In acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), malignant transformation and uncontrolled proliferation of abnormally differentiated, long-lived myeloid progenitor cells cause a large number of blast cells in the circulating blood and replacement of normal bone marrow with tumour cells. Typically, with acute leukaemia, symptoms worsen over a short period. Cancer cells are rapidly spreading throughout the body, and without treatment, a person dies in a couple of months. Therefore, it is important to diagnose the pathology at the initial stage.

Symptoms of the disease

Patients who were diagnosed with this disease noted the following signs: 

• frequent colds infections; 
• loss of appetite; 
• weight loss; 
• increase in body temperature for no apparent reason; 
• increased fatigue; 
• frequent mood swings; 
• headaches; 
• presence of bruises; 
• the appearance of bleeding; 
• the decrease in haemoglobin levels. 

These symptoms can easily be confused with signs of another disease. Therefore, to clarify the diagnosis, you must consult a specialist and not self-medicate.

Who is susceptible to the development of pathology

Specialists distinguish the following categories of the population in whom this pathology most often occurs: 

• young children, as well as the elderly; 
• persons with a genetic predisposition; 
• in the presence of other diseases of the circulatory system; 
• persons exposed to chemical attack and radiation; 
• people who abuse smoking and alcohol; 
• persons who have previously undergone chemotherapy and radiation exposure.

The specialists of Tel Aviv Medical Clinic diagnose this disease with 100th accuracy and in their practice use minimally invasive therapy methods, which include taking medications, bone marrow transplantation, and radiosurgery.
