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.
- If left untreated, most of the patients with hairy cell leukemia will gradually develop anemia, recurrent infections, and bleeding.
Complications
- Common complications of hairy cell leukemia include:
- 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%.
- Poor prognostic factors for hairy cell leukemia patients include old age, female gender, and African American race.[1]
- The table below lists prognostic factors for hairy cell leukemia patients:[2]
| Prognostic Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Age | |
| Gender |
|
| Race |
|
| Infections | |
| Hepatomegaly |
|
| Hemoglobin concentration |
|
| Reticulocyte count |
|
| Neutrophil count |
|
