Leukemia

lack of cells in the body.......

ALL leukemia is Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

ALL is a fast-growing cancer of the white blood cells. This form of cancer is more common in children than adults, although both can have it.

As a childhood Leukemia survivor, I have to say that it is more likely to accure in children, and this type of Leukemia has the highest survival rate.

high

The median age at which people develop HCL is 52 years.

White blood cells are made in the bone marrow, and that is not affected by a blood transfusion. Transfusions help for a little while, but it is the bone marrow that is the problem.

i have no idea wha it is but if you go to google and search what is ascites it might give the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

No.

No , FLV is not transferable to a human host . See related link below to additional information .

Myeloid cell is a bone marrow stem cell that is the precursor of red cells, platelets, granulocytes (type of white cells), and monocytes (cells which engulf microbes). Cancerous transformation of the meyloid cell gives rise to myeloid leukemia.

It really depends on the type of leukemia. But there are several generalizations one can make across the board for all types. Leukemia reflects an unregulated accumulation of immature cells in the bone marrow and lymph tissue. WBC's typically >50,000 per cubic millimeter Shift to the Left # Acute myelocytic leukemia - increased blasts, increased pros and increased segs # Acute lymphocytic leukemia - Increased L-blasts, increased L-pros and no increased segs # Chronic myelocytic leukemia - presence of metas or myelos and increased segs # Chronic lymphocytic leukemia - presence of metas or myelos and no increased segs There are the basics.

As electricity passes through wires it creates and electromagnetic field. When people are near high voltage wires they are subject to this electromagnetic radiation. Though there may be no direct proof that this causes leukemia, there is evidence that other types of radiation does. This also applies to electric blankets, living near radio transmission towers, and cell phones held next to the head.

ALL occurs when immature, malignant white blood cells overproduce and crowd the bone marrow. The cells affected are immature forms of lymphocytes called lymphoblasts. The lymphoblasts out crowd other white blood cells in the marrow this means that healthy cells are out crowded and die off while the immature ones continue to replicate essentially causing the body to have a lot of white blood cells that are flawed and do not protect from infection.

dos leukemia cause lympherderma

a cancer that will eventually be life-ending

transplant is done (MPD Research Centre, Association of Online Cancer Resources) 20% of chronic myelogenous leukemia patients has a relapse during the first five years after a transplant (MPD Research Centre, Association of Online Cancer Resources) 50% of chronic myelogenous leukemia patients will be in remission at 8 years if they receive a transplant within one year of being diagnosed as in the chronic phase (MPD Research Centre, Association of Online Cancer Resources)

Leukemias are classified as either lymphocytic or myeloid, depending on the type of leukocyte affected. In addition, leukemias are classified as either acute, referring to a rapidly progressing disease that involves immature leukocytes, or chronic, referring to a slower proliferation involving mature white cells. In acute leukemias, immature nonfunctioning leukocytes called blast cells proliferate.

Yes. But it is very rare.

Chemists have developed medicine to fight leukemia.

On some high risk protocols it is used in the second delayed intensification phase. Even though there was no evidence of blasts in the spinal fluid. It is used prophalactically.

The body's defense system is working extremely hard to fight the disease, and that in itself can cause fatigue.

Christians see butterflies a symbol of the resurrection. They are also thought to symbolize the passing of a friend or family member. Butterflies also represent change, hope, life, and endurance. Any of these can be a symbol to a patient with cancer of any kind.

Leukemia patients suffer from a deficiency of platelets, among deficiencies of normal blood cells.

Platelets are important clotting factors. A lack of platelets in the blood results in hypocoagulability. This predisposes patients to hemorrhages (bleeding diathesis). This means that if a leukemia patient suffers from external or internal trauma, they tend to bleed really easy.

What i don't get is this- what about patients who did not suffer from any injury? Do they still bleed spontaneously? What causes them to bleed? There must be something damaging the blood vessels or causing an increase in endothelial gaps (allowing passage of red blood cells) before blood actually appears in the nose or mouth, right? Is high blood pressure such a cause and what other causes are there?

fatigue, nausea, vomiting, easy bruising and bleeding, fevers/chills, night sweats. There is nothing different in symptoms from radiation-induced leukemia from other origins of leukemia.
