==Overview==
==Overview==
Most patients with [[hairy cell leukemia]] are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. If left untreated, most of the patients with [[hairy cell leukemia]] will gradually develop [[anemia]], recurrent infections, and [[bleeding]]. The complications of hairy cell leukemia are mainly due to [[bone marrow failure]].
==Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis==
=== Natural History ===
* Most patients with [[hairy cell leukemia]] are [[asymptomatic]] at the time of [[diagnosis]].<ref name="MatutesWotherspoon2001">{{cite journal|last1=Matutes|first1=E|last2=Wotherspoon|first2=A|last3=Brito-Babapulle|first3=V|last4=Catovsky|first4=D|title=The natural history and clinico-pathological features of the variant form of hairy cell leukemia|journal=Leukemia|volume=15|issue=1|year=2001|pages=184–186|issn=0887-6924|doi=10.1038/sj.leu.2401999}}</ref>
* If left untreated, most of the patients with [[hairy cell leukemia]] will gradually develop the following: 
** [[Anemia]]
** Recurrent [[infections]] 
** [[Bleeding]]
=== Complications ===
* Common [[complications]] of [[hairy cell leukemia]] include:<ref name="MatutesWotherspoon20012">{{cite journal|last1=Matutes|first1=E|last2=Wotherspoon|first2=A|last3=Brito-Babapulle|first3=V|last4=Catovsky|first4=D|title=The natural history and clinico-pathological features of the variant form of hairy cell leukemia|journal=Leukemia|volume=15|issue=1|year=2001|pages=184–186|issn=0887-6924|doi=10.1038/sj.leu.2401999}}</ref>
** [[Anemia]]
** Recurrent [[infections]]
** Major recurrent [[bleeding]]
** [[Splenic rupture]]
=== Prognosis ===
* [[Prognosis]] is generally good, and the 5-year [[survival rate]] of patients with [[chronic lymphocytic leukemia]] is approximately 90%.<ref name="MatutesWotherspoon20013">{{cite journal|last1=Matutes|first1=E|last2=Wotherspoon|first2=A|last3=Brito-Babapulle|first3=V|last4=Catovsky|first4=D|title=The natural history and clinico-pathological features of the variant form of hairy cell leukemia|journal=Leukemia|volume=15|issue=1|year=2001|pages=184–186|issn=0887-6924|doi=10.1038/sj.leu.2401999}}</ref>
