Acquired Aplastic Anemia treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Acquired aplastic anemia is a disorder in which the bone marrow stops producing enough blood cells, which reduces the red blood cells, the white blood cells, and the platelets. It is not hereditary, but develops over the course of life due to various causes.

Common symptoms:

• Tiredness and paleness from the lack of red blood cells
• Repeated infections from the drop in defenses
• Bruising or easy bleeding from decreased platelets

Who treats it? The hematologist is the specialist who evaluates and follows up on this condition; in minors the pediatric hematologist is involved. If these signs appear persistently, it is advisable to place them in the hands of a professional who guides the proper evaluation.
