Leukemia "acute" threat to her. Need to know before it's too late

Cancer seems to be a life-threatening disease, people continued. The first is that no one wants to face.

The procedure in the treatment extremely difficult. Combined with the symptoms of the disease inflicted a heavy toll on the stage of cancer progression too.



Cancer is one of the many known as "leukemia" or leukemia. What happens to the white blood cells within ourselves. There is another kind of scary as well.

It is acute myeloid leukemia. Caused by abnormal cells in the bone marrow.

The proliferation of embryonic cells as well. It will only stop growing. The cells can not grow to normal.

Cause increased steadily. To inhibit the function of white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells.

Patients will occur in the short term. eruptions If not treated promptly. And died quickly In just the past few months.

Symptoms of Acute Leukemia

Due to acute myeloid leukemia It is caused by abnormal white blood cells in the embryonic stage. Has its origin in the bone marrow

When growing a lot in a short period of time. These cells will not grow further.

But back to inhibit the function of other cells. Including platelets

It then spread to organs such as the skin, accumulate in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and so on.

Patients showing symptoms more quickly. But in a short time. A few months if not treated.

It noted that the symptoms are fatigue, weight loss, anemia, bleeding disorders. Found blood spots under the skin There thrombocytopenia, fever infection easily.

This type of cancer cells Can establish itself as a diverse cells. Subdivided into species more common cancers.

As a result, each with different disease progression. The treatment is complicated To observe the shape of abnormal cells.

For its unusual happens in the genes or chromosomes. If Abuse Treatment The patient suffered a slump. And died in no time.

The classification of acute myeloid leukemia.

For the classification of cancer It is divided into two main categories, namely.

  1. acute leukemia type reminded Lloyd (Acute myeloid leukemia - AML).The disorder is caused by a type of white blood cell, the mule Lloyd. Is the most common type.Occur at any age The most visible is used. The elderly over
  2. acute leukemia type Paralympics foil (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia - ALL).The disorder is caused by a type of white blood cell, Lim foil. Patients found to be in childhood.Or old people's home This is a condition in which abnormal lymph nodes inserted in some cases.


The causes of leukemia.

For the cause of the disease is not as clear. It found that the risk factors. Will stimulate the creation of abnormal white blood cells.

The age group is increasing. The radiation exposure at high concentrations. Patients who had been treated with radiation or chemotherapy.

Exposure to some chemicals such as formalin, formaldehyde and benzene series and so on.

Patients with certain genetic diseases such as Down syndrome patients who are infected with the virus HTLV-1.

And patients with diseases of the bone marrow. But there are some groups that have this disease without any factor. Catalyze



The diagnosis of leukemia.

For diagnosis If the symptoms mentioned above. Doctors will perform blood tests and bone marrow as well.

The patient visits. After history It found that the symptoms that occur are carried out quickly.

Are associated with bone marrow Tumor cells were inserted through the tissue, and other organs. The function of the body's balance.

Symptoms, which shows clearly that there is a fever, bleeding, anemia, abnormal liver.

Lymph nodes, spleen, weight loss, some are swollen testicles. Bone and joint pain

And disorders linked to the nervous system. Cause nausea and vomiting due to increased pressure in the skull.

If patients are acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors have found larvae of the white blood cells in large quantities. Which is detected in the bone marrow and by organs.

The treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

For the treatment process Doctors will use a palliative until the patient goes into a crisis situation.

There will be a major component of blood, each tailored to the symptoms of the patients were living at the time.

With the use of antibiotics In patients with fever and a drop in white blood cells. The other case is a specific treatment.

The use of chemotherapy as the primary treatment. Which will focus on bone marrow function has returned to normal as soon as possible.

Is to reduce the amount of cancer cells less. The chemotherapy used in each period are different.

Because some cancer cells It is found in parts difficult to reach. The central nervous system You must use other drugs. He attributed therapy

However leukemia acute Often a source that has been stimulated by stress.

The girls are often exposed to work stress becomes chronic. Be careful symptoms

Keeping your mental health to relax If patients experience the symptoms listed above. It should be in consultation with a doctor is the best.

The white blood cells

The blood of our people, including red blood cells, white blood serum and platelets. Although only about 1 percent of the blood volume. But the white blood cells that play a role in resistance to diseases. And infectious diseases
There are various types of leukemia Each type has different features, including.

  • Neutrophils (New Nitro Phil's).
  • Eosinophils (eosinophil granulocyte series).
  • Basophils (basophil granulocyte series).
  • Monocytes (monocytes)
  • Lymphocytes (lymphocytes).

The function of white blood cells

The main function of white blood cells responsible for immunity of the body against the disease. Both against non-infectious diseases. Such as cancer, allergies and infections including viral, fungal and bacterial infections. White blood cells are created in the bone marrow and transported into the body through the lymph and blood cells, each type will act differently, but to work together, such as blood type Neutrophils act against bacteria. And cause inflammation Eosinophils and Basophils will act on Monocytes and Lymphocytes are allergic to act on the immune system.



Bring to boil, then check

He will make sure the patient chair, stretching his arm to draw blood. Officials would Arm above the elbow And detect blood vessels to penetrate. After cleaning, disinfecting the area to be drilled. Officials put the needle and the blood on the syrinx as desired. The authorities will loosen the hose Pull the needle out of the skin And use cotton or cloth gauze drill press area Press or roll up sleeves for a few seconds until the blood stops.



Normal values ​​of WBC

Adult (male / female): WBC count: 5,000 - 11,000 cells / cu.mm.

Outliers

Low white blood cells known as Leukopenia caused.

  1. The body is being poisoned by drugs (drug toxicity) as a toxic cancer drug application module. Or chemotherapy (Chemotherapy)
  2. Bone marrow contains hematopoietic perversity can not (bone marrow failure) as tumors, infections, medications press marrow.
  3. The body is severely infected (Overwhelming infection) typically infected blood is high. If the infection is severe neutropenia.
  4. The lack of certain nutrients such as vitamin B12 or iron phosphoric acid Alice etc.
  5. Spleen overwork (Hypersplenism) by trapping white blood cells collected from a highly unusual.
White blood cells, known as leukocytosis.

  1. The body may have been bacteria Pathogens, or disease, from which it enters the body. Therefore urged to boost white blood cell count is increasing.
  2. Disease may create white blood cells from the bone marrow disorders. (Myeloproliferative disorders)
  3. There may be some type of cancer, such as leukemia (leukemia).
  4. May be due to an injury (trauma), as caused by stress. Hemorrhoids or accidental burns.
  5. There inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or atopic allergy.
  6. Potential conditions, lack of water
  7. Thyroid function can too.
  8. The steroid medication may be too long.
RESULTS

In the report, each of which may be used as well. Neutrophil, polymorphonuclear cell, PMN is all the same. The result would be white blood cells.

  1. See that the number of white blood cells, which are found more or less may be above or below normal.
  2. After looking at the number of white blood cells look kind of white blood cells. How many of each type that are compared to the number of white blood all. The report will come out in% as Neutrophil ................%.
  3. If you want to know how much each type of cell, it has to be multiplied by the number of leukocytes% divided by 100 would be white blood cells of each type.
  4. Considering the number of each type of white blood cell that is much less than the normal value.
  5. Then look abnormal white blood cells that have irregular shapes. Or larva out much.
