Leukemia without excess bleeding?


heres something ive been wondering, is it possible for someone to have leukemia without excess bleeding? Like a wound that heals normaly, rather then bleeds like people with leukemia do. Please dont answer if you dont truly know.

No I mean like with bruising too. Sorry, I dident add that.

Yes, it's entierly possible. There are many different types of leukemia (acute and chronic, myelogenous and lymphocytic), and a lot of variability in how each of these diseases presents.

The diagnosis of leukemia is made based upon analysis of blood tests and, usually, bone marrow biopsy. While low platelets are common with acute leukemias, causing excessive bleeding from wounds, patients with leukemia can certainly have normal platelet levels.
