Best Answer

A doctor may suspect you have leukemia after completing a physical or if you report experiencing the symptoms of leukemia. There are instances where leukemia is suspected from results of blood tests performed for other reasons. There are several tests a doctor may use to diagnose leukemia, ranging from blood tests to spinal taps.

Three of the test that is used to diagnose leukemia are a physical exam, blood test, and a bone marrow test. The physical exams looks for things like pale skin and swelling of lymph nodes, liver and spleen. A blood test is done to look for abnormal levels of white blood cells. And a bone marrow test is done to look for leukemia cells.
