Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Lymphoproliferative disorders are a group of conditions characterized by the excessive production of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. These disorders can arise from various causes, including infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Common examples include lymphoma and leukemia, which can affect the body's ability to fight infections and may lead to other health complications.
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, imaging studies, and sometimes a biopsy of affected tissues. Treatment options vary depending on the specific disorder and may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies. Early detection and management are crucial for improving outcomes in affected individuals.
