Acute myeloid leukemia symptoms
Bone marrow failure and infiltration of internal organs with aberrant cells causes the majority of signs and symptoms in acute myeloid leukemia. Others result from complications derived upon the pathophysiology of the disease. Younger patients usually start displaying symptoms after a few days or after one or two weeks. Others may start with prodromal symptoms for weeks or months before acute and more severe symptoms start to appear.
In acute myeloid leukemia, we are expected to see the following signs and symptoms:
1) Fatigue
It is one of the most common and the majority of patients display fatigue for some time before the onset of more severe symptoms. There are many causes for this fatigue, including an increase in the metabolic rate and anemia (a reduction of red blood cells) that results from the disease.
