White blood cells play a key role in supporting the immune system’s functions, including protecting the body against infections. The improper development of white blood cells due to Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia lowers the immune system’s ability to function efficiently, which causes patients to develop a tendency for repeated infections.

Similarly, the abnormalities associated with the multiplication and maturation of red blood cells affect oxygen transport to the vital organs, resulting in oxygen deprivation at the cellular level. This leads to the development of symptoms such as excessive fatigue and tiredness. The abnormalities affecting the maturation of platelets affect blood clotting and increase the risk of bleeding.
