What are the symptoms of APML?
The main symptoms of APML are caused by a lack of normal blood cells. Because APML develops quickly, people usually report feeling unwell for only a short period of time (days or weeks) before they are diagnosed. Common symptoms include:
🔹 persistent tiredness, dizziness, paleness, or shortness of breath when physically active due to a lack of red blood cells or anaemia
🔸frequent or repeated infections and slow healing, due to a lack of normal white cells, especially neutrophils
🔹 increased or unexplained bleeding or bruising, due to a very low platelet count, or problems with the clotting system.
Serious bleeding abnormalities due to the low platelet count and clotting factors are much more frequent in patients with APML compared with ‘standard’ AML. Patients often present with increased bruising and bleeding from gums or their bowels, and are at an increased risk of bleeding in their brain.
Occasionally people have no symptoms at all and APML is diagnosed during a routine blood test. Some of the symptoms described may also be seen in other illnesses, including viral infections, so it is important to see your doctor so that you can be examined and treated properly.
