But did you know it's graded by severity?

Grade 1: Mild Leukopenia

[{"selector":"#anim-5a34559e-b000-4804-bc20-5431d4e8750d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(2.3809523809523836%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-105c83f6-f5e9-4b83-920f-822e803ea1c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bdc906fb-3cf3-4a35-8b6d-a959a4d3a5e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] WBC count: 3000–4000/mm³ Often has no symptoms and may be picked up during routine blood tests.

Grade 2: Moderate Leukopenia

[{"selector":"#anim-93662de5-2a5f-45a0-b447-3d5b98016793 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(2.3809523809523836%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-181c53c7-b824-4e24-8a72-aa0f02ce51ba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e73fd113-8822-4f6f-be83-6e29bca91565","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] WBC count: 2000–2999/mm³ May lead to frequent infections, fatigue, and slower wound healing.

Grade 3: Severe Leukopenia

[{"selector":"#anim-ac0674dc-158e-4d7c-a0bb-e7ea585aaa77 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(2.3809523809523836%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4ef0944-e1b4-44b4-b523-d411452991cd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0838bb46-1a87-42ed-8747-ad1877515e39","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] WBC count: 1000–1999/mm³ High risk of infections; urgent intervention is usually needed.

Grade 4: Very Severe Leukopenia

[{"selector":"#anim-ce5f015f-64ab-4e67-85c4-5362ca41bf68 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(2.3809523809523836%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e6f7aba-49ef-4d2f-a9c1-a2833903e682","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b9773907-9a02-4991-9344-1a59b457e5e8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] WBC count: <1000/mm³ A life-threatening condition with a critically weakened immune system.

Why Grades Matter?

Early diagnosis is key.
