No, it's not the same thing; because leukemia affects white blood cells, not platelets, and white blood cells do not function normally. Blood cancer causes a deficiency in all blood components, including platelets.
Autoimmune diseases are conditions that occur as a result of the immune system's excessive activity, attacking and mistakenly eliminating healthy cells and tissues in the body. Examples include thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis.
It is a chronic disorder resulting from the complete failure of the pancreas to produce insulin, due to the body's immune system attacking and destroying the pancreatic cells (an autoimmune disease). Insulin is a crucial hormone for enhancing the ability of glucose to enter cells and produce energy. Type 1 diabetes causes an elevation in blood glucose levels.
It is a genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce hemoglobin and red blood cells, resulting in a decrease in their numbers, and causing the red blood cells to become extremely small in size.
Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disease (HBS) that is passed from parents to children through genetic inheritance. Genes, which determine the characteristics of the body, are responsible for this condition. Each person has a pair of genes that specify the type of hemoglobin. Sickle cell anemia is entirely different from regular anemia, which occurs due to a deficiency in the hemoglobin levels in the blood.
