Central nervous system leukemia symptoms?
summary
? Central nervous system leukemia is not conducive to the orderly progress of our daily life and work. In order to have a healthy life and work, we should understand some common symptoms of central nervous system leukemia, timely prevention. So, what are the common symptoms of central nervous system leukemia? Now let's talk about it.
Central nervous system leukemia symptoms?
The main clinical manifestations were headache, nausea, vomiting, papilledema, visual impairment, convulsion, coma, hemiplegia and meningeal irritation. Cerebrospinal fluid examination may have increased intracranial pressure, increased protein and white blood cell count, decreased sugar and chloride, and leukemic cells may be found. Central nervous system leukemia can occur at any stage of acute leukemia, but most of them occur in remission. Because a variety of chemotherapy drugs are not easy to pass through the blood-brain barrier, the leukemic cells hidden in the central nervous system can not be effectively killed, and become the refuge of leukemic cells, which is the primary cause of relapse of extramedullary leukemia.
acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common form of central nervous system leukemia, especially in children. The incidence rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is 26% to 80%, and the incidence rate of acute myeloid leukemia is 7% to 38%. similar to meningitis, with intracranial hypertension, such as headache, vomiting, optic nerve papilledema, etc. If the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid is increased, the number of white blood cells and protein in cerebrospinal fluid are increased, and the sugar is decreased, leukemia cells can be detected. Cerebral nerve invasion can cause corresponding symptoms, such as visual impairment, pupil changes and facial nerve paralysis, the latter is more common in all patients.
Leukemic cells infiltrate into the meninges or brain parenchyma in the central nervous system, which makes the patients show corresponding neurological and / or psychiatric symptoms. Leukaemia can be seen at any stage of leukemia. When patients with leukemia have unexplained headache, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision or diplopia, strabismus, facial paresthesia, hemiglossia or paraplegia, defecation or mental behavior disorder, consciousness disorder (drowsiness, drowsiness, coma) and other conditions in the course of disease, we should be alert to the occurrence of leukaemia.
matters needing attention
Eat more high protein food, this is because leukemia is caused by pathological changes in blood cells, the body protein consumption of such patients is far greater than that of normal people, only the supplement of high quality protein, can maintain the function of various tissues and organs.
