Level leukemia

Level leukemia's disease overview

What is

granulocyte ? Acute leukemia (or blood cancer) is a disease due to cancer blood cells in the process of producing cells, these cancer cells multiply very quickly and otherwise Treatment will stagnate in the bone marrow and hinder the process of creating normal blood cells next

acruleny cannot be cured, but thanks to the advancement of the treatment methods, the treatment results have been significantly improved

Acute leukemia is not a single pathology but includes many diseases including two main types:

Wholesale blood cells (AML): Due to the cancer cellular cells such as granulocytes, red blood cells, platelets without lymphoma

lymphocytes (All): Because lymphoma is damaged by cancer. Children's leukemia is more common in this line than theelectomy.

Causes of Level leukemia's disease

Most cases of acute leukemia have not been able to determine the clear cause. However, the disease may be formed when genes in blood cells are damaged by agents such as radiation that causes cell damage.

Symptoms of Level leukemia's disease

Symptoms that manifest when acute leukemia is usually because the body produces not enough normal blood cells in the marrow. Besides, cancer cells spread throughout the body also causing symptoms of the disease

Symptomatic groups of acute leukemia:

Symptoms of infections: With the condition of the disease that reduces the number of white blood cells in the peripheral blood, are cells that protect the body against pathogens. From the outside, when the number of white blood cells decreases, the inevitable consequence is that patients are susceptible to infections

Symptoms of anemia: This group of symptoms is characterized by reducing the number of red blood cells, cells with oxygen transport function provided to the body, which causes symptoms like : Breathing fast or short breath when exercising, dizziness, fatigue or pale

Risk of bleeding: The symptom group is typical for plateletal decline, cells with hemostasis function, so when decreased can cause symptoms such as: small bleeding dots , bruising under the skin or bleeding from the nose, gums, severe cases with organs bleeding

Symptoms due to hyperconemic cell proliferation may be encountered such as: hypertrophy of internal organs such as liver, spleen. Headache vomiting in stimulating meninges when invasive central nervous system

People at risk for Level leukemia's disease

The risk of acute leukemia is being studied in the direction of the impact of radioactive rays, preparations for diagnosis, some commonly used chemicals as well as geographical and genetic factors , virus infection, ... can be encountered in all subjects of all ages.

Prevention of Level leukemia's disease

With the cause of acute leukemia has not been clearly defined, the preventive measures are not very specific. Preventive measures are mainly isolation of habitats from mutations such as radiation, chemicals as well as maintain a healthy lifestyle and improve the body's resistance

Diagnostic measures for Level leukemia's disease

Diagnostic criteria for identifying acute leukemia include:

Based on typical clinical symptoms such as:

Anemia syndrome

Syndrome of hemorrhage due to platelets: common in skin, mucosa, scattered blood clotting (dic)

Infection syndrome: Fever, mouth ulcer, pneumonia, Skin infections

Interfection syndrome: liver, spleen, enlarged lymph nodes, central nervous contamination

Full situation: fatigue, thin, fast collapse

Bone marrow test

see blast cells> 20% of cells with nucleus in the marrow

Level leukemia's disease treatments

Different leukemia treatments at the stage of the disease depending on the purpose of treatment:

Treatment of retreating disease: The main purpose is to repel malignant cells while helping normal cells to recover

Treatment of post -retreat treatment: The purpose of minimizing the number of malignant cells, while helping blood cells return to normal. If the treatment stops at this stage, most patients will recur

Methods of hematoma stem cell transplantation: is a method that reduces the risk of recurrence and approaches the condition of completely cure for patients. This method uses chemotherapy combining body radiation with high doses to destroy the maximum number of malignant leukemia in the body. Because this treatment also damages both normal hematopoietic stem cells in the body, new stem cells need to be grafted after treatment. The assignment of graft also depends on the age, systemic condition and function of the organs in the patient's body.
