Leukosis

Description:

Leukosis — a clonal malignant (neoplastic) disease of the hemopoietic system. The extensive group of such diseases, various on the etiology treats leukoses. At leukoses the malignant clone comes from unripe hemopoietic cells of marrow.

Leukosis symptoms:

Carry to somatic symptoms of leukemia:

    * bystry fatigue
    * drowsiness or sleeplessness
    * deterioration in brain activity: impossibility to concentrate, memory impairment

    * exacerbation of chronic diseases: herpes, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pyelonephritis
    * increase in lymph nodes, spleen or liver
    * unjustly increased temperature

Hematologic symptoms of leukemia:

    * the raised or lowered SOE
    * leukocytosis of any kind
    * the anemia which is especially not giving in to treatment a leukopenia
    * thrombocytopenia
    * existence of blast cells

Treatment of the Leukosis:

For treatment of an acute leukosis the combination of several antineoplastic drugs and high doses of glucocorticoid hormones is used. Bone marrow transplantation is in certain cases possible. The supporting actions — transfusion of components of blood and bystry treatment of the joined infection are extremely important.
At chronic leukoses apply so-called antimetabolites now — drugs which suppress growth of malignant cells. Besides, sometimes use radiation therapy or administration of radioactive materials, such as radioactive phosphorus.
The doctor chooses a treatment method in dependence of a form of a leukosis. Behind a condition of the patient it is controlled on blood tests and researches of marrow. It is necessary to be treated for a leukosis throughout all remained life.
