Leukemia is a blood disorder caused by uncontrolled proliferation and impaired differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. The main clinical symptoms are anemia, fever, severe bleeding tendency, and a sharp decrease in the number of platelets and white blood cells. Since the disease is not a disease of the digestive or endocrine system, there are no major contraindications to eating fruit. On the other hand, because leukemia patients have lower resistance and are more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections, they can eat fruits that can strengthen their resistance, such as papaya and kiwi, in their diet.
In the process of eating fruit, leukemia patients should also be careful not to eat too much cold fruit, because leukemia patients have fewer platelets, so they have a greater tendency to bleed and may have several hidden bleeding spots in their gastrointestinal tract, and if they eat a lot of cold fruit at this time, it increases the likelihood of these bleeding spots becoming inflamed.
