Approximately 90 percent of people with Fanconi anemia have impaired bone marrow function that leads to a decrease in the production of all blood cells (aplastic anemia). (beds.ac.uk)
Acquired aplastic anemia is a rare, serious blood disorder, due to failure of the bone marrow failure to produce blood cells. (rarediseases.org)
In acquired aplastic anemia, an almost complete absence of hematopoietic stem cells results in low levels of red and white blood cells and platelets (pancytopenia). (rarediseases.org)
Although bone marrow failure can occur secondary to other disorders, most aplastic anemia is due to the immune system mistakenly targeting the bone marrow (autoimmunity). (rarediseases.org)
Most of the discussion that follows relates to severe aplastic anemia. (rarediseases.org)
Furthermore, some aplastic anemia that is genetically inherited may, first manifest in adulthood, sometimes without a family history of blood disease. (rarediseases.org)
The symptoms of acquired aplastic anemia occur as a consequence of the bone marrow failing to produce enough blood cells. (rarediseases.org)
Some individuals with acquired aplastic anemia also have another disorder at the same time, called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). (rarediseases.org)
It is believed that PNH arises in the setting of autoimmune acquired aplastic anemia and bone marrow failure. (rarediseases.org)
Individuals affected with acquired aplastic anemia are also at risk that it will evolve into another similar disorder known as myelodysplasia. (rarediseases.org)
