Plasma Cell Leukemia – Symptoms, Treatment, and More

Signs and Symptoms of Plasma Cell Leukemia

Since plasma cell leukemia is very rare, most of reported symptoms come from different case studies. These include frequent infections, anemia, bone pain, easy bleeding or bruising, kidney failure, fluids in the lungs, enlarged liver, enlarged spleen, swelling of lymph nodes, and high calcium levels in the blood. Most of these signs are linked to organ damage caused by the high levels of abnormal plasma cells in the bloodstream. If you notice any suspicious problems, make sure to inform your doctor to get a precise diagnosis. Early treatments are important to help prevent cancer cells from growing and spreading, thus improving the overall outlook. [5]
