Leukaemia (Blood Cancer): Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis & Testing

  Don’t ignore the signs in your blood — early diagnosis can save your life.   What is Leukaemia? Leukaemia is a type of blood cancer that originates in the bone marrow — the soft tissue inside bones where blood cells are produced. In Leukaemia, the bone marrow produces  abnormal white blood cells  in large numbers. These cells do not function properly and interfere with the normal production of red blood cells, platelets, and healthy white blood cells. Over time, this can lead to anaemia, increased susceptibility to  infections , and  easy bleeding or bruising . Leukaemia can progress rapidly (acute) or slowly over time (chronic). Types of Leukaemia Leukaemia is classified into four major types: 1. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) Rapid onset Common in children, but can occur in adults 2. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) Affects myeloid cells Common in adults, especially older age groups 3. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) Slow-growing form Mostly affec...
