Leukaemia is cancer of blood which begins with bone marrow. It results in abnormal blood cells count. Diagnosis is usually based on complete blood counts and a bone marrow examination. Sometimes, it is very difficult to diagnose leukaemia, through blood tests especially in the early stages of the disease. A lymph node biopsy is performed to diagnose certain types of leukaemia. Following diagnosis, blood chemistry tests are done to determine the degree of liver and kidney damage or the effects of chemotherapy on the person. Treatment is highly variable depending on the type. For slow-growing leukaemias, treatment includes monitoring. For aggressive leukaemias, treatment includes chemotherapy, sometimes followed by radiation and also a stem-cell transplant. Slow-growing types of leukaemia have no or very mild symptoms. Rapidly growing types of leukaemia symptoms may include bleeding and bruising, feeling tired, fever, and an increased risk of infections. The exact reason for leukaemia is unknown but it is said to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
