Mast cell leukaemia - what does this mean
Mast cell leukaemia is a rare and aggressive type of leukaemia that is characterized by the accumulation of immature mast cells in the bone marrow, spleen, and other organs. it is caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the uncontrolled growth of mast cells, which can interfere with the production of normal blood cells and lead to a range of symptoms.
What happens during the disease - mast cell leukaemia
Mast cell leukaemia is caused by an accumulation of abnormal mast cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. these abnormal mast cells are the result of a genetic mutation that leads to an increase in the number of mast cells, which then leads to the production of excessive amounts of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators. this can cause organ damage, increased susceptibility to infections, and can lead to the formation of tumours.
