Does lymphoma kill off rbc?
Lymphoma itself does not directly kill red blood cells (RBCs), but it can lead to anemia, which is a condition characterized by a low RBC count. This can occur due to several factors, including bone marrow infiltration by lymphoma cells, chronic inflammation, or the effects of treatment such as chemotherapy. Additionally, lymphoma can also cause splenomegaly (enlargement of the spleen), which may lead to increased destruction of red blood cells.
Lymphona Warning Signs?
Lymphoma is a disease that tends to sneak up on people. Its early warning signs are very subtle and may not be recognized for a while. The most common symptom of lymphoma is enlarged lymph nodes. These will appear most often as bumps in the armpits, groin or neck. They can also appear in the chest, abdomen and on the skin. These swollen lymph nodes are usually slightly painful and tender. However, sometimes the bumps can be firm but not painful. Many people notice these bumps while taking a bath or changing clothes. Unexplained weight loss is another symptom of lymphoma. Lymphoma can cause a significant weight loss of up to fifteen pound in a couple of month's time. In addition to the unexplained weight loss, lymphoma patients may also experience loss of appetite, which will cause further weight loss. Vomiting, nausea and abdominal discomfort may also be present. A fever that does not accompany a respiratory or urinary tract infection could signal lymphoma. Fever that accompanies lymphoma will keep occurring even though there is no infection causing the fever. In addition to fever, night sweats are another symptom of lymphoma. One unique symptom of lymphoma is itching all over the body. This itching is caused by chemicals that are released from the lymphoma cells. Some people have a skin rash that accompanies lymphoma. Extreme tiredness and lack of energy can also indicate lymphoma. When lymphoma is located in the neck or chest, it can cause swelling of the neck and face and difficulty breathing. It can also cause coughing. When the lymphoma is near the thymus, it can cause chest pain. If lymphoma has caused swelling of the spleen, there may be abdominal pain present. Lymphoma can cause back pain if the swollen lymph node is putting pressure on the nerves of the lower back. However, back pain can have may other causes that have no relation to lymphoma. Many of the symptoms of lymphoma can be caused by other minor, easily treatable diseases. Therefore it's important to always consult your physician if you see a pattern of symptoms emerging that suggest that they could be caused by lymphoma.
