Aplastic Anemia is a condition when your body stops making enough new blood cells. As a result of the disease, you’ll be fatigued, exhausted, and more susceptible to infections and excessive bleeding, says Dr. Vikas Dua who is one of the Best Aplastic Anemia Doctors In India.

Aplastic Anemia is a rare and serious disorder that can occur at any age. It might happen all of a sudden, or it can happen gradually over time. It can vary from mild to severe. Medication, blood transfusions, or a stem cell transplant, often known as a bone marrow transplant, is used to treat aplastic Anemia.

Causes of Aplastic Anemia

In the bone marrow, stem cells create red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Aplastic Anemia damages stem cells. As a result, the bone marrow is either empty (aplastic) or contains just a few blood cells (hypoplastic)

The most prevalent cause of aplastic Anemia is your immune system harming the stem cells in your bone marrow.

• Radiation and chemotherapy treatments are two more variables that might harm bone marrow and decrease blood cell formation. These cancer-fighting treatments can affect healthy cells, such as bone marrow stem cells, as well as cancer cells. As a temporary side effect, several medications may cause aplastic Anemia.
• Toxic chemical exposure. Aplastic Anemia has been connected to toxic compounds such as those found in herbicides and insecticides, as well as benzene, a component of gasoline. If you prevent recurrent exposure to the substances that caused your sickness, your Anemia may improve.
• The use of certain medications. Aplastic Anemia is caused by some drugs, such as those used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and antibiotics.
• Autoimmune diseases are a kind of autoimmune disease. Your bone marrow stem cells might be included in autoimmune disease in which your immune system attacks healthy cells.
• Infection with the virus Aplastic Anemia can be triggered by viral infections that damage the bone marrow.

Relationships with other uncommon diseases

An uncommon disease called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria affects certain persons with aplastic Anemia, causing red blood cells to break down too quickly. Aplastic Anaemia can develop from this syndrome, or aplastic Anemia can develop into paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Aplastic Anemia is caused by Fanconi’s Anemia, a rare genetic condition. It causes children to be smaller than usual and to be born with birth defects such as undeveloped limbs. Blood tests are used to diagnose the condition.

Risk Factors of Aplastic Anemia

• Aplastic Anemia is an uncommon condition.
• Cancer treatment with high-dose radiation or chemotherapy.
• Toxic chemical exposure.
• Use of some prescription drugs — such as chloramphenicol, which is used to treat bacterial infections, and gold compounds, which are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
• Blood diseases, autoimmune disorders, and severe infections.
• Pregnancy is an uncommon occurrence.

Diagnosis of Aplastic Anemia

• Blood tests.
• Bone marrow biopsy

Treatment of Aplastic Anemia

Aplastic Anemia treatments may involve observation, blood transfusions, stem cell transplants, medicines, or bone marrow transplantation, depending on the severity of your condition and your age. Severe Aplastic Anemia, which causes severe low blood cell counts, is life-threatening and necessitates emergency hospitalization. A hematologist (a doctor who specializes in blood problems) treats children with aplastic Anemia.
