Secondary Aplastic Anemia treatment in Ciudad Juarez

Secondary aplastic anemia is a disorder in which the bone marrow reduces its capacity to produce blood cells, as a consequence of an identifiable external factor and not of a cause originating in the marrow itself. This decreases the amount of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Common causes: It may be associated with exposure to certain chemical or toxic substances, to some treatments, to viral infections, or to certain underlying diseases that affect the bone marrow.

Possible manifestations:

• Tiredness and paleness from the lack of red blood cells
• Greater tendency to infections
• Bruising or bleeding easily

Whom to see? The one who evaluates and follows up on this condition is the hematologist, a specialist in diseases of the blood and bone marrow. In the face of persistent symptoms of tiredness, repeated infections, or unusual bleeding, it is advisable to seek a professional evaluation without delay.
