What tests are used to diagnose leukemia?

I think the most critical and primary test that we do to diagnose leukaemia is a complete blood count which may not be as specific as we want it to be in order to get to the diagnosis of leukaemia, but in some cases, it could be rather alarming and obvious. I think the most common situation in which blood tests shout the diagnosis of leukaemia to you is when a patient shows up with a white count that is over one or two hundred thousand, strong. White blood cell counts should normally be anywhere from five thousand, and eleven thousand, in most laboratory normal values. Any white blood cell count in excess of fifty to one hundred to two hundred thousand, is abnormal. It may represent a chronic leukaemia. It may represent an acute leukaemia but in either way, further diagnostic testing needs to be performed.
