Can leukemia cause phlebitis?

Leukemia itself does not directly cause phlebitis, which is the inflammation of a vein, usually due to a blood clot. However, patients with leukemia may be more susceptible to phlebitis due to factors like frequent blood draws, intravenous (IV) therapy, or a compromised immune system. Additionally, some treatments for leukemia can increase the risk of clotting disorders, potentially leading to phlebitis. It's essential for patients to monitor any signs of vein inflammation and consult their healthcare provider.
