Bone Marrow Disease/Disorders
Bone marrow disease is a general name for a wide range of disorders that affect the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the bone marrow. It can lead to anemia, an increased risk of infection, and an impaired ability to clot blood. Bone marrow diseases can be caused by genetic disorders, environmental factors, or be acquired from drugs and radiation. Treatment for bone marrow disease includes medications, surgery to remove a portion of the bone marrow, or a bone marrow transplant. Early detection and treatment are important for a positive outcome.
