Dermatologist Wu Ji Ni mentioned on the “Health 2.0” program that there was a 48-year-old male patient who had no history of chronic diseases. He often had cold hands and feet, was prone to fatigue, and had inexplicable bruises on his body. After a blood test, it was found that his white blood cell count Exceeding the normal value, he was referred to the Department of Hematology and found to be suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia.
In the program, Wu Jini shared that the 48-year-old male patient went to the doctor because of eczema. His wife described to her that her husband had had cold hands and feet for six months and was prone to fatigue. The patient also said that he accidentally bumped into it a few days ago. It was found that there was a large area of bleeding in the stomach. Wu Ji Ni felt that something was wrong, and immediately arranged for a blood test. It turned out that the man’s white blood cell count was nearly 30,000, which exceeded the normal value, and there were only 50,000 platelets left, while the normal value is more than 150,000.
After referral to the hematology department, the patient was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. Wu Jini said that leukemia is blood cancer, and bone marrow is hematopoietic cells. Once occupied by blood cancer cells, it will not be able to make blood. In addition, the low platelet count will lead to the inability to coagulate blood. Symptoms such as bleeding gums, nosebleeds or large bruises will appear, especially Neck and abdomen, if inexplicable bruises should pay more attention.
Physician Liu Pengchi also explained that there are 3 common symptoms of acute myeloid leukemia: fever, bleeding and feeling tired. And most chronic myeloid leukemia is mainly tired. If the elders in the family have bruises, inexplicable bleeding, or frequent colds, repeated fever, etc., you should also be careful whether it is blood cancer.
In addition, he also mentioned that liver function problems will also affect the production of coagulation factors in the liver. Clinically, some patients with long-term liver inflammation or viral hepatitis will cause spleen enlargement, resulting in cells being trapped, and the number of platelets will decrease. If it falls off, it will affect the blood clotting effect and make the patient easy to bruise. The doctors in the program also appealed to the public that if they have the above symptoms, they should seek a professional doctor’s diagnosis as soon as possible, which is safer.
