Bruising of the legs is not necessarily caused by leukemia, but may also be caused by localized impact, allergic purpura and other factors.
1. Localized impact: the legs may have been severely impacted, resulting in subcutaneous capillary rupture, resulting in leg bruises, which may also be accompanied by pain or other abnormalities.
2. Henochromatosis purpura: It may be that the patient suffers from Henochromatosis purpura, which leads to blood escaping from the skin and mucous membranes, and may be accompanied by joint pain, blood in the stools, and proteinuria and other symptoms.
3. Leukemia: It is considered to be triggered by the decrease of platelet count in the patient’s body during the onset of the disease, or the poor coagulation function, etc. However, the patient may also be accompanied by fever, infection, anemia and other discomforts.
4. Primary immune thrombocytopenia can also cause leg bruises.
5. Certain coagulation disorders, such as hemophilia and severe liver dysfunction, can also cause leg bruising.
Although leukemia can cause leg bruising, but not only through the symptoms to confirm the diagnosis, the patient also needs to go to the hospital under the guidance of the physician to do further blood routine, bone marrow biopsy and cytochemistry and other related tests to confirm the diagnosis.
