summary

Leukemia is a disease that we are very concerned about, and the impact of this disease is also many, leading to patients' inner distress. Leukemia directly and seriously affects family happiness, so we need to understand the harm of leukemia as soon as possible. This disease is mainly caused by bacterial infection, and also affects lung health. So, what are the common harmful consequences of leukemia?

What is the common harmful consequence of leukaemia basically

1. Infection is a common pathogenic factor of leukemia, and it is also a common risk factor of leukemia. What is the harm of leukemia to patients? Because leukemia causes leukemic symptoms of normal leukopenia, especially neutropenia, chemotherapy and other factors also lead to the lack of granulocytes, so that patients are prone to serious infection or sepsis. The bacteria that often cause infection are: gram positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, Corynebacterium and other gram negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, etc. Candida albicans, Aspergillus, Trichoderma and trichosporum expansum were the most common fungal infections. These fungal infections occurred in patients with long-term agranulocytosis or persistent fever but not sensitive to antibiotics.   

2. The incidence of leukemia is easy to cause lung disease, which seriously endangers the health of patients. Due to the decrease of neutrophils and immune function in leukemia patients, it often leads to pulmonary infection. In addition, leukemic cells and infiltration can block the small blood vessels and bronchi of the lung and cause dyspnea and respiratory distress syndrome. The chest film can have ground glass or miliary reticulation, which can be used for experimental treatment of lung radiation.   

3. Leukemia patients should take hyperuricemia blood syndrome as a common disease, which is very harmful; normal people excrete 300-500mg uric acid in their urine every day due to the decomposition of nucleic acid metabolism. In leukemia patients, the amount of uric acid excretion can be increased dozens of times due to the nucleic acid decomposition of a large number of leukemia cells. Hyperuricemia occurs when patients receive chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments. The application of corticosteroids can increase hyperuricemia, and the high concentration of uric acid quickly supersaturates and precipitates.

matters needing attention

When there is leukemia, we need to pay attention to a reasonable diagnosis, confirm the disease must pay attention to timely treatment, to avoid causing more harm, the disease will continue to develop, will prolong the time of qualitative change, bring great impact on the lives of patients, so we should find the disease as soon as possible. Usually also pay attention to the treatment method, to avoid causing other parts to be affected.
