All blood cell types are affected. Secondary aplastic anemia is caused by injury to blood stem cells. Normal blood stem cells divide and turn into all blood cell types, mainly white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. When blood stem cells are injured, there is a reduction in all blood cell types. This condition can be caused by: When the cause is unknown, it is referred to as idiopathic aplastic anemia . In about half of all cases, no cause can be found. The disease may be acute or chronic Signs include: Tests may include: It is critical to find out whether secondary aplastic anemia is caused by a medication or exposure. In some cases, removing the exposure can lead to recovery.

When stem cells are damaged, they don't grow into healthy blood cells. The cause of the damage can be acquired or inherited. "Acquired" means you aren't born with the condition, but you develop it. "Inherited" means your parents passed the gene for the condition on to you. Acquired aplastic anemia is more common, and sometimes it's only temporary. Inherited aplastic anemia is rare. In many people who have aplastic anemia, the cause is unknown. Some research suggests that stem cell damage may occur because the body's immune system attacks its own cells by mistake. Many diseases, conditions, and factors can cause aplastic anemia, including: Toxins, such as pesticides, arsenic, and benzene. Radiation and chemotherapy (treatments for cancer). Medicines, such as chloramphenicol (an antibiotic rarely used in the United States).

Aplastic anemia may appear at any age, but is diagnosed more often in children and young adults. The disorder occurs in about 2-6 individuals per million population worldwide. About 20% of individuals develop aplastic anemia as part of an inherited syndrome such as Fanconi anemia dyskeratosis congenita , or Blackfan Diamond anemia . Most individuals (80%) have acquired aplastic anemia, meaning that it was caused by infections such as hepatitis or Epstein-Barr virus, toxic exposure to radiation and chemicals, or drugs such as chloramphenical or phenylbutazone. Research suggests aplastic anemia may be the result of an autoimmune disorder. The symptoms of aplastic anemia come on slowly. The symptoms are related to the low levels of blood cells:

    Extractions: Aplastic anemia, or hypoplastic anemia, results from conditions in which blood cell production in the bone marrow or erythrocyte stem cells are underdeveloped, defective, or absent. There is a great decrease in all blood cells produced in the bone marrow -– red cells (which contain hemoglobin and deliver oxygen throughout the body), white cells (vital for immune protection), and platelets (which help clot the blood during bleeding). Any injury to, or destruction of, all of the blood's formed elements in bone marrow or the bone marrow matrix, causes life-threatening pancytopenia (anemia, granulocytopenia, or thrombocytopenia) and results from the decreased functional capacity of a hypoplastic, fatty bone marrow. These disorders generally produce bleeding or infection, particularly when they stem from toxins or infections. Many disease processes interfere temporarily or permanently with the viability of the pluripotential stem cell. Reduction in their numbers or their ability to become committed stem cells causes a reduction in the formation and development of blood cells (hematopoiesis). If all the cell lines are affected, all cellular components of circulating blood are reduced, resulting in the abnormal depression of all the blood elements (pancytopenia). If only the erythrocyte stem cells are affected, the condition in the marrow is termed "pure red cell aplasia" but in the circulation, it is called "aplastic anemia." Pure red cell aplasia has many possible causes: infiltrative disorders of the bone marrow (myelofibrosis, leukemia, myeloma, or carcinoma); autoimmune diseases; renal failure; splenic dysfunction; cobalamin or folate deficiency; infection; and exposure to radiation, drugs, and toxins. The exact mechanism that halts erythropoiesis is not known, but two theories have been proposed.

Hemorrhages and other life-threatening disorders may accompany aplastic anemia; a bone marrow transplant is the only current effective treatment. Aplastic anemia patients who do not receive a bone marrow transplant may go on to develop myelodysplasia which, in turn, can progress to leukemia. Treatment for Aplastic Anemia Although bone marrow transplant is the treatment of choice for aplastic anemia, treatment depends upon the patient's age, the severity of the disease and the availability of a matched donor.

This results from underproduction of peripheral blood elements due to bone marrow failure. Aplastic anemia develops before age 30-40 in patients who are predisposed due to a congenital chromosomal abnormality such as Fanconi's anemia or dyskeratosis congenita. Acquired aplastic anemia may be caused by toxic chemicals, radiation, or by idiosyncratic reactions to medications or infections. However, in over 50% of cases there is no identifiable cause and the condition is then referred to as idiopathic aplastic anemia. Patients with aplastic anemia generally present with symptoms of bleeding or bruising due to the thrombocytopenia (low platelets), tiredness or pallor due to the anemia (low hemoglobin), or infection due to the neutropenia (low white blood cell count). A complete blood count and reticulocyte count usually show depression of all blood elements (pancytopenia). The peripheral blood smear shows no abnormal cells. The diagnosis is confirmed by a bone marrow biopsy with an assessment of cellularity. The bone marrow is also evaluated for the degree of maturation of all cell lines. Aplastic anemia is usually categorized as severe if, in addition to a hypocellular bone marrow for age, two of the three following criteria are present: a platelet count of less than 20,000/mm3, a corrected reticulocyte count of less than 1%, and a granulocyte or absolute neutrophil count [ANC = total white count x (segs + bands)] of less than 500/mm3. Patients With pancytopenia, but not severe enough to meet the above criteria, have mild or moderate aplastic anemia. Very severe aplastic anemia exists if the ANC or granulocyte count is less than 200/mm3.

With aplastic anemia, the patient's bone marrow is usually found to be hypoplastic , meaning there are few, if any, functioning stem cells. This results in abnormally low numbers of red cells, white cells, and platelets in the bloodstream. The name "aplastic anemia" comes from the words aplasia , the condition in which cells fail to develop, and anemia , a shortage of red blood cells. Aplastic anemia is generally thought to be the result of the patient's own immune system reacting against the bone marrow, interfering with its ability to make blood cells. Aplastic anemia can also occur when the bone marrow is damaged by chemotherapy, some medications, or exposure to certain toxic substances. Aplastic anemia: is a rare disease, with about 600 to 900 new diagnoses each year in the U.S. (2 to 3 people per million). Aplastic anemia is two to three times more common in Asian countries than in the U.S. and Europe, with about 6,000 to 7,000 new diagnoses reported annually worldwide.

    Extractions: Ask an Expert Anemia - idiopathic aplastic Idiopathic aplastic anemia is failure of the bone marrow to properly make blood cells. See also: Bone marrow is the soft tissue in the center of bones. It helps form blood cells. Aplastic anemia results from injury to the blood stem cell, a cell that develops into other blood cell types. The injury causes a reduction in the number of every type of blood cell in the body red cells, white cells, and platelets. Low numbers of red cells, white cells, and platelets is a condition called pancytopenia. Idiopathic means the cause is unknown. However, idiopathic aplastic anemia is thought to occur when the body reacts against its own cells. This is called an autoimmune disorder.
