The symptoms of Acute Myeloid Leukemia M2 mainly manifest in the following aspects: 1. Fever and infection: Most patients develop fever in the early stages, which is usually caused by impaired immune function, making the body susceptible to infections. Infections may occur in areas such as the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary system, and in severe cases, may lead to dysfunction of the body's temperature regulation center. 2. Bleeding: The massive proliferation of leukemia cells can interfere with the normal hemostatic process, leading to coagulation dysfunction and thus increasing the risk of bleeding. Bleeding may manifest as skin bruising, nosebleeds, and gum bleeding; in severe cases, internal bleeding, such as intracranial hemorrhage, may occur. 3. Anemia: As leukemia cells proliferate, normal hematopoietic function may be affected, impairing red blood cell production and causing anemia. Symptoms of anemia may include pallor, fatigue, and dizziness. The occurrence and severity of these symptoms may vary among individuals. If any related symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and professional treatment.
