In leukemia the marrow is busy producing abnormal white cells and not enough red blood cells are produced resulting in anemia. Patients look pale, feel weak and tired. Reductions in number of healthy platelets cause patients to bruise and bleed easily. Leukemia cells are functionally abnormal, hence the body cannot fight infections and thus patients often get infections and fevers.
Like all blood cells, leukemia cells travel throughout the body. Depending on the number of abnormal cells and where these cells collect, patients with leukemia may have a number of symptoms. In acute leukemia, symptoms appear and get worse quickly. People with this disease visit their doctor because they feel sick.
In acute leukemia, the abnormal cells may collect in the brain or spinal cord (also called the central nervous system or CNS). The result may be headaches, vomiting, confusion, loss of muscle control and seizures. Leukemia cells also can collect in the testicles and cause swelling. Also, some patients develop swelling in the eyes or on the skin. Leukemia affects the digestive tract, kidneys, lungs or other parts of the body.
