✨AML is caused by mutations, genetic abnormalities, or an underlying bone marrow disorder.
🔬Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause DNA mutations that lead to AML.
🔢Genetic abnormalities like Down syndrome and the 15;17 translocation can increase the risk of AML.
🔎Bone marrow disorders like MDS and CML can progress to AML.
⚠️AML can result in a high risk of infections, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.
