Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Chronic lymphocytic leukemiaThe disease is a types of lymphomas that are on the degree of low-slag and differ from lymphomas that cells Almtsrtna in this disease originate in the bone marrow and that they lose the elements with which the bone marrow and thus move from the bone marrow into the circulation appears in the blood and the fact that the disease can live with human for as long of 5-15 years with health problems require treatment only in the last years of the disease.


Given that the disease usually appears in older post-sixty, we can say that many patients living with this disease to the end of the age without cause them major health problems, although it affects, in some cases, young people below the fortieth When a disease that should be considered a risk to the injured person because most of them hope for themselves, health and wellness (in obedience to God) until an advanced age where they can perform their duty to see that the family their sons and daughters have stabilized their life.
Symptoms of chronic lymphocytic leukemiaSometimes the patient does not complain of any symptoms of the disease, but discovers he has accidentally when a blood test for other reasons not related to the disease. In some cases, the patient complained about the appearance of lymph node in the neck and under the armpits or in other places and when the doctor and being Aaaineh have some lab tests detected the presence of this disease. In some cases, cause this disease, hypertrophy of the spleen with its accompanying symptoms of fullness of the upper abdomen, especially after eating and the presence of pain resulting from an enlarged spleen as well as the cause of this disease in some cases, anemia or a decrease in platelets is an indication to the transmission of the disease to advanced stages or cause weakness in the immune disease with the presence of recurrent bacterial infections as a result of the predominance of cell-cell lymphoma Almtsrtna normal.
Diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemiaTo conduct laboratory analysis simple so-called blood cell counts CBC can discover that the lymphocytes in the patient increased by clear and usually do not differ lymphocytes Almtsrtna for lymphocytes natural in form to that attention should not be growing these cells as a result of infectious diseases is not malicious, especially among children who are increasing their lymphoid cells in some infectious diseases such as whooping cough and other viral diseases. On physical examination, the patient may find inflation in the lymph nodes, as we mentioned earlier, as well as inflation in the spleen, liver, and there may be pallor result from anemia or stain bleeding under the skin as a result decrease in platelets and in cases of non-existence of such phenomena pathological accompaniment should follow up the patient after a while and make sure that the proliferation of these cells permanently then conducted laboratory tests to make sure that the cells are actually cancerous, and also conduct tests to determine the progress of the disease and these tests usually is an examination of radiation of the abdomen and examinations of bone marrow and then are to discuss the situation with the patient to see if there was a need for treatment in the stage reached by the disease in this patient.
Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemiaAs mentioned previously, despite the proven diagnosis of this disease in some patients, we do not We therapy immediately if the patient is suffering from the disease in early stages, because of all the remedies currently available does not prove that it was investigating any benefit to the patient if used in early stages therefore only disease surveillance periodically until you get complications from the disease, which shall interfere therapeutically in order to address the complications resulting from such high inflation to the lymph nodes, especially if the cause of pressure on the arteries or veins or members of other sensitive, or inflation in the spleen or liver, or anemia resulting from the invasion of bone marrow cells Almtsrtna, or low blood platelets result of the invasion of bone marrow cells also Almtsrtna. Usually, the treatment, either by drugs given by mouth daily or in the form of doses on certain days of the month or in the form of drugs given intravenously for several days and repeated monthly and treatment by such means usually leads to control the disease and its complications, so patients can enjoy the health and well-being is good.

In cases of patients with this disease in age forty or fifty without being considered in an attempt to eradicate the disease completely by cultivation of bone marrow and as the cultivation of bone marrow process associated with the mortality rate of up to 15-20% and the proportion suffering the symptoms of different diseases by 40-50% In most cases, this means treatment should be considered carefully implemented and conducted only in patients expected to have fatal complications occur during the period of 5-7 years did not take place if, for example cultivation of bone marrow.
Complications of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

    
Swelling in the lymph nodes can be caused inflation in the lymph nodes, causing discomfort if the glands of a large excess of 5 cm in diameter, especially if they are in the areas of phenomenon such as the neck may happen that these lymph nodes pressing on the veins, arteries, especially central veins near the heart or press to other organs such as bile duct, causing blockage in the course of the bile ducts and lead to jaundice (yellowing of the eye).

    
Anemia and decreased blood platelets: A breach or invasion of bone marrow cells Almtsrtna to occupy the space of the area of ​​bone leads to poor production of normal cells such as red blood cells which leads to anemia or poor production of blood platelets, which leads to decrease in blood platelets with a consequent tendency to bleeding under the skin or in other sensitive members of the body.

    
Immune disease: This disease is sometimes associated with immune phenomena such as the formation of antibodies crash of red blood cells or platelets in spite of their production enough in the bone marrow that leads to anemia with jaundice or low blood platelets, with a tendency to bleed.

    
Decrease antibody: sometimes produce cells Almtsrtna kind of your protein, which is a protein that is naturally in large quantities and occurs vulnerable in lymphocytes and natural weakness of antibody production shall be the patient susceptible to infection with different types of bacterial infection can be overcome by conducting the transfer of serum intravenously which leads to the formation of the patient's immunity against bacterial infections of various kinds.
