Leukaemia Medicine

Leukemia may be a blood cancer caused by an increase within the number of white blood cells in your body. Those white blood cells displace the red blood cells and platelets that your body must be healthy. The extra white blood cells don’t work right.

Leukemia Symptoms
Different types of leukemia can cause different problems. You might not notice any signs in the early stages of some forms. When you do have symptoms, they may include:

Weakness or fatigue Bruising or bleeding easily Fever or chills Infections that are severe or keep coming back Pain in your bones or joints Headaches Vomiting Seizures Weight loss Night sweats Shortness of breath Swollen lymph nodes or organs like your spleen

Blood has three types of cells: white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that carry oxygen, and platelets that help blood clot. Every day, your bone marrow makes billions of new blood cells, and most of them are red cells.These leukemia cells can’t fight infection the actual white blood cells do. And because there are so many of them, they start to affect the way your organs work. Over time, you may not have enough red blood cells to supply oxygen, enough platelets to clot your blood, or enough normal white blood cells to fight infection.
