Hairy Cell Leukemia

 Hairy cell leukemia is a Chronic disease by an accumulation of abnormal B lymphocytes. It's usually classified as a sub-type of chronic leukemia (CLL). In hairy cell leukemia, the "hairy cells" (malignant B lymphocytes) accumulate within the bone marrow, interfering with the assembly of normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Consequently, patients may develop infections associated with low white blood corpuscle count, anemia and fatigue thanks to a scarcity of red blood cells, or easy bleeding thanks to a coffee platelet count. Leukemic cells may take in the spleen and cause it to swell; this will have the side effect of creating the person feel full even when he or she has not eaten much. Hairy cell leukemia is usually diagnosed after a routine blood count shows unexpectedly low numbers of 1 or more sorts of normal blood cells, or after unexplained bruises or recurrent infections in an otherwise apparently healthy patient. Platelet function could also be somewhat impaired in HCL patients, although this doesn't appear to possess any significant practical effect. it's going to end in somewhat more mild bruises than would rather be expected for a given platelet count or a mildly increased bleeding time for a minor cut. It's likely the results of producing slightly abnormal platelets within the overstressed bone marrow tissue. Patients with a high tumor burden can also have somewhat reduced levels of cholesterol, especially in patients with an enlarged spleen.
