLL includes 15% to 25% of cases of leukemia in children.
3. Increased risk of developing this disease in children who have congenital chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome.
4. It's harder than ALL in terms of inducing remission (remission rate 70%). About 50% will survive.
5. Brakes contents shorter than children with ALL.
6. 50% of children who have bone marrow transplant has prolonged remission.

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
Treatment protocols vary according to type of leukemia and type of drugs given to children. The process of induction of remission in children consists of three phases: induction, consolidation and maintenance. During the induction phase (approximately 3 to 6 weeks) the child, receive a variety of chemotherapeutic agents for induction of remission. Intensive therapy was extended from 2 to 3 weeks during the consolidation phase to prevent the involvement of the central nervous system and other vital organs. Therapy to prevent CNS disease is important. Maintenance therapy is given for several years after diagnosis to prolong remission. Some drugs used for children's leukemia is prednisone, vincristine, asparaginase, methotrexate, merkaptopurin, cytarabine, allopurinol, cyclophosphamide, and daunorubicin.
Prednisone
Terutaina prednisone used because antiinflamasinya strong effect on disease involving multiple organ systems. Prednisone used to treat acute childhood leukemia. Possible side effects are:
1. Disorders of fluid and electrolytes-sodium retention, fluid retention, congestive heart failure in susceptible patients, potassium kchilangan, hypertension.
2. Musculoskeletal effects, muscle weakness, osteoporosis, pathological fractures in long bones.
3. Effects Gastrointestinal-peptic ulcer with possible bleeding, pancreatitis, abdominal distension, increased appetite, weight increase.
4. Dermatological effects-impaired wound healing, and ekimosis petekie, facial erythema, hirsutism, hypopigmentation / hyperpigmentation.
5. Neurological effects, increased intracranial pressure with papil edema, convulsions, vertigo, and headaches, irritability, feelings are changing.
6. Effects of endocrine-development of cushingoid state, further manifestation of diabetes mellitus.
7. Stock-cataract ophthalmic subkapsular posterior.
8. Metabolic effects, negative nitrogen balance due to protein catabolism
The dose is calculated individually based on the severity of the disease and the response of the child, not based on strict ratios according to age or weight. Prednisone is given orally (PO).
Vincristine (Oncovin)Vincristine are antineoplastic agents which menghainbat cell division during metaphase. These drugs are used together with cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) to treat ALL. Possible side effects are:1. -Neuromuscular effects of peripheral neuropathy, nerve pain, paresthesias in arms and legs, loss of deep tendon racks, jaw pain, Fool drop.2. Haematological effects, thrombocytopenia, anemia, leukopenia.3. Gastrointestinal effects, stomatitis, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, paralytic ileus.4. Other-convulsions, hyperkalemia, hiperurisemiaVincristine administered IV. Avoid extravasation.
AsparaginaseAsparaginase lower levels of asparagine (an amino acid needed for tumor growth). Asparaginase used to treat ALL. Possible side effects of this drug are:1. Manifestation of allergic-asparaginase is a side effect of the most severe that can be reduced by the addition merkaptopurin, cytosine arabinosid, and other immunosuppressants.a. Fever and chills within 1 minute after administrationb. Skin reactionsc. Respiratory distressd. Hypotensione. Pain Substernalf. Nausea and vomitingg. Anaphylaxis
2. Liver toxicity with jaundice, hypoalbuminemia, and sometimes depressed clotting factor.3. Pancreatitis4. Diabetes mellitus5. Calcium metabolism disordersAsparaginase dose varies depending on the individual. The drug is given by IM.
Methotrexate (Amethopterin)Methotrexate is classified as an antimetabolite. These drugs inhibit the metabolism of folic acid are essential for nucleoprotein synthesis required by cells that divide rapidly. Methotrexate is used to treat ALL.
If there is infection, methotrexate should be used with extreme caution. Therapy with other bone marrow depressants should also be avoided except when patients are in need of its use. These drugs can be administered orally (PO), intramuscular (IM), intravenous (IV), or intrathecal. Avoid vitamin containing folic acid if the child was given methotrexate. Possible side effects of methotrexate are as follows.1. Skin-rash reaction general erythema, urticaria, acne, pruritus2. Sometimes alopecia3. Ulceration of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract (GI)4. Shiver5. Fever6. Throw up7. Diarrhea8. Cystitis9. Bone marrow depression (sometimes accompanied by bleeding or septicemia)10. Liver toxicity11. Pneumonitis
Merkaptopurin (Purinetol)
Merkaptopurin function blocking nucleic acid synthesis, which is especially necessary when the cells grow and reproduce itself rapidly.
The primary effect of merkaptopurin occur in the network where there is a rapid cell growth and metabolism of nucleic frequency is also high (eg, bone marrow and stomach epithelium). A decline in the production of leukocytes, platelets, and reticulocyte. These drugs are used in the treatment of ALL. Possible side effects are as follows:
1. Anorexia
2. Nausea and vomiting
3. Diarrhea (sometimes accompanied by blood) because of injury to the GI epithelium.
4. Degenerative changes are accompanied by jaundice due to liver merkaptopurin giving high doses.
5. Bone marrow depression
Merkaptopurin only given orally (PO).
Cytarabine is currently used to induce remission in patients with acute leukemia granulositik. Cytarabine is a bone marrow suppressant strong. Patients receiving this drug should be watched closely and, during induction therapy, should be examined leukocyte count and platelet count are common.
Modified or delayed treatment when these drug-induced depression tclah menycbabkan platelet count less than 50.000/mm3 or hitting less than 1.000/mm3 polymorphonuclear granulocytes. Possible side effects are as follows.
1. Nausea and vomiting
2. Leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, bone marrow suppression
3. Anemia
4. Rash
5. Anorexia
6. Bleeding (all tempt)
7. Diarrhea
8. Inflammation or ulceration of the mouth
9. Megaloblastosis
10. Liver dysfunction
11. Anafi laksis
12. Headache
Cytarabine is not active when given orally. Cytarabine can be administered by IV infusion or injection. Cytarabine should be stored in the refrigerator until used.
Allopurinol (Zyloprim)Allopurinol inhibits uric acid production by inhibiting scgera biochemical reactions that precede the formation of uric acid. The result is a decrease in uric acid levels in blood and urine. Allopurinol given as prophylaxis to prevent the deposit of uric tissue or kidney stones in patients with leukemia who are undergoing chemotherapy causes increased serum uric acid. Allopurinol also inhibits the oxidation merkaptopurin merkaptopurin must therefore use in smaller doses (one-quarter to one third of usual dose). Possible side effects of allopurinol are:1. Sometimes liver toxicity2. Pen ingkatan serum glutamic-oxaloacelic Iransaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) are asymptomatic.Allopurinol given orally. Increase hydration until at least two times the amount of maintenance. See treatment protocol dose determination.
Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan)Cyclophosphamide is a powerful antitumor agents of the nitrogen mustard group and chelating agents. Mechanism of action of cyclophosphamide is certainly not yet known. Unlike the other mustard compounds, cyclophosphamide is not active when direct contact with bacteria, leukocytes, and most tumor cells in culture. Cyclophosphamide is used in the treatment of ALL and acute leukemia monositik. Possible side effects of the drug in i is:1. Nausea and vomiting
2. Anorexia
3. Alopecia (occurring in at least 50% of patients)
4. Leukopenia (decreased white blood cell count)a. Expected Effectb. Usually a guideline therapyc. Cause the child susceptible to bacterial infections
5. Hemorrhage sterile cystitis (bladder mucosa may be injured because of certain active mustard derivatives excreted in urine)
6. Liver dysfunction
7. KardiotoksisitasSiklofosfam id given through IV drip infusion quick, oral, or IM.
Daunorubicin (Daunomycin)Daunorubicin bound to DNA. Daunorubicin is used to inhibit cell division during the treatment of acute leukemia. Possible side effects of this drug are as follows:1. Venous sclerosis (use two needle technique: mixed drugs with a needle and dispose of the needle; did the injection with a new needle)2. Nausea and vomiting (immediately after injection)3. Bone marrow depression4. Cardiac dysrhythmia and death (rare; occur at total doses greater than 650 mg/m2)5. Increased liver enzymes (ALT, AST)6. Change the color to red urineDaunorubicin given by IV injection. See treatment protocol.
