Leukopenia. Treatment of the disease.
Leukopenia is a condition that indicatesa decreased amount of leukocytes in a person's blood. This ailment is a sign of some pathological diseases and processes. It can also indicate the presence of a separate syndrome, which causes a constant or periodic decrease in the number of leukocytes. If you have leukopenia, treatment should begin at the earliest stages of its development, as often this phenomenon occurs when oncological diseases. After the treatment of malignant tumors is accompanied by a chemotherapy procedure, which also affects white blood cells (leukocytes).
Leukopenia. Treatment
The attending physician, in the first place, is appointedpharmaceuticals designed to stimulate leukemia. These can be drugs that stimulate metabolic processes (methyluracil, pentoxyl, leukogen) or medications that reproduce colony-stimulating factors (lenograstim, agrarimost, filgrastim, etc.).
It is very important, first of all, to direct all forceson the treatment of leukopenia, which appeared due to a malfunction of the bone marrow. Quite often, women have leukopenia of the cervix, this problem also requires a lot of attention.

You can also use them if leukopenia occurs against a background of a serious infectious disease.
Treatment of this ailment should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor.
Causes of appearance
- Failures in the regulation of leukopoiesis
- Defects stem cells, transmitted at the gene level, provoking violations in their proliferation and differentiation.
- Lack of substances important for the proliferation and maturation of leukocytes. This is folic acid, vitamin B1, B12, copper and iron.
- A cancerous tumor metastasizes to the brain, resulting in a reduction in leukopoietic tissue.
- The effects of chemicals (benzene, toluene, arsenic), ionizing radiation and other various destructive factors.
- The defeat of toxins and bacterial viruses of homoeopetic brain cells.
- Damage to stem cells (immune).
Symptoms
