Signs and Symptoms of Acute Leukemia

Acute leukemia can cause many different signs and symptoms. Most of these occur in all kinds of acute leukemia, but some are particularly common with certain subtypes.

Patients with acute leukemia often have several generalized symptoms. These can include weight loss, fever, and loss of appetite. Of course, these are not specific to acute leukemia and are more often caused by something other than cancer.

Most signs and symptoms of acute leukemia result from a shortage of normal blood cells due to crowding out of normal blood cell-producing bone marrow by the leukemia cells. As a result, people do not have enough properly functioning red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets.

Anemia, a shortage of red blood cells, causes shortness of breath, excessive tiredness, and a "pale" color to the skin.

Not having enough normal white blood cells (called leukopenia), and, in particular, too few mature granuloctyes (called neutropenia or granulocytopenia), increases the risk of infections. Although leukemia is a cancer of white blood cells and patients with leukemia may have very high white blood cell counts, acute leukemia cells do not protect against infection. Thrombocytopenia, (not having enough of the blood platelets needed for plugging holes in damaged blood vessels), can lead to excessive bruising, bleeding, frequent or severe nosebleeds, and bleeding from the gums.
