Blast cells are immature blood cells, which we all have in our bone marrow. In leukaemia the blood cells dont develop and stay immature giving high numbers of blast cells taking over the bone marrow and starving the blood of healthy cells. In a healthy bone marrow there should be less the 5% blast cells. My daughter had blast cells in her blood test which led to her having a bone marrow biopsy which told us she has Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. After recovering from her first round of chemo therapy she had no signs of the blast cells in the blood. This is a link to a leukaemia site, it may give you more information. I am unsure if blast cells in the blood are related to anything else.

Everyone has some level of blast cells in there peripheral blood. To many however is a sign of Leukemia. They will probably want to do a bone marrow biopsy to check the marrow for percentage of blasts.

Unfortunately, this is a sign of acute leukemia.
