How Granulocytosis Is Treated?
Granulocytosis is a manifestation of other conditions. It’s not seen as a separate disease, and it usually isn’t treated directly. In most cases, treatment addresses the underlying condition causing granulocytosis. Treating any underlying conditions should also decrease the number of granulocytes in your blood.
Your treatment will depend on the disease responsible for your granulocytosis. If your condition is related to cancer, your treatment may include the following:
Bone marrow transplant
During a bone marrow transplant, your bone marrow will be removed and replaced with healthy stem cells. These stem cells may be taken from your body or from a donor’s body.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is an aggressive form of chemical drug therapy used to destroy cancerous cells in the body.
Radiation therapy
This treatment involves using a high-energy radiation to reduce tumors and kill cancerous cells.
Splenectomy
An enlarged spleen is a common complication of CML. Surgery is done to remove the spleen, to prevent further complications. Some conditions respond well to drugs, and other conditions can be treated with blood transfusions. Your doctor will determine the best treatment plan for you.
