Abstract

Bone marrow failure Abstract. Bone marrow failure involves a heterogeneous spectrum of rare benign hematological disorders caused by an impaired bone marrow function. Bone marrow failure can be acquired (acquired aplastic anemia) or congenital (inherited bone marrow failures). The disease is clinically characterized by cytopenias of one or more blood cell line (anemia, neutropenia and / or thrombocytopenia), possibly combined with signs of hemolysis and thrombophilia in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria or morphological abnormalities in inherited forms. Due to significant advances in molecular genetic diagnostics, a comprehensive differentiation of an acquired or congenital form is central, since the cause of disease significantly affects the choice of therapy. Standard therapy has changed little in past decades (immunosuppression and / or allogeneic stem cell transplantation), however thrombopoietin receptor agonists just recently showed an improvement of all three blood cell lines in acquired aplastic anemia and are likely to be included in the future treatment algorithms. This article gives an overview of the disease, diagnosis and therapy of this heterogeneous disease group.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
