Leukemia

Leukemia is a cancer of blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal proliferazine (produced by multiplication) of blood cells, usually white blood cells (leukocytes).
Leukemia is part of a greater group of diseases called hematological neoplasms.

The word is derived leukemia by the high number of white blood cells that patients have before treatment. Often, excess white gliobuli is ripe or not working.
However, some individuals suffering from leukemia are not very nuemro of white blood cells visible in a normal blood test. This situation is less common aleucemia call, and is characterized by the fact that the white blood cells instead of carcinogens enter the bloodstream, remain within the bone marrow.

The general symptoms of leukemia include:
red dots (petechiae)
Autoimmune diseases
anemia
fever, chills, night sweats and other flu-like symptoms
weakness and fatigue
loss of appetite and / or weight
swollen or bleeding gums
excessive bleeding (small cuts)
neurological symptoms (headache)
enlarged liver and spleen
easy formation of ecchymoses
frequent infections
bone pain
pain
swollen tonsils

TYPES OF LEUKEMIA

Acute leukemia:
rapid proliferation of immature blood cells which makes the bone marrow unable to produce healthy blood cells
form that affects children and young people
Initial symptoms above, sometimes even years, and the disease include anemia, the occurrence of bruising, bleeding gums, persistent fever, due to lower production of red blood cells and platelets by the bone marrow, bone pain spontaneously or in response to pressure
sometimes the onset can be violent with cerebral haemorrhage, pulmonary or gastrointestinal tract or with a severe infectious episode, not controlled with medication.
in advanced stage leukemia cells can infiltrate the central nervous system, causing headache, vomiting, nausea, drowsiness, gingival in orletto; in the skin, kidneys, spleen, liver

Depending on the type of abnormal cell differs in:
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (or acute lymphoblastic leukemia):
most common form of leukemia in children, but can also affect adults, especially those over 65
characterized by the overproduction and continuous multiplication of malignant white blood cells or immature (also called lymphoblast) in bone marrow
haematological malignancy
Initial symptoms are nonspecific
signs and symptoms include general weakness and fatigue, anemia, fever and unexplained or frequent infections, weight loss and / or appetite, excessive bruising or excessive bleeding from wounds, nose, petechiae (red dots on the skin), joint pain and bone, short breath, swelling of lymph nodes, liver and / or spleen
Granulocitica acute leukemia (or acute myeloid leukemia):
most often affects adults
is a cancer of the myeloid line of white blood cells, characterized by rapid proliferation of abnormal cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere in the production of normal cells
the symptoms are caused by the replacement of bone marrow cells with leukemia and involve a fall in the levels of red blood cells, platelets and white blood cell count normal
Symptoms include fatigue, shortness breath, easy bruising and bleeding, increased risk of infections
the first symptoms of the disease are aspecific and can be similar to those of flu and other illnesses such as fever, fatigue, loss of weight or appetite, short breath, anemia, petechiae, bone pain and joint replacement
risk factors: blood disorders such as pre-leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes mieloproliferativa; exposure to anticancer chemotherapy, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals like benzene and other solvents, while several congenital diseases (eg Down syndrome)

Chronic leukemia:
characterized by the excessive construction of relatively mature blood cells, but abnormal
may take months or even years to progress
affects older people, but theoretically can affect all age groups

Depending on the type of abnormal cell differs in:
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia:
affects adults over 55 years old, sometimes young people and children almost never
neoplastic proliferation of abnormal B cells that accumulate primarily in the spinal cord and blood

Chronic granulocyte leukemia:
affects adults and rarely children
and characterized by an unbridled proliferation of myeloid cells in bone marrow
disorders of stem cells of bone marrow
associated with a chromosomal translocation
affected individuals often do not show obvious symptoms
Some symptoms may include malaise, slight fever, susceptibility to infections, anemia, thrombocytopenia with easy bruising, splenomegaly (enlarged spleen)

There are no known single cause of the different types of leukemia. The researchers suggest four main reasons:
natural or artificial radiation
certain types of chemicals
some viruses
genetic predisposition

The traditional treatment of leukemia is different depending on the type of disease, but in any case, are used chemotherapeutic and cytotoxic drugs. In serious cases, it requires a drill to the marrow.
Among the nutritional supplements adjuvants to traditional treatments for leukemia, may be useful as a basis of:
Niacin
Vitamin B12
Folic acid
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Bioflavonoids
Copper
Iron
Zinc
