Possible manifestations: With fewer healthy blood cells, fatigue, paleness, a greater tendency to bruising or bleeding, and a predisposition to infections may appear, depending on which cell line is most affected.

When an evaluation is advisable: Detection usually arises from abnormalities observed in blood tests that warrant a more detailed study of the bone marrow.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the professional who studies and follows up on this type of blood and bone marrow disorder. If a test shows persistently abnormal values, it is advisable to put yourself in the hands of this specialist for a thorough evaluation.
