Decreased urine production

Lymph nodes are blocking the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder

Progressive swelling of the legs

Lymph vessels in the groin or abdomen are blocked producing lymphedema.

Weight loss

One or more of the following occurs:

• Bleeding into the digestive tract

• Destruction of red blood cells by an enlarged spleen or by abnormal antibodies

• Inability of the bone marrow to produce enough red blood cells because it is damaged by treatment (drugs or radiation therapy)

Susceptibility to severe bacterial infections

Lymphoma cells are invading the bone marrow and lymph nodes, reducing antibody production.
