What other blood cell related problems are often seen in patients with chronic leukemia?

Solution
The term leukemia is referred to neoplasm of hematopoietic tissue. Unlike the solid tumors the
leukemic cells diffuse into bone marrow and lymphoid tissues and spill over into blood stream to
spread to various organs of the body. The leukemic cells are either mature or extremely
primitive. Rich amounts of white blood cell counts in leukemia reveals the spread of tumors to
peripheral blood. However, the proliferation of white blood cells is mostly confined to bone
marrow and no significant increase in number of white blood cells in the blood stream can be
observed.
Leukemia is classified depending on the type of the cell and maturity of proliferating cell. Any
type of hematopoietic cell may produce leukemia but most common types are granulocytic,
monocytic and lymphocytic. The leukemia developing from stem cells produce the leukocytes
containing specific granules such as neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. This type of
leukemia is called granulocytic leukemia. Monocytic leukemia is developed from the precursor
cells of monocytes. Lymphocytic leukemia is produced by lymphoid precursor cells.
When the leukemic cells are most primitive forms the neoplasm is called acute leukemia. The
leukemia with mature cells is called chronic leukemia. Chronic granulocyte leukemia is caused
by circulating matured granulocytes and neutrophils along with few primitive cells. Chronic
lymphocytic leukemia is caused by circulating mature lymphocytes.
The clinical features of leukemia are either caused by impairment of function of bone marrow or
caused by infiltration of leukemic cells into viscera. The overgrowth of leukemic cells in bone
marrow crowds out the normal cells leading to anemia because of inadequate production of red
blood cells. Bleeding is caused by thrombocytopenia and infection resulting from insufficient
numbers of white blood cells to provide protection by immune defense mechanism against
pathogens.
Leukemic cells spreading to other tissues may invade into spleen, liver, lymph nodes and other
tissues. The chronic leukemia proceeds at a slow rate and can be controlled by treatment over
long periods of time. Therefore, the patient may survive for several years. In an acute leukemia
the disease is rapidly progressive and leukemic cells infiltrate bone marrow and viscera with
conspicuous appearance.
