Dr. Zhang Heyang
Hyperleukocytic leukemia is a medical condition prone to life-threatening complications such as intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and tumor cell lysis, which can lead to early death. It is considered an acute and critical disorder in hematology. These severe complications—such as intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, ARDS, and tumor cell lysis—are particularly likely to cause early mortality, especially in a small number of cases involving newly diagnosed acute leukemia or acute transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia.
