Izimpawu ze-leukemia

Izimpawu zalesi sifo ziyahlukahluka kuye ngohlobo lwe-leukemia.

The izimpawu ze-acute leukemia ngokuvamile azicacisi futhi zifana nezezinye izifo ezinjengomkhuhlane. Zingavela ngokuzumayo ezinsukwini ezimbalwa noma amasonto.

The izimpawu ze-leukemia engapheli, ezigabeni zokuqala zesifo, zisakazeka kakhulu noma azikho nhlobo. Izimpawu zokuqala zivela kancane kancane:

• Umkhuhlane, amakhaza noma ikhanda.
• Ubuthakathaka obuqhubekayo noma ukukhathala.
• I-anemia, okuwukuphelelwa umoya, ukuphaphatheka, ukushayeka kwenhliziyo (ukushaya kwenhliziyo okusheshayo), isiyezi.
• Ukutheleleka njalo (amaphaphu, umgudu womchamo, izinsini, eduze kwe-anus, herpes noma izilonda ezibandayo).
• Ukuphelelwa isifiso sokudla.
• Umphimbo obuhlungu.
• Ukwehla kwesisindo.
• Izindlala ezivuvukele, isibindi esivuvukele noma ubende.
• Ukopha (ikhala, izinsini, izikhathi ezinzima) noma imihuzuko kaningi.
• Amachashazi amancane abomvu esikhumbeni (petechiae).
• Ukujuluka kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ebusuku.
• Ubuhlungu noma ukuthamba emathanjeni.
• Ukuphazamiseka kokubona.

Abantu abasengozini

• Abantu abanezinkinga zofuzo. Ukungajwayelekile okuthile kwezakhi zofuzo kunendima ekuthuthukisweni kwe-leukemia. Isibonelo, i-Down's syndrome ingahlotshaniswa nobungozi obukhulu be-leukemia.
• Abantu abanezinkinga zegazi. Izifo ezithile zegazi, njenge ama-syndromes we-myelodysplastic (= izifo zomnkantsha), zingandisa ingozi ye-leukemia.
• Abantu abanomlando womndeni we-leukemia.

Izici zengozi

• Uke welashelwa umdlavuza. Izinhlobo ezithile zokwelashwa ngamakhemikhali kanye nokwelashwa ngemisebe ezitholwe ezinhlotsheni ezihlukene zomdlavuza zingandisa ingozi yokuba nezinhlobo ezithile ze-leukemia.
• Ukuchayeka emazingeni aphezulu emisebe. Abantu abachayeke emazingeni aphezulu emisebe, isibonelo, abasinde engozini yenuzi, basengozini enkulu yokuba ne-leukemia.
• Ukuchayeka kumakhemikhali. Ukuchayeka kumakhemikhali athile, njenge-benzene (umkhiqizo wemboni yamakhemikhali otholakala kuphethiloli) kuthiwa kwandisa ingozi yezinhlobo ezithile ze-leukemia.  
• Ugwayi. Ukubhema ugwayi kwandisa ingozi yezinhlobo ezithile ze-leukemia.

Ezinganeni

Izici ezithile, isibonelo, ukuchayeka emisebeni enemisebe yezinga eliphansi, izinkambu kazibuthe kagesi noma izibulala-zinambuzane ezinganeni ezincane noma phakathi nokukhulelwa zingakha izici eziyingozi ze-leukemia yengane. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo olwengeziwe ludinga ukwenziwa ukuze kucaciswe indima yabo ekuqaleni kwalesi sifo.
