Leukemia is a cancer of the?
Leukemia is a cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by the abnormal production of white blood cells, which are essential for the immune system. In leukemia, the bone marrow produces large numbers of abnormal white blood cells that do not function properly. These leukemia cells can crowd out normal blood cells, leading to problems with blood clotting, anemia, and a weakened immune system. There are different types of leukemia, and they are classified based on the type of white blood cell affected (lymphoid or myeloid) and whether the disease is acute or chronic. Acute leukemia progresses rapidly and requires immediate treatment, while chronic leukemia progresses more slowly and may not cause symptoms for many years. Common types of leukemia include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The specific type of leukemia and its classification influence the treatment approach and prognosis for individuals affected by the disease.

How does chronic lymphocytic leukemia affect your kidneys?
There are four major types of leukemia:AcuteChronicLymphocyticMyeloid -In acute leukemia, the bone marrow cells don't mature properly. These immature cells continue to reproduce and crowd out normal cells. Some types of acute leukemia respond well to treatment and many patients are cured. Other types have a less favorable outlook. In chronic leukemia the cells look mature, but they are not really normal and they can't fight infection they way they should. Also, the cells live too long, build up, and crowd out normal bone marrow cells.Lymphocytic and myeloid (or myelogenous) refer to the different cell types from which leukemias start. Lymphocytic leukemias develop from lymphocytes in the bone marrow. Myeloid leukemia mainly develops from other types of white blood cells such as granulocytes or monocytes.Because leukemia does not usually form tumors, imaging tests are not always helpful. Imaging studies might be done in people with ALL, but they are done more often to look for infections or other problems rather than for the leukemia.
