What are the clinical manifestations of leukemia?

On the one hand, anemia, infection and bleeding manifestations caused by a decrease in the production of normal blood cells due to the growth of a large number of leukemia cells in the bone marrow, which inhibits its normal hematopoietic function. On the other hand, the manifestations caused by the invasion of leukemia cells to various organ tissues.

1, anemia manifestations: due to leukemia, normal hematopoiesis is inhibited and red blood cell production is reduced causing anemia. Patients show weakness, dizziness, pallor, and gradually worsen their symptoms such as shortness of breath and tinnitus after activity.

2. Infection: Because of the increase in abnormal cells and decrease in normal white blood cells when suffering from leukemia, the resistance is low and infection often occurs. It is often manifested as persistent fever, respiratory tract infections such as sore throat, cough and sputum, oral and anal infections, etc.
