bone marrow aspiration, blood types, anemia, secondary aplastic, acquired aplastic anemia, secondary aplastic anemia, the bone marrow to form enough blood cells, all blood cell types, secondary aplastic anemia results from injury to stem cells, normal stem cells divide, differentiate into all blood cell types, stem cells, injured, reduction in red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, chemotherapy, drug therapy to suppress the immune system, radiation therapy, toxins benzene, arsenic, drugs, pregnancy, congenital disorders, idiopathic aplastic anemia, disease acute, chronic, gets worse, the cause is removed, a low red blood cell count, anemia, leads to fatigue, weakness, a low white blood cell count, leukopenia, leads to frequent, severe infections, a low platelet count, thrombocytopenia, easy bruising, nose bleeds, bleeding, the gums, bleeding of internal organs, symptoms include shortness of breath on exertion, rapid heart rate, rash, a complete blood count, cbc, low hematocrit, hemoglobin levels, anemia, reticulocyte count is low, platelet count is low, white blood cell count is low, a bone marrow biopsy shows very few cells, in secondary aplastic anemia, removal, the causative agent is critical, lead to recovery, mild cases of aplastic anemia treated, supportive care, require no treatment, blood transfusions, platelet transfusions, help correct the abnormal blood counts, relieve some symptoms, in moderate cases, severe aplastic anemia, shows up, a very low blood-cell count, life-threatening condition, a bone marrow transplant is indicated, younger patients, a severe case, 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, cytoxan, cyclophosphamide, corticosteroids, androgens have also been used, untreated aplastic anemia, illness that leads to rapid death, bone marrow transplantation has been successful in young people, a long-term survival rate of 80%, older people have a survival rate of 40, 70%, infection, cerebral hemorrhage, death, bleeding, infectious complications of bone marrow transplant, rejection of bone marrow graft, severe reaction to antithymocyte globulin, atg, bleeding occurs, no reason, secondary aplastic anemia an unavoidable consequence of treatments chemotherapy, avoid toxins benzene, arsenic.
