What causes acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Patient: Hello, I had been diagnosed with A.L.L. in Feb. 2003 my age was 27 years then. I completed treatment for 3 years and my CBC and Peripheral Blood Smear reports are normal except for low Platelet counts. What could be the reason and what are the chances of relapse. I completed treatment in Apr. 2006 and thereafter I am having no medicines. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.You have ALL. You took chemotherapy treatment for that. Now you have normal CBC And peripheral smear report. OS no need to worry. Your low platelet count may be due to some other cause like viral infection or non specific cause. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. If you have any signs of bleeding then consult your doctor urgently. Otherwise no treatment is required. Chances of relapse are always there. you should monitor your complete blood count regularly.Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.Thanks for using health care magic.Wish you a very good health.
