How is Leukemia diagnosed?

Leukemia is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Some of the common diagnostic tests for leukemia include:

Blood tests: A complete blood count (CBC) can show abnormal levels of blood cells, which can be an indicator of leukemia.

Bone marrow biopsy: A small sample of bone marrow is taken and examined for abnormal cells

Imaging tests: X-rays, CT scans,<

What is the cost of Leukemia treatment?

The cost of Leukemia treatment can vary widely depending on the type of treatment required, the duration of treatment, and the location of the hospital.

USD 16200 TO 19800

Who is the right doctor to consult for Leukemia?

An oncologist, who specializes in the treatment of cancer, is the right doctor to consult for Leukemia.

What technology is used during Leukemia treatment?

Flow cytometry: a laboratory technique used to analyze cells and determine the type of cancer cells present in the blood or bone marrow.

PCR (polymerase chain reaction): a lab technique used to identify specific genetic mutations that are associated with Leukemia.

Immunohistochemistry: a lab technique used to identify specific proteins in cancer cells that may be targeted with certain treatments.

PET-CT scans: imaging tests that can detect small areas of cancer activity.

What precautions should be taken during Leukemia treatment?
  • Practice good hygiene to avoid infections.
  • Avoid contact with sick individuals.
  • Take all medications as prescribed by the doctor.
  • Get plenty of rest and maintain a healthy diet.
What are the key tests during Leukemia treatment?

 

  • Blood tests monitor the number of cancer cells and the patient's overall blood counts.
  • Bone marrow biopsy to determine the extent of the cancer and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
  • Imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs may be used to monitor the progression of the disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, congenital heart disease can be passed down from a parent to a child. If one or both parents have a congenital heart defect, there is an increased risk of their child having the condition as well. However, it is important to note that not all congenital heart defects are inherited and some can occur due to other factors such as infections during pregnancy or exposure to certain medications or substances.

The initial treatment process for a child with congenital heart disorder depends on the type and severity of the condition. This could include medications for visible symptoms and monitoring with regular checkups.

The tests for congenital heart disorders do not always require hospitalization. Many of the tests can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means the patient can leave the hospital or clinic on the same day. However, some tests may require a short hospital stay, particularly if the patient is an infant or young child.

The treatment options for congenital heart disease may depend on the type and severity of the condition. These options may include medications or procedures like cardiac catheterization.
