Introduction

In this episode, we cover that rapidly progressive, easy to miss, relatively better survived leukemia: acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Come read about pathophysiology, and then listen to the summary that covers when to suspect clinical APL, the use of ATRA, and that scary hyperfibrinolysis (DIC but worse). Just to leave you with more, we cover Differentiation syndrome (aka retinoic acid syndrome).
