1. Anemia-related symptoms
Impaired red blood cell production causes pallor, fatigue, and palpitations, and in severe cases may affect organ function.
2. Bleeding tendency
Thrombocytopenia can lead to skin ecchymoses, epistaxis, and gingival bleeding; severe cases may involve internal organ hemorrhage.
3. Infection and fever
A reduction in functional white blood cells leads to recurrent fever and infection, which is a common cause of death and requires active anti-infective treatment.
4. Organ infiltration
Leukemic cell infiltration may cause lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and bone or joint pain.
5. Central nervous system manifestations
Infiltration of the central nervous system may cause headache and vomiting and may require urgent intrathecal therapy.
6. Digestive system symptoms
Infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract may cause loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and diarrhea; hepatosplenomegaly is also common.
7. Skin and mucosal manifestations
Skin involvement may cause rash and nodules, while mucosal injury may lead to oral ulcers and gingival hyperplasia.
8. 0Systemic wasting symptoms
Weight loss, night sweats, and cachexia may indicate rapid disease progression and require nutritional support.
Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine emphasizes that leukemia is a life-threatening malignant hematologic disease with complex and diverse manifestations. Early symptoms are often atypical and may be overlooked or misdiagnosed, increasing treatment difficulty. Improving awareness of typical symptoms is therefore essential, and suspicious signs should prompt timely medical evaluation. Early diagnosis and standardized treatment can significantly improve prognosis, and MDT-based individualized planning is key. With ongoing medical advances, treatment continues to improve and offers new hope to patients.
