The leading disturbance Leukemia causes is the uncontrolled growth of leukocytes that prevent normal blood development in the bone marrow. All blood cells are formed in the bone marrow‚ developed from primitive stem cells into mature blood cells. There are approximately 2.5 million red blood cells and about 3‚500 white blood cells produced every second. These cells are produced at a ratio of seven hundred to one.

The distinctive red colour of the erythrocytes or red blood cells is due to their contents of haemoglobin. In order to facilitate its purpose the erythrocytes can be described as biconcave in shape therefore enabling them to diffuse oxygen around the body with

Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia is a disorder that causes platelets to be destroyed at an accelerated rate. Platelets are produced from the fragmentation of bone marrow megakaryocytes and then are released into the circulation where they play an important role in hemostasis by forming a platelet plug when needed. They do this by binding to a damaged vessel wall‚ which is then stabilized by fibrin. When platelets are prematurely destroyed‚ it causes abnormal hemostasis. Thrombocytopenia is the
