What are the symptoms of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia?

Answer 1

The symptoms of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are as a consequence of the failure of bone marrow. These include:

• Symptoms of anaemia (low levels of haemoglobin in the blood) - tiredness, weakness and shortness of breath.
• Repeated fever and infections.
• Easy bruising and/on bleeding, especially from the mouth, eyes or lower limbs.
• Rarely, lymph nodes can be enlarged.
• There may be signs of liver and/on spleen enlargement to feel.

Answer 2

Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL), develops rapidly, as the symptoms become apparent within just a day or week. Some of the symptoms, includes pale complexions, fatigue, constant infections, bruising and abnormal bleeding. The deficiency in healthy red blood cell and white blood cells causes the abnormal bleeding, which is critical.

Answer 3

One will definitely know if they have acute lymphoblastic leukeimia; it is easily diagnosed by a doctor due to extreme fatigue, fever and generalised bodily pain.
