Blood counts in leukemia generally show an increase or decrease in white blood cells, platelets, red blood cells, and hemoglobin.
1. Leukocytes: Most patients with leukemia have increased leukocytes, which is why it is also called leukocytoclastic leukemia. However, a small percentage of patients have low white blood cells.
2. Platelets: Half of the patients have a decreased platelet count, and very few have an extremely low platelet count.
3. Red blood cells: the change of red blood cells is small, but the patients will have different degrees of anemia.
4. Hemoglobin: Changes in hemoglobin are generally synchronized with red blood cells, because patients will have different degrees of anemia, and hemoglobin will also be reduced to different degrees.
The blood picture of leukemia patients can show different results at different times, often in the stable period, the indicators of blood routine tend to be normal. When the disease progresses, there will be significant changes (increase or decrease) in the blood counts.
Reasonable treatment should be carried out under the guidance of specialized physicians.
