Anemia and leukemia are comprehensively determined by symptomatic manifestations, serological examination, and bone marrow examination.
1. Anemia has symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, pallor, palpitation and dyspnea, and the symptoms worsen as the degree of anemia increases. Leukemia, on the other hand, in addition to the symptoms of anemia, will have bleeding gums, internal bleeding, skin bleeding and even brain bleeding, fever, respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal tract infections and so on.
2. Serological examination. Anemia is mainly manifested by hemoglobin lower than the lower limit of normal range. Adult female hemoglobin <110g/L, adult male hemoglobin <120g/L. In addition to low hemoglobin, leukemia blood routine will also show abnormalities of white blood cells and platelet count, such as low platelet count, abnormally increased or decreased white blood cell count.
3. Bone marrow examination. Bone marrow aspiration for anemia will not find abnormal cells, while bone marrow aspiration for leukemia will find abnormal cells when the proportion of primitive cells or primitive + naïve cells is >30%.
When you find the above symptoms, or serologic examination of the three abnormalities, you should consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to clarify the cause of the disease, and active treatment.
