Leukemia is a disease of the bone marrow, such as cancer, characterized by abnormal proliferation of so-called "protection" or "white blood cells."
White blood cells originate in the bone marrow. Bone marrow normally produces granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, every variety of white blood cells. It also produces red blood cells and platelets and retinal cells or thrombocytes. We speak with every variety of ancestors. Before passing the immature white blood cells through intermediate countries and then to the "explosions". Not found these explosions usually in the bloodstream, except in special circumstances: a large infection, trauma or bleeding, and blood cancer.
And various blood cancers through the line to the origin of white blood cell proliferation, and the percentage of blasts in the blood flow is present.
Leukemia, multiple cores (or favorite) called "myeloid leukemia"
Called monocytes leukemia "Vahidi leukemia"
Leukemia cells called "lymphocytic leukemia." Note that a certain type of lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and to give the so-called "tricoleucocytes" leukemia.
The percentage of blasts in the bone marrow, and select the category is called acute or chronic acute leukemia than 50% blasts. Therefore, we are talking about acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or lymphoblastic (ALL) speaks
And chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
