The Different Forms of Acute Leukemia Reviews


Leukemia is a disease of the bone marrow and the blood is known to affect the production of normal blood cells. Normal blood cells have a limited life and must be constantly replaced by fresh cells, young people to pursue their activities.

There is a type of cell in the bone marrow (stem cell) that mature type of blood cells that the body needs.

Under normal conditions, these stem cells both in the development of red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets, in a controlled manner.
 

Leukemia disrupts normal development of blood cells and causes the accumulation of partially developed cells that are unable to fulfill their role within the organization.

Judging by the speed of development and persistence of the disease, there are two types of leukemia: acute leukemia and chronic leukemia. Judging by the types of stem cells affected by the disease, lymphocytic leukemia can be as or myelogenous.

Acute leukemia is different from chronic leukemia by the levels that stem cells are able to reach in their development (cells that have defects still manage to partially develop and either resemble immature cells or of whole blood cells, stem normal white).

In the body of people who suffer from acute myeloid leukemia, the bone marrow cells that form a kind of partially matured white blood cell called myeloblast rod.

Myeloid cells tend to multiply rapidly and much higher than the number of healthy blood cells, thus facilitating the occurrence of anemia, infections and weaken the body's immune system. This form of leukemia tends to recur and can rebuild over time.
