Can Leukemia always be detected through blood tests?
I have had many blood tests and my doctor hasnt mentioned leukemia as being a possibility of an illness i could be suffering with. In my opinion ive done alot a research and i have more symptoms of that than anything else. So that is why i am curious to know if its not detected in the blood could it be detected some where else?

Usually they do a blood test first and then they order a bone marrow test.That will definitely show up something. Ask your doctor about your blood test, and let him explain what the results are and what they mean. Find out what your White count is, if it is over the normal count then there is a infection somewhere. There are too many illness that have to do with the blood, so stop researching and making yourself crazy, ASK YOUR DOCTOR.

If the physician is suspicious you have leukemia, he 1st checks your blood counts, then does a bone marrow biopsy. Leukemia is serious and you would know if leukemia is suspected within the same day as your blood work.

leukemia is cancer of the blood cells, however if you feel adamant on your diagnosis consider getting a second opinion or a more in depth testing

Leukemia is cancer of the White blood cells and so yes your white blood cells would be elevated quite a bit if you had leukemia.


goldengirl
it is detected through blood tests and bone marrow tests

My friend, do not make any conclusions about your illness before the necessary is done, checking yourself in several sources of info could not help but make you worry, the leukemia is a medical condition that needs to be diagnosed with bone marrow studies, the blood tests are helpful, but not diagnostic, but, if your medical doctor has not mentioned it you don't need to be worried, or maybe you want to see another doctor, ask them all your doubts. Go to the physician, my advice. Be fine

You would need to have a bone marrow biopsy to be diagnosed, a blood test can show abnormalities, like low haemoglobin and platelets and a raised white count, it may also show blast cells (if these are in the blood, its a good indication that leukaemia is what you have)
Has your doctor ordered a bone marrow biopsy, you need one to be sure.
