What is APLASTIC ANEMIA?Whether it can quire?

Answer 1

Aplastic anemia is a very serious condition that occurs when there's a marked reduction in the number of stem cells or absence of these cells. Aplastic anemia can be inherited, can occur without apparent cause, or can occur when the bone marrow is injured by medications, radiation, chemotherapy or infection.

Answer 2

Aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow does not produce enough, or any, new cells to replenish the blood cells.

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.

Cure
Treating aplastic anemia involves suppression of the immune system, an effect achieved by daily medicine intake, or, in more severe cases, a bone marrow transplant, a curing but risky procedure. Bone marrow transplant replaces the old bone marrow cells with new ones from a donor, giving the patient a new immune system. There is a risk that the newly created white blood cells may attack the rest of the body ("graft-versus-host disease").

Medical therapy of aplastic anemia often includes a short course of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG or anti-lymphocyte globulin) and several months of treatment with ciclosporin to modulate the immune system. Mild chemotherapy with agents such as cyclophosphamide and vincristine may also be effective. Antibodies therapy, such as ATG, targets T-cells, which are believed to attack the bone marrow. Steroids are generally ineffective.

Answer 3

As the other person said, your body is not making enough blood cells to keep you in perfect shape. Which can cause things such as tiredness, pale skin, and other symptoms. And it is true Usually all three (red, white, and platelets) are low. But not all the time. this doesn't mean that you can't have a normal life. I have had this since age 4 ( now 26) and have had a pretty normal life. It was not hereditary to me, but now i have to get my 3 yr old son tested every 6 months. And my case is not typical, my platelets are fine. Right now I am not on ANY drug therapy, nor did i have a transplant, my body works better if left alone, even if my crit is only a 26. so find out what your body can handle and listen to it because you know it better than any doctors.
