Leukemia is a type of blood cancer<\/a> which is caused by the infection in Bone Marrow. Through the infection in Bone Marrow, the cancer cells can directly influence the production of new cells, mainly the white blood cells\/ lymphocytes which increases the chance of being caught by Leukaemia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leukemia is often diagnosed in kids of age under 15 years or in adults of age 45 and above. Out of all <\/span>blood cancer<\/span> cases, about 80-90% of them are of this category. Also, note that Leukaemia is not a one-time infection, it is developed over the period. In a healthy body, the cells grow, multiply their number and then die which is immediately replaced by other new cells whereas the infected\/ cancerous cells developed in bone marrow, grow and multiplex just like healthy cells but their lifespan is increased. And if it is not detected in time, cancer cells will outrank the healthy cells in the human body and make you infected. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leukemia is Further Classified Into Four Sub-Types:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"types<\/p>\n

In this type of Leukemia, the bone marrow produces a large number of abnormal and immature lymphocytes called Lymphoblasts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Acute Myeloid Leukemia<\/h3>\n

\"acute-myelogenous-leukemia\"<\/p>\n

Acute Myeloid Leukemia is the state of a body in which bone marrow generates a large number of abnormal and immature white blood cells which is known as blasts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia<\/h3>\n

\"leukemia\"<\/p>\n

When a body produces a large number of abnormal B lymphocyte white blood cells, they are under the threat of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. These abnormal B lymphocytes grow with time as it possesses a longer lifespan compared to healthy body cells. Also, it is difficult to distinguish between the normal and abnormal lymphocyte under the microscope. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia<\/h3>\n

When the stem cells present in bone marrow behaves abnormally, it is known as Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Causes of Leukemia<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are various risk factors which are associated with the cause<\/a> of Leukemia like: <\/span><\/p>\n
