bone marrow aspiration, antibodies, anemia, idiopathic aplastic, idiopathic aplastic anemia, the bone marrow to properly form all types of blood cells, idiopathic aplastic anemia, condition that results from injury, stem cell, a cell, rise to other cell types after it divides, consequently, reduction in all cell types, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, type of anemia, pancytopenia, idiopathic aplastic anemia, thought to be an autoimmune process, body reacting against its own cells, aplastic anemia chemotherapy, radiation therapy, toxins, drugs, pregnancy, congenital disorder, systemic lupus erythematosus, symptoms arise, the consequence of bone marrow failure, low red blood cell count, anemia, leads to fatigue, weakness, low white blood cell count, leukopenia, an increased risk of infection, low platelet count, thrombocytopenia, results in bleeding, of mucus membranes, skin, disease acute, chronic, always progressive, risk factors, unknown, fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath on exertion, rapid heart rate, easy bruising, nose bleeds, bleeding gums, prolonged bleeding, frequent, severe infections, enlarged lymph nodes, rare, low red blood cells, anemia, low white blood cell count, low reticulocyte count, red blood cell precursors, low platelet count, bone marrow biopsy shows few blood cells, mild cases of aplastic anemia, supportive care, blood transfusions, platelet transfusions help correct the abnormal blood counts, relieve some symptoms, severe aplastic anemia, evidenced by very low blood cell counts, life-threatening condition, bone marrow transplant is indicated, severe disease in younger patients, older patients, not have a matched bone marrow donor, antithymocyte globulin, atg, the alternative treatment, atg, horse serum that contains antibodies against human t cells, used in an attempt to suppress the body's immune system, allowing the bone marrow to resume its blood cell generating function, medications to suppress the immune system used, cyclosporine, untreated aplastic anemia, illness that leads to rapid death, bone marrow transplantation has been successful in young people, long term survival of 80%, older people have a survival rate of 40, 70%, severe infections, bleeding, complications of treatment, graft failure, graft vs, host disease, an autoimmune disease, after bone marrow transplant, patients, have reactions to atg, bleeding occurs, no reason, bleeding is difficult to stop, frequent infections, unusual fatigue, no known prevention, idiopathic aplastic anemia.
