The most important cause of anemia in acute leukemia is the infiltration of leukemia cells into the bone marrow, which inhibits the normal hematopoietic function of the bone marrow.
Acute leukemia is a progressive malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells.
The most important reason for anemia caused by acute leukemia is that a large number of malignant proliferative leukemia cells infiltrate the bone marrow, resulting in abnormal growth and function of hematopoietic stem cells, which affects the development of blood cells, inhibits the normal hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, and suppresses the hematopoiesis of the red blood lineage, thus producing anemia.
Secondly, during the treatment of acute leukemia with chemotherapeutic drugs, the chemotherapeutic drugs kill the leukemia cells while causing some damage to the normal hematopoietic cells, which also aggravates the occurrence of anemia. When acute leukemia is detected, it is important to seek timely medical treatment and actively diagnose and treat the disease under the guidance of the doctor.
