Ukuqonda i-Leukemia: Kuyini, futhi kufanele ukhathazeke? | Nirogi Lanka

Ukuzwa igama elithi “ i-Leukemia ” kungase kwesabise ngendlela eqondakalayo. Kungokwemvelo ngokuphelele ukuzizwa ukhathazekile lapho ubhekene namagama anjalo. Kodwa-ke, ukuqonda kahle ukuthi kuyini, kungani kwenzeka, yiziphi izimpawu, nokuthi kukhona ukwelashwa okuphumelelayo kungasiza kakhulu ekunciphiseni lokho kwesaba. KwaNirogi Lanka, sifuna ukukhuluma ngalomdlavuza ohlobene negazi ngendlela elula neqondakalayo—njengomngane noma ilungu lomndeni elikuchazela lona.

Kuyini i-Leukemia?

Kalula nje, i-leukemia umdlavuza wegazi . Ifektri eyinhloko yokukhiqizwa kwegazi emzimbeni wakho umnkantsha wakho. Ngaphakathi kwale "fektri," umzimba wakho uqala ukukhiqiza amangqamuzana egazi angajwayelekile—ikakhulukazi amangqamuzana egazi amhlophe angavuthiwe—ngaphandle kokulawuleka. Igama elithi “leukemia” lisuselwa emagameni esiGreki asho “omhlophe” (leukos) kanye “negazi” (haima).

Ngokungafani neminye imidlavuza eminingi, i-leukemia ngokuvamile ayikhi inqwaba eqinile noma (isimila) ongasibona ku- X-ray ( X-ray ) noma ku -CT scan ( CT scan ).

Kunezinhlobo eziningana ze-leukemia. Ezinye zivame kakhulu ezinganeni, kanti ezinye zivame kakhulu kubantu abadala. Izinqumo zokwelapha zihlukaniswa kakhulu ngokusekelwe kuhlobo oluthile lwe-leukemia, ubudala bakho, kanye nesimo sakho sempilo iyonke.

I-leukemia ikhula kanjani?

I-leukemia iqala emnkantsheni wakho wamathambo , izicubu ezithambile, ezifana nesiponji ngaphakathi kwamathambo akho. Yilapho umzimba wakho udala khona amangqamuzana egazi. Lawa maseli adlula ezinyathelweni eziningana ukuze avuthwe ngokugcwele. Igazi elinempilo lakhiwe ngezinhlobo ezintathu eziyinhloko:

• Amangqamuzana egazi abomvu : Lawa athwala umoya-mpilo nezinye izakhamzimba ezibalulekile emzimbeni wakho wonke.
• Amangqamuzana amhlophe egazi : Lawa yiqembu lokuzivikela lesimiso sakho somzimba, elilwa nezifo.
• Ama-Platelet : Lawa asiza ukujiya kwegazi lakho uma ulimele.

Wonke la maseli avela kumaseli e-hematopoietic stem. Lawa maseli e-stem ahlukana abe yizindlela ezimbili: amaseli e-myeloid namaseli e-lymphoid. Uma ekhula ngendlela evamile, aba:

• Amaseli e-Myeloid : Akha amaseli abomvu egazi, ama-platelet, kanye namaseli athile amhlophe egazi (ama-Basophil, ama-Eosinophil , nama-Neutrophil).
• Amaseli e-lymphoid : Adala amanye amaseli amhlophe egazi (ama-lymphocyte namaseli okubulala emvelo).

Kumuntu one-leukemia, elinye lala maseli akhulayo liqala ukuhlukana ngokushesha nangokungalawuleki . Siwabiza ngokuthi “amangqamuzana e-leukemia.” Agcwalisa umongo wamathambo, angashiyi ndawo yokukhiqizwa kwamangqamuzana abomvu egazi anempilo, amangqamuzana amhlophe egazi, noma ama-platelet.

I-leukemia ithinta kanjani umzimba wakho?

Uma amangqamuzana e-leukemia edlula amangqamuzana anempilo, kuvela izinkinga eziningana:

• Amaseli e-leukemia awenzi imisebenzi ebalulekile eyenziwa amaseli anempilo.
• Ngenxa yokuthi amangqamuzana e-leukemia agcwele umongo wamathambo, amangqamuzana anempilo awakwazi ukukhula noma ukuvuthwa kahle .
• Ngenxa yalokho, umzimba wakho awukwazi ukukhiqiza amangqamuzana abomvu asebenzayo anele, amangqamuzana amhlophe, noma ama-platelet.
• Ngenxa yalokho, izitho zakho nezicubu zakho zingase zingatholi umoya-mpilo owanele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umzimba wakho ulahlekelwa amandla awo okulwa nezifo noma ukujiya kwegazi ngempumelelo uma ulimele.

Yiziphi izinhlobo eziyinhloko ze-leukemia?

I-leukemia ngokuvamile ihlukaniswa ngokuthi ikhula ngokushesha kangakanani nokuthi yiluphi ulayini weseli (i-myeloid noma i-lymphoid) oluthintekile.

Ngesivinini sokuqhubeka kwesifo

• I-leukemia ebukhali : Kulolu hlobo, amangqamuzana e-leukemia anda ngokushesha okukhulu, okwenza lesi sifo siqhubeke ngokushesha. Ungase uqale ukuzizwa ungaphilile kahle emavikini ambalwa. Lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo sezokwelapha esidinga ukwelashwa ngokushesha. Luhlobo lomdlavuza oluvame kakhulu ezinganeni.
• I-leukemia Engapheli : Kulolu hlobo, amanye amangqamuzana awavuthiwe kanti amanye aziphethe njengamaseli avuthiwe. Angase enze eminye imisebenzi, nakuba engasebenzi kahle njengamaseli anempilo. Lesi sifo siqhubeka kancane kakhulu kune-leukemia ebukhali. Ungaphila iminyaka eminingi ungenazo izimpawu ezibalulekile. Lokhu kuvame kakhulu kubantu abadala kunasezinganeni.

Ngohlobo lweseli

• I-leukemia ye-Myelogenous noma ye-Myeloid : Ithinta amangqamuzana e-myeloid, anesibopho sokukhiqiza amangqamuzana abomvu egazi, ama-platelet, kanye namangqamuzana athile amhlophe egazi.
• I-lymphocytic leukemia : Ithinta amangqamuzana e-lymphoid, abalulekile ohlelweni lwakho lokuzivikela komzimba.

Izinhlobo ezine eziyinhloko ze-leukemia

Uma kuhlanganiswa lezi zigaba, kunezinhlobo ezine eziyinhloko:

1. I-Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (YONKE) : Uhlobo oluvame kakhulu ezinganeni nakubantu abadala abasebasha (kuze kube yiminyaka engu-39), yize lungathinta noma yiliphi iqembu leminyaka.

2. I-Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) : Uhlobo oluvame kakhulu kubantu abadala, ikakhulukazi labo abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-65, yize lungenzeka nasezinganeni.

3. I-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) : Uhlobo oluhlala njalo oluvame kakhulu kubantu abadala (ikakhulukazi labo abaneminyaka engaphezu kuka-65). Kungathatha iminyaka ukuthi izimpawu zibonakale.

4. I-Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) : Ivame kakhulu kubantu abadala (ikakhulukazi abangaphezu kweminyaka engu-65), yize ingenzeka kunoma yimuphi umuntu omdala. Ayivamile ezinganeni futhi ingathatha iminyaka ukuba nezimpawu.

Ivame kangakanani i-leukemia?

Izibalo zikhomba ukuthi i-leukemia iphakathi kwezinhlobo eziyishumi zomdlavuza ezivame kakhulu. Nakuba noma ubani engaba nayo, amaqembu athile abhekene nengozi enkulu:

• Abantu abaneminyaka engu-65 kuya ku-74.
• Abesilisa.
• Izinhlanga ezithile.

Abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi i-leukemia iyisifo sobuntwana kuphela. Kodwa-ke, izinhlobo eziningi empeleni zivame kakhulu kubantu abadala. Nakuba i-leukemia ingavamile ezinganeni, isalokhu ingumdlavuza ovame kakhulu ukutholakala ezinganeni nakubantu abadala abasebasha.

Ziyini izimpawu ze-leukemia?

Izimpawu ze-leukemia zincike ohlotsheni oluthile onalo. Isibonelo, uma une-leukemia engapheli, ungase ungabi nazo izimpawu ezibalulekile ezigabeni zokuqala.

Nazi ezinye zezimpawu ezivamile ze-leukemia:

• Ukukhathala okuqhubekayo noma ukuzizwa ukhathele kalula.
• Umkhuhlane noma ukujuluka ebusuku .
• Ukutheleleka okuvamile.
• Ukuphelelwa umoya .
• Isikhumba esimpunga .
• Ukwehlisa isisindo okungachazeki.
• Ubuhlungu noma ukuqaqamba kwamathambo noma amalunga uma kuthintwa.
• Umuzwa wobuhlungu noma ukugcwala ngaphansi kwezimbambo zakho zesobunxele.
• Ama-lymph node avuvukele entanyeni yakho, emakhwapheni, noma embotsheni, noma esibindini esikhulu.
• Ukuphuka nokuphuma kwegazi okulula , njengokuphuma kwegazi ekhaleni, ukuphuma kwegazi ezinsinini, amabala amancane abomvu esikhumbeni sakho (i-petechiae), noma amabala ansomi/amnyama angachazeki.

Uma unezinye zalezi zimpawu, akusho ukuthi une-leukemia. Kodwa-ke, uma uhlangabezana nalezi zimpawu, kubalulekile ukuthi ubonane nodokotela ukuze ahlolwe ngochwepheshe.

Yini ebangela i-leukemia?

I-leukemia ngokuvamile iqala ngokuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo ku-DNA yeseli elilodwa ngaphakathi komnkantsha wakho. I-DNA isebenza njengeqoqo lemiyalelo, itshela iseli ukuthi likhule nini, lisebenze kanjani, nokuthi life nini.

Ngenxa yalolu guquko, amangqamuzana e-leukemia aqala ukwanda ngokungalawuleki. Wonke amangqamuzana adalwe kulelo seli lokuqala eliguquliwe azothwala i-DNA efanayo engajwayelekile.

Nakuba ososayensi bengakazi kahle ukuthi kungani lokhu kuguquka kwenzeka, bathole izinguquko ezithile ezivamile ezihlobene nezinhlobo ezahlukene ze-leukemia.

Ubani osengozini enkulu yokuthola i-leukemia?

Noma ubani angaba ne-leukemia, kodwa ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi izici ezithile zingandisa ingozi yakho, okuhlanganisa:

• Ukwelashwa komdlavuza ngaphambilini : Uma uke wathola ukwelashwa okufana nokwelashwa ngemisebe noma i-chemotherapy, ungase ube nengozi enkulu yokuthola izinhlobo ezithile ze-leukemia.
• Ukubhema : Uma ubhema noma ubhema intuthu ebhemayo, ingozi yakho yokuthola i-acute myeloid leukemia (AML) iyanda.
• Ukuchayeka kumakhemikhali ezimboni : Amakhemikhali anjenge-benzene ne-formaldehyde aziwa ngokuthi abangela umdlavuza. Lawa angatholakala ezintweni zokwakha nasezintweni zasekhaya ezahlukahlukene (ipulasitiki, irabha, upende, izibulala-zinambuzane, imithi, insipho, insipho, kanye nama-shampoo).
• Izimo ezithile zofuzo : Izifo zofuzo ezifana ne-Neurofibromatosis, i-Klinefelter syndrome, i-Schwachman-Diamond syndrome, kanye ne-Down syndrome zingandisa ingozi yakho.
• Umlando womndeni : Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ezinye izinhlobo ze-leukemia zingase zibe nengxenye yofuzo. Kodwa-ke, ukuba nelungu lomndeni eline-leukemia akusho ukuthi uzoyithola nakanjani. Yazisa udokotela wakho njalo uma kukhona umlando womdlavuza noma izifo zofuzo emndenini wakho; bangase batuse ukuhlolwa kofuzo ukuze bahlole ubungozi bakho.

I-leukemia itholakala kanjani?

Ngokuvamile, ukuhlolwa kwegazi okuvamile kunganikeza udokotela wakho inkomba yokuqala yokuthi ungaba nesifo esibi noma esingamahlalakhona, okuholela ocwaningweni olwengeziwe. Uma ubhekene nezimpawu, udokotela wakho cishe uzoncoma uchungechunge lwezivivinyo.

Izinqubo zokuxilonga zingafaka:

• Ukuhlolwa ngokomzimba : Udokotela wakho uzoxoxa ngezimpawu zakho futhi akuhlole ukuze athole izimpawu ezifana nokuvuvukala kwama-lymph node, ukubanda kwesibindi noma ukuvuvukala, noma ukuphuma kwegazi ezinsinini zakho. Bazohlola nesikhumba sakho ukuze bahlole ukuqubuka, njenge-petechiae.
• Ukubalwa Kwegazi Okuphelele (i-CBC) : Lokhu kuhlolwa kuvumela udokotela wakho ukuthi ahlole inani lamaseli akho abomvu egazi, amaseli amhlophe egazi, kanye nama-platelet. Uma une-leukemia, inani lamaseli akho amhlophe egazi livame ukuba phezulu kakhulu kunokujwayelekile.
• Ukuhlolwa kwamaseli egazi : Udokotela wakho angase acele ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe, njenge-flow cytometry noma i-peripheral blood smear, ukuze abheke izimpawu ezithile zamaseli e-leukemia.
• I-Bone marrow biopsy noma i-aspiration : Uma ukubalwa kwegazi lakho kungavamile, udokotela wakho angenza lolu vivinyo. Inaliti ende ifakwa ethanjeni lakho (ngokuvamile ithambo lesinqe) ukuze kuqoqwe isampula yoketshezi. Ilebhu bese ihlola lesi sampula ukuze kutholakale amangqamuzana e-leukemia ukuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa nokunquma iphesenti lamangqamuzana angavamile emnkantsheni wakho.
• Ukuhlolwa kwezithombe kanye nezinye izivivinyo : Uma izimpawu zakho zibonisa ukuthi i-leukemia ithinte amathambo akho, izitho zomzimba, noma izicubu, udokotela wakho angase akucele ukuba kwenziwe i-X-ray yesifuba, i-CT scan, noma i-MRI. Sicela uqaphele ukuthi amangqamuzana e-leukemia ngokwawo awavamile ukubonakala kulezi zivivinyo zezithombe.
• Ukubhoboza i-Lumbar (umpompi womgogodla) : Udokotela wakho angase aqoqe isampula yoketshezi lomgogodla ukuze anqume ukuthi i-leukemia isisabalale yini oketshezini oluzungeze ubuchopho bakho kanye nomgogodla.

Iphathwa kanjani i-leukemia?

Ukwelashwa kwe-leukemia kuncike ohlotsheni onalo, iminyaka yakho, impilo yakho iyonke, nokuthi umdlavuza ususakazekele kwezinye izitho noma izicubu.

Ngokuvamile, eyodwa noma inhlanganisela yalezi zindlela zokwelapha ezilandelayo isetshenziswa yithimba lakho lezokwelapha eNirogi Lanka:

• Ukwelashwa ngamakhemikhali : Lolu uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lokwelashwa nge-leukemia. Lusebenzisa imithi enamandla ukubhubhisa amaseli e-leukemia noma ukuwavimba ukuthi angahlukani. Kuye ngenqubo yakho ethile, ungathola le mithi ngomlomo, ngokuyijova ngemithambo yegazi, noma ngomjovo ngaphansi kwesikhumba. Ngokuvamile, kusetshenziswa inhlanganisela yemithi eminingana ye-chemotherapy ukuqinisekisa umphumela omuhle kakhulu.
• Ukwelashwa nge-immunotherapy (i-biologic therapy) : Lokhu kwelashwa kunika amandla uhlelo lokuzivikela lomzimba wakho—uhlelo lwakho lokuzivikela—ukulwa ngenkuthalo ne-leukemia. Le mithi ekhethekile isiza uhlelo lwakho lokuzivikela ukuthi lubone amangqamuzana omdlavuza ngempumelelo futhi lukhuthaze ukukhiqizwa kwamangqamuzana okuzivikela ukuze luwaqede.
• Ukwelashwa okuqondiwe : Le ndlela isebenzisa imithi eklanyelwe ngqo ukuhlasela izindawo ezisengozini zamaseli e-leukemia, njengeprotheni noma izakhi zofuzo ezithile eziwavumela ukuba adlule amaseli egazi anempilo. Ngokuqondisa lezi zingxenye ezithile, le mithi ingavimba amaseli ukuthi angahlukani, inqamule ukuhlinzekwa kwegazi, noma iwabhubhise ngqo, ngokuvamile ngomonakalo omncane kumaseli anempilo. Izibonelo zifaka phakathi ama-antibodies e-monoclonal kanye nama-tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
• Ukwelashwa ngemisebe : Lokhu kwelashwa kusebenzisa imisebe enamandla aphezulu noma ama-X-ray ukubhubhisa amangqamuzana e-leukemia noma ukuwavimbela ekukhuleni kwawo. Ngesikhathi sokwelashwa, imisebe ingase igxile ngqo ezindaweni ezithile lapho amangqamuzana omdlavuza egxile khona, noma ingase iqondiswe kuwo wonke umzimba, ngezinye izikhathi okusetshenziswa njengokulungiselela ukufakelwa kweseli le-stem.
• Ukufakelwa kweseli le-hematopoietic (ukufakelwa kweseli le-stem noma umongo wethambo) : Kule nqubo, amangqamuzana agulayo, akhiqiza i-leukemia—avame ukusulwa yi-chemotherapy noma imisebe ephezulu—athathelwa indawo ngamaseli amasha aphilile. Lawa maseli angaba ngawakho (aqoqwe ngaphambi kokwelashwa) noma avela kumnikeli. Uma esetshaliwe, lawa maseli aphilile ayanda futhi aqale ukukhiqiza umongo wethambo namaseli egazi ajwayelekile (amangqamuzana egazi abomvu, amangqamuzana egazi amhlophe, nama-platelet).
• Ukwelashwa kwamaseli e-T nge-Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) : Lena indlela yokwelapha ethuthukisiwe. Kuhilela ukuqoqa amaseli akho e-T—uhlobo lweseli lokuzivikela elibalulekile ekulweni nezifo—nokuwasebenzisa ngofuzo elabhorethri ukuze kubonwe futhi kuhlaselwe amaseli akho athile e-leukemia ngaphambi kokuwabuyisela egazini lakho.

Ungase futhi ube nethuba lokubamba iqhaza ezivivinyweni zemitholampilo , ezihlola izindlela zokwelapha umdlavuza zakamuva. Qiniseka ukuthi uxoxa ngezinzuzo nezingozi ezingaba khona zalezo zivivinyo nodokotela wakho.

Yiziphi izigaba zokwelapha i-leukemia?

Kuye ngohlelo lwakho lokwelashwa, uhambo lwakho lungase luhilele indlela eqhubekayo noma luhlukaniswe ngezigaba ezihlukene. Ngokuvamile, ukwelashwa kuhlelwe ngezigaba ezintathu, ngasinye sinomgomo othize:

1. Ukwelashwa ngokungenisa : Umgomo oyinhloko lapha ukubhubhisa amangqamuzana amaningi e-leukemia egazini lakho kanye nasemnkantsheni wamathambo ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze kutholakale ukuxolelwa . Ngesikhathi sokuxolelwa, inani legazi lakho libuyela esimweni esijwayelekile, amangqamuzana e-leukemia aba angabonakali, futhi izimpawu zesifo ziyanyamalala. Ukwelashwa ngokungenisa ngokuvamile kuthatha cishe amasonto amane kuya kwayisithupha.

2. Ukwelashwa kokuhlanganisa (okubizwa nangokuthi ukuqina) : Umgomo walesi sigaba ukuqeda noma yimaphi amangqamuzana e-leukemia asele, angabonakali ukuvimbela umdlavuza ukuthi ungabuyi. Lokhu kwelashwa kuvame ukunikezwa ngemijikelezo engaphezu kwezinyanga ezine kuya kweziyisithupha.

3. Ukwelashwa kokulungisa : Lesi sigaba sihlose ukubhubhisa noma yimaphi amaseli e-leukemia asele okungenzeka ukuthi asindile ezigabeni zangaphambilini, okunciphisa kakhulu ingozi yokubuyela emuva . Lesi sigaba singaqhubeka kuze kube yiminyaka emibili.

Uma i-leukemia ibuye, udokotela wakho uzokuqondisa ngokuqala kabusha noma ukulungisa uhlelo lwakho lokwelashwa.

Iyini imbono elindelekile ngemva kokuxilongwa kwe-leukemia?

Ukunquma isibikezelo esithile kuyinkimbinkimbi, njengoba uhambo lomuntu wonke luhlukile. Umbono wakho uncike ezintweni eziningana ezibalulekile:

• Ukukhubazeka kwezakhi zofuzo noma ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo : Ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo okutholakala ngaphakathi kwamaseli akho e-leukemia ngokuvamile kuyizinkomba ezibaluleke kakhulu zokubikezela kwakho.
• Uhlobo lwe-leukemia : Izinhlobo ezithile ze-leukemia zisabela kangcono ekwelashweni kunezinye.
• Ukubalwa kwamangqamuzana egazi lapho kutholakala ukuthi unalesi sifo : Inani lamangqamuzana e-leukemia akhona lapho utholakala une-leukemia okokuqala lidlala indima.
• Ubudala : Ngokuvamile, iziguli ezisencane zingase zithole imiphumela emihle kakhulu.
• Impilo ejwayelekile : Impilo yakho yonke yomzimba kanye nokuqina komzimba ngesikhathi sokuxilongwa kungathinta ukululama kwakho.
• Impendulo ekwelashweni : Ukuthi usheshe kangakanani ukuthola ukuxolelwa kunikeza inkomba ebalulekile mayelana nokusebenza kahle kokwelashwa kwakho.
• Ukuba khona kwe-leukemia ohlelweni lwezinzwa oluphakathi : Uma kutholakala amangqamuzana e-leukemia oketshezini lwakho lomgogodla, lokhu kudinga ukwelashwa okukhethekile.

Ekugcineni, udokotela wakho eNirogi Lanka ungumuntu ongcono kakhulu ukukusiza uqonde ukuthi lezi zici zisho ukuthini kuwe ngqo. Ungangabazi ukumbuza ngesibikezelo sakho.

Ingabe i-leukemia iyalapheka?

Nakuba igama elithi “ukwelapha” lingasetshenziswa kaningi uma kukhulunywa nge-leukemia, iziguli eziningi ziphumelela ekutholeni ukuphulukiswa kwesikhathi eside . Ukwelapha kungasho ukuthi umdlavuza usuphelile unomphela futhi ngeke uphinde ubuye; nokho, uma ubheka uhlobo lwe-leukemia, odokotela bavame ukugxila ekungatholakalini kwalesi sifo okuqhubekayo.

Ukuphumula kwesikhathi eside kusho ukuthi azikho izimpawu zomdlavuza ezitholakalayo, ngokwelashwa okuqhubekayo noma ngaphandle. Lokhu kuphumula kungahlala iminyaka, futhi kwabaningi, i-leukemia ingase ingaphinde ibuye. Uma iphinda ibuye, ithimba lakho lezokwelapha lizobe likulungele ukuncoma izindlela ezintsha zokwelapha ukuze liphinde lilawule.

Umuntu ongcono kakhulu ongaxoxa ngesimo sakho esithile yithimba lakho lezokunakekelwa kwempilo; bazoqapha intuthuko yakho eduze futhi bahlele uhlelo lwakho lokunakekelwa ngokwezidingo zakho.

Yimiphi imibuzo okufanele uyibuze udokotela wakho?

Ulwazi luyithuluzi elinamandla. Ukuqonda ukuxilongwa kwakho kanye nezinketho zokwelashwa kuzokusiza uzizwe ulawula kakhudlwana. Kunconywa kakhulu ukuthi ubhale phansi imibuzo yakho ngaphambi kwama-aphoyintimenti, futhi uma kungenzeka, ulethe umngane noma ilungu lomndeni ukuze likusekele.

Eminye imibuzo okufanele uyicabangele:

• Uhlobo luni oluthile lwe-leukemia enginalo, futhi luvela kuluphi uhlobo lweseli? Ingabe lolu uhlobo olunolaka noma olukhula kancane?
