Leukemia

leukemia is not a pathogen but rather a form of cancer that affects the bone marrow/blood. Basically it causes rapid production of immature white blood cells.that are not effective in providing immunity

Andrew McMahon had leukeima and he is famous.

Andrew McMahon is the lead singer for Jack's Mannequin & Something Corporate

Now, he even stars in a documentary about being a muscian with leukemia!

1. Cancer is very common . It is found all over the world even in Europe .

IT doesnt attract

id anyone has a flu wen they cougth sneeze the bacteria go into the air and you breth in the bacteria which then reacts wiv youre body or makes you all ; blood exchange <making blood brothers / sisters > / saliva <kissing wiv tounges . or drinking from the same cupp> are also ways to pass on the flu

žLeukemia is a cancer. During leukemia, the bone marrow makes one blood cell incorrectly usually white blood cells and the body produces a lot of these cells. These strange cells would look different then the healthy cells and they will not function properly. The body continues to produce these abnormal cells. Then there will be an imbalance between the healthy and unhealthy cell which causes the symptoms of leukemia.

Yes, the most curable form of leukemia is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It also happens to be the most common form of leukemia in children.

Yes leukemia is a Greek word deriving from the greek words lefko ema (white blood).

Platelets (thrombocytes) are a type of blood cells, which are derived in the bone marrow from large cells called megakaryocytes. They are critical for the clotting of blood and have a lifespan of about 10 days. The normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 - 400,000/ml and a reduction in platelets is referred to as thrombocytopenia. This may be mild (100,000 - 150,000/ml), moderate (50,000 - 100,000/mlƒw) or severe (less than 50,000/ml).

Platelets may be low due to:

a) Increased destruction (immunologic ¡V infections, drugs; gestational thrombocytopenia) or utilization (disseminated intra-vascular coagulation; abnormal vasculature as seen in hemolytic uremic syndrome & thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura).

b) Decreased production (leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, megaloblastic anaemia, drugs, infections.

c) Sequestration in the spleen (cirrhosis of liver).

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the presence of isolated thrombocytopenia with a normal bone marrow and the absence of other causes to account for it.

Drugs can can cause platelet destruction by a variety of mechanisms. Platelet production in the marrow is inhibited by cytotoxic drugs, thiazide diuretics, interferon, and alcohol. Most often, drug-induced thrombocytopenia is mediated by immunological destruction of platelets via antibodies. Some common drugs associated with thrombocytopenia include quinidine, amiodarone, gold, captopril, sulfonamides, glibenclamide, carbamazepine, ibuprofen, cimetidine, tamoxifen, ranitidine, phenytoin, vancomycin, and piperacillin. The diagnosis of drug-induced thrombocytopenia is often empirical and it is often difficult to identify the drug that is causing severe thrombocytopenia in an acutely ill patient who is taking multiple drugs. A careful history and examination of medical records can reveal a temporal relationship between the administration of the drug and the development of thrombocytopenia, with no other explanations for the thrombocytopenia. Its recurrence following drug re-exposure confirms the diagnosis.

No treatment is required when the platelet counts are more than 50,000/ml. Treatment is indicated

a) when platelets are less 50,000/ml and there is significant mucous membrane bleeding;

b) in patients with hypertension, peptic ulcer disease or vigorous lifestyle who have a risk factor for bleeding

c) when platelet count <20,000-30,000/ml. Glucocorticoids and intra-venous gammaglobulins (I.V. Ig) are the mainstays of medical therapy. Their use and dose is dictated by the symptoms, patients clinical condition and the platelet count. Platelet transfusion is indicated for controlling severe hemorrhage. Platelet survival is increased if the platelets are transfused immediately after I.V. Ig infusion.

it depends on what type of leukemia you have. if you don't have treatment with Acute leukemia it could be as little as a few weeks.

The baby might also have it.

Same as cancer only that lukemia is the special name for cancer in the blood. the reason is unknown. (yet!) :)

You have added this both to Abortion and Leukemia and Statue of Liberty (?) so I have no idea what tablet you are talking about. You have to be more specific and tell me what it is for.

The B-2 visitor visa is also referred to as the "tourist" visa. Foreign nationals who wish to enter the United States for recreation and pleasure or for medical treatment often use it.

Industrial chemicals include choking agents and blood agents; warfare agents include blister agents and nerve agents.

A myeloid cell is any leukocyte (white blood cell) that is not a lymphocyte. These are white blood cells that function as part of the immune system, and defend the body against disease and infection. Under normal conditions, leukocytes only account for about 1% of the blood supply. When you become sick, the body makes more leukocytes to combat invading or damaged cells.

There are seven types of leukocytes, six of which are classified as myeloid cells:

# Neutrophils: defend against bacterial and fungal infections, dead cells become pus # Eosinophils: primarily defend against parasitic infections # Basophils: generally involved in allergic response, they release antihistimines # Monocytes: work with Neutrophils to remove dead cells and debris from the blood # Microphages: Consume and digest pathogens and stimulate other leukocytes # Dendritic cells: process antigens, which aids the body in developing immune response The seventh type of leukocyte is the lymphocyte, which is mainly found in the lymphatic system, and comprise three types of cells (B-cells, T-cells, and Natural killer cells) that fight viral infection and tumors, make antibodies, and coordinate the immune response against intracellular bacteria. Leukocytes are not classified as myeloid cells.

It's orange, sometimes green.

I honestly don't know. Ask jesus. He knows everything. He even knows the hair on your penis or vagina. He knows it all.

They died from the radiation from the bomb getting in to their systym.

No, Trudy was murdered in a car bomb.

No, it does not lead to having leukemia.

A Vitamin B12 deficiency is not directly linked to leukemia. Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects blood cells and is caused by genetic mutations, while vitamin B12 deficiency usually results from dietary factors or malabsorption issues. However, some symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency, such as anemia, fatigue, and weakness, may overlap with symptoms of leukemia, so it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Yes. A WBC ct. of 16.6 is indicative of an infection or an acute stress response, most commonly.

its depends on the medicine and treatment that u get... but btw if u hav leukemia it doesnt mean that ure life span is less than the normal people... its depends on the medicine and treatment that u get... but btw if u hav leukemia it doesnt mean that ure life span is less than the normal people... its depends on the medicine and treatment that u get... but btw if u hav leukemia it doesnt mean that ure life span is less than the normal people...

One of my favorites! "Breaking The Rules" 1992. Jason Bateman was the dying Phil. C. Thomas Howell and Jonathan Silverman played gene and rob. and Annie Potts played Mary. Available mostly on used VHS. A DVD copy is very hard to find, or expensive to find, but it can be done,
