Answers: i'm jsut wondering
Blood tests are your first thing. An elevated white blood cell count, also elevated immature white blood cells, when no infection is present is a hallmark sign.
Some other related symptoms:
Fever, chills, night sweats and other flu-like symptoms
Weakness and fatigue
Swollen or bleeding gums
Neurological symptoms (headaches)
Enlarged liver and spleen
Frequent infection
Bone pain
Joint pain
Dizziness
Nausea
Swollen tonsils
Diarrhea
Paleness
The excessive number of cells can also interfere with the level of other cells, causing a harmful imbalance in the blood count. Usually this is seen in an abnormally low hematocrit level.
Once the physician suspects that a patient's blood is abnormal, blood and bone marrow tests are performed to rule out leukemia. Additional tissue samples may be needed to confirm the diagnosis or to help plan treatment.
