Does leukemia cause bone pain and fever?
Disease description:
I just want to consult a doctor; I have a relative who has leukemia and has recently developed bone pain. Will he experience fever?

Leukemia patients may indeed experience fever accompanying bone pain. Relevant explanations are as follows:
1. Causes of bone pain: There are multiple reasons why leukemia causes bone pain, such as increased pressure within the bone marrow cavity due to cell proliferation and infiltration of nerve roots by leukemia cells. This pain can be severe and persistent.
2. Causes of fever: When leukemia cells proliferate excessively, they release pro-inflammatory factors that stimulate the immune system, placing it in a highly active state, which leads to increased heat production and reduced heat dissipation, thus causing fever.
3. Other symptoms: Patients with leukemia may also experience symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, and pallor.
If symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical treatment under a doctor's guidance to alleviate the condition.
