Patient's question:
Suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia, white blood cells decreased after taking medication, but platelets remained high.Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of leukemia are primarily characterized by a reduction in all three blood cell lines or a significant increase in white blood cells, along with a decrease in red blood cells and platelets. In your case, since your white blood cells, red blood cells, and hemoglobin are all normal, leukemia can be largely ruled out. The levels of platelets are highly related to individual differences, and there are no particular precautions to take in daily care—just drink more water. You should consult a specialist doctor at the hospital for further examination to determine the exact cause.
