Researchers have showed that if chemotherapy is undertaken along with the help of steroids then it may reduce the complications during the treatment. Sources have reported that steroids can be prescribed along with the treatment of CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia).

Patients who were administered with doses of steroids showed a significant reduction in sickness and tiredness during chemotherapy.

Steroids (prednisolone, dexamethasone) are often prescribed along with chemotherapy. As well as treating the CLL, they help to reduce chemotherapy-related sickness and tiredness. Steroids may also be given if your red blood cell count falls very quickly. This happens when your red blood cells are destroyed by proteins in the bloodstream and the spleen, and is called haemolysis.

If you develop haemolysis, you may become anaemic quite quickly. This is known as haemolytic anaemia. Symptoms include breathlessness, tiredness, a yellowish tinge to the whites of your eyes and dark-coloured urine. If you suddenly notice that you are very tired or breathless, contact the hospital at once. You may need to have a blood test, and possibly treatment.

Since the red blood cells count starts decreasing, haemolysis takes place and one can see a yellowish tinge to the whites of eyes and dark-colored urine.

These lymphocytes start performing their functions abnormally. Many complications like coagulation, deficiency of the immune system, swollen lymph nodes, and many other conditions start interfering with the production of other blood cells that are necessary for the normal functioning of the blood.

Steroids used for treating CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) and hemolytic anemia are termed as prednisolone and dexamethasone.
