Patient's question:
My colleague's uncle is 35 years old this year. A few weeks ago, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with leukemia. The family is very worried, so you have asked several times, will leukemia cause anemia?Doctor's answer:
The causes of anemia are very complex. Currently, common etiologies include malnutrition, infections, tumors, medications, autoimmune diseases, kidney diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and endocrine genetic diseases. The causes of leukemia are divided into four categories: one is hereditary factors, another is radiation factors, the third is chemical factors, and the fourth is viral factors. Therefore, leukemia patients often suffer from anemia. Patients should pay more attention to their diet and supplement nutrition appropriately for better effects.
