Aplastic anemia occurs when the bone marrow produces too few of all types of blood cells: red cells, white cells, and platelets. A reduced number of red blood cells causes the hemoglobin (a type of protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues of the body) to drop. A reduced number of white blood cells causes the patient to be susceptible to infection. A reduced number of platelets can cause the blood not to clot as easily. What causes aplastic anemia?

Aplastic Anemia Aplastic anemia is a serious condition defined as pancytopenia with an "empty" bone marrow (hypoplastic or aplastic). The anemia is only one part of the spectrum of sequelae that result from this, and is not as clinically significant as the concomitant neutropenia, lymphopenia and thrombocytopenia. There are an estimated 2-4 million cases per year of aplastic anemia, and the incidence occurs in three peaks: 2-5 years, 20-25 years and 55-60 years. Other causes of pancytopenia include: malignancy (leukemia or other cancer replacing bone marrow), megaloblastic hematopoiesis, viral infection, paroxysmal nocturnal hematuria and myelodysplastic syndrome. Etiology 70% of aplastic anemia cases are idiopathic, but other known causes are: Hereditary: Fanconi anemia Dyskeratosis congenital Schwachman-Diamond syndrome Amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia Acquired: Direct stem cell destruction Drugs Toxic chemicals Infection (viral, hepatitis) Immune disorders Collagen vascular diseases Clinical features Anemia: fatigue and pallor Thrombocytopenia: unexplained or excessive bleeding, easy bruising

Children also may exhibit abnormal bleeding including multiple bruises, nosebleeds, bleeding gums and small hemorrhages under the skin as well as infection, especially fever.

Aplastic anemia is a rare but extremely serious disorder that results from the unexplained failure of the bone marrow to produce enough blood cells. Aplastic anemia is not contagious. It can affect anyone at any age. Symptoms of Aplastic Anemia? Some common symptoms are: unexplained infections unexpected bleeding fatigue What Causes Aplastic Anemia? Aplastic anemia has been clearly linked to radiation, environmental toxins, insecticides, and drugs. Benzene-based compounds, airplane glue, and drugs such as chloramphenicol have been linked to aplastic anemia. In some individuals, aplastic anemia is believed to be caused by a virus. How is Aplastic Anemia Diagnosed? If your doctor believes you may have aplastic anemia, he will order blood and bone marrow tests. The blood is tested for very low levels of all three blood cells. The bone marrow will be tested to determine the levels of cells that are responsible for producing blood cells. Can Aplastic Anemia be treated?

51. Aplastic Anemia - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow does not produce enough, Treating aplastic anemia involves suppression of the immune system, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aplastic_anemia

Aplastic anemia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow does not produce enough, or any, new cells to replenish the blood cells. One known cause is an autoimmune disorder , where the white blood cells attack the bone marrow. In many cases, the etiology is impossible to determine, but aplastic anemia is sometimes associated with exposure to substances such as benzene or to the use of certain drugs, including chloramphenicol and phenylbutazone The term 'aplastic' refers to the inability of the marrow to function properly. Anemia is the condition of having fewer blood cells than normal, or fewer than needed to function properly. Typically, anemia refers to low red blood cell counts, but aplastic anemia patients have lower counts on all three blood cell types: red blood cells white blood cells , and platelets Contents Signs and symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Follow-up ... edit Signs and symptoms Anemia with malaise pallor and associated symptoms Thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts), leading to increased risk of hemorrhage and bruising Neutropenia edit Diagnosis The diagnosis can only be made on bone marrow biopsy .

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Aplastic anemia Definition Aplastic anemia is a disorder in which the bone marrow greatly decreases or stops production of blood cells. Description The bone marrow (soft tissue which is located within the hard outer shell of the bones) is responsible for the production of all the types of blood cells. The mature forms of these cells include red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body; white blood cells, which fight infection; and platelets, which are involved in clotting. In aplastic anemia, the basic structure of the marrow becomes abnormal, and those cells responsible for generating blood cells (hematopoietic cells) are greatly decreased in number or absent. These hematopoietic cells are replaced by large quantities of fat. Yearly, aplastic anemia strikes about 5-10 people in every one million. Although aplastic anemia strikes both males and females of all ages, there are two age groups that have an increased risk. Both young adults (between 15-30 years of age) and the elderly (over the age of 60) have higher rates of aplastic anemia than the general population. While the disorder occurs worldwide, young adults in Asia have a higher disease rate than do populations in North America and Europe. Aplastic anemia falls into three basic categories, based on the origin of its cause: idiopathic, acquired, and hereditary.

Anemias Topics [General] Anemias Caused By Blood Loss Anemias Caused By Deficient Erythropoiesis Anemias Caused By Excessive Hemolysis Anemias Caused By Deficient Erythropoiesis MICROCYTIC ANEMIAS Deficient or defective heme or globin synthesis produces a microcytic RBC population. However, early changes may be minimal. Differential diagnosis (see Table 127-4 ) includes Fe-deficiency, Fe-transport-deficiency, and Fe-utilization anemias, anemia of chronic disease, and the thalassemias (see Anemias Caused by Defective Hemoglobin Synthesis, below). The term microcytic anemia has replaced hypochromic-microcytic anemia because the degree of hypochromia varies. Disturbances in Iron Metabolism Fe is distributed in active metabolic and storage pools. Total body Fe is about 3.5 g in healthy adult men and 2.5 g in women; the difference relates to body size and the common absence of a significant storage pool in women. The approximate content in the active pool of an average man is Hb, 2100 mg; myoglobin, 200 mg; tissue (heme and nonheme) enzymes, 150 mg; and transport-Fe compartment, 3 mg. Fe is stored in tissue cells as ferritin (700 mg) and hemosiderin (300 mg). Fe absorption: The average American diet, which contains 6 mg of Fe/kcal of food, is adequate for Fe homeostasis. However, significant variation in bioavailability of dietary Fe markedly alters absorption. Fe absorption is best when food contains heme Fe (meat). Various other food items (eg, vegetable fiber phytates and polyphenols; tea tannates, including phosphoproteins; bran) reduce nonheme Fe absorption. Thus, many food-food interactions reduce bioavailability. Ascorbic acid is the only common food element known to increase nonheme Fe bioavailability.

Chronic disease often leads to anemia, especially in older adults. Conditions such as infections, inflammation, and cancer particularly suppress production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Since the suppression is usually not severe, anemia develops slowly and is evident only after time. Because the bone marrow is unable to use stored iron in the developing red blood cells, this type of anemia is often called iron-reutilization anemia.

Consequently, there is a reduction in all cell types red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets with this type of anemia , which is called pancytopenia. The cause of idiopathic aplastic anemia is unknown, but is thought to be an autoimmune process (the body reacting against its own cells). Causes of other types of aplastic anemia may be chemotherapy radiation therapy toxins , drugs, pregnancy, congenital disorder, or systemic lupus erythematosus Symptoms arise as the consequence of bone marrow failure.
