The main symptoms of advanced acute myeloid leukemia are severe anemia, bleeding, severe infections, generalized pain, and extramedullary lesions.
Symptoms such as anemia may be caused due to the reduction of platelets as well as affecting the growth of red blood cells in advanced stages. Severe anemia can cause severe weakness and inability to move around. As well as petechiae and ecchymosis of the skin and mucous membranes, bleeding from the digestive and urinary tracts and even cerebral hemorrhage may occur.
Due to the abnormality of white blood cells, resulting in decreased immunity may cause serious infections, which can lead to recurrent high fever, respiratory failure, and even shock. Generalized pain is caused by the disease itself, and this pain usually requires the application of analgesic drugs such as morphine for effective relief. Some patients also have extramedullary lesions, the most common of which are leukemic central nervous system infiltration.
Some patients may have other manifestations, the above drugs need to be used in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, and should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment when the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia is confirmed.
