Chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL is a form of blood and bone marrow cancer. This type of leukemia grows relatively slow when compared to other types of leukemia. Lymphocytes which are white blood cells that help the body fight against infection are affected in CLL.
Older adults are predominantly affected by chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The disease can be controlled by certain treatments.
In most cases, patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia show no symptoms at an initial stage. Symptoms tend to develop as the cancer grows over time.
Consult a doctor if these signs and symptoms are persistent.
The causes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia have not been discovered. Some error occurs that causes mutations in the DNA of the cells that produce blood. The mutation of cell causes uncontrolled duplication resulting in abnormal lymphocytes which are ineffective at fighting infection. The abnormal lymphocytes begins to multiply themselves when lymphocytes that are healthy would die.
Complications arise when the accumulation of the abnormal lymphocytes occur in the blood and some other organs. The surrounding of the abnormal lymphocytes around the healthy cells separates them from the bone marrow and hamper the production of the blood cells.

Leukemia ya Lymphocytic ya muda mrefu (CLL) ni aina ya kansa ya damu na mifupa. Aina hii ya leukemia hukua polepole ikilinganishwa na aina nyingine za leukemia. Lymphocytes, ambayo ni chembe nyeupe za damu ambazo husaidia mwili kupambana na maambukizo, huathiriwa katika CLL. Watu wazima wenye umri mkubwa huathiriwa hasa na leukemia ya lymphocytic sugu. Ugonjwa huo waweza kudhibitiwa kwa matibabu fulani. Katika visa vingi, wagonjwa wenye leukemia ya lymphocytic sugu hawaonyeshi dalili katika hatua ya awali. Dalili huelekea kuibuka kadiri kansa inavyoendelea kukua kwa muda. Mtafute daktari ikiwa dalili hizi zinaendelea. Sababu za leukemia ya lymphocytic sugu hazijagunduliwa. Mabadiliko ya DNA hutokea katika chembe zinazozalisha damu. Mabadiliko ya chembe husababisha duplication uncontrolled kusababisha lymphocytes abnormal ambayo ni haifanikiwi katika kupambana na maambukizi. Chembe za chembe za chembe zisizo za kawaida huanza kuzidisha wakati chembe za chembe za chembe zenye afya zingefa. Matatizo hutokea wakati mkusanyiko wa lymphocytes zisizo za kawaida hutokea katika damu na baadhi ya viungo vingine. Lymphocytes ya kawaida kuzunguka seli za afya huwatenganisha na uti wa mgongo na kuzuia uzalishaji wa seli za damu. +6666888 - Msaada wa Msaada
