What is leukaemia caused

summary

The children of my best friend's family have always been healthy and lively. A few days ago, they suddenly said that they had been treated in the hospital because they had leukemia. Now the whole family has collapsed. I'm also worried about the children. I really don't know why a good child has this disease. Today, let me talk about what causes leukemia.

What is leukaemia caused

The first aspect: chemical factors some chemical substances have the effect of leukaemia. For example, the incidence of leukemia in the population exposed to benzene and its derivatives is higher than that in the general population. Nitrosamines, butazone and its derivatives, chloramphenicol induced leukemia can also be seen, but there is a lack of statistical data.

The second aspect: there is definite evidence for radiation factors, which can confirm that various ionizing radiation conditions can cause human leukemia. The occurrence of leukemia depends on the dose of radiation absorbed by the human body. The whole body or part of the body can be induced by moderate or high dose radiation.

Third, leukemia is not caused by virus. Leukemia is a kind of malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. The leukemia cells in the clone were out of control in proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, and stopped at different stages of cell development.

matters needing attention

Prevention and treatment of infection is one of the key points during the treatment of acute leukemia. Affected by the disease, the patient's immunity will decline rapidly, so that it is easy to be infected by pathogens and other harmful bodies. And patients in the treatment period, we must pay special attention to do a good job of nursing, in order to avoid the occurrence of infection.
