4. Leukemia
Leukemia describes A type of cancer affecting blood cells. There are numerous categories of blood cells, which include white blood cells platelets and red blood cells. Typically, leukemia indicates cancer of white blood cells. White blood cells are a critical part of the immune system. The white blood cells protect the body from pathogens such as viruses bacteria and fungi, reducing the pathogen’s ability to replicate in the body.
Those patients with leukemia experience a malfunction in their white blood cell production. The cells start to divide faster than other cells crowding them out of the tissues and organs. The bone marrow is responsible for the majority of the production of white blood cells, but they also occur in the thymus gland, lymph nodes, and spleen as well.
Leukemia may also lead to the onset of bulging eye syndrome in affected individuals. If you notice symptoms of bulging eyes, as well as the presence of hyperthyroidism symptoms, visit your doctor for a diagnosis. Your doctor will run a blood test to determine the presence of hyperthyroidism, and other forms of cancer such as leukemia.
