Dr. Zhang Heyang
The late-stage symptoms of acute leukemia mainly include severe anemia, bleeding, serious infections, generalized body pain, and extramedullary lesions. Severe anemia can cause profound weakness, leaving patients unable to move. In addition to petechiae and ecchymoses on the skin and mucous membranes, hemorrhages may occur in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, and even intracranial hemorrhage may develop. Severe infections can lead to recurrent high fever, respiratory failure, and even shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Generalized body pain is caused directly by the disease itself and often requires analgesic medications for effective relief.
