- Aplastic anemia often occurs together with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). (medscape.com)
Immunosuppressive1
- The specific medications administered depend on the choice of therapy and whether it is supportive care only, immunosuppressive therapy, or hematopoietic cell transplantation. (medscape.com)
Umbilical1
- For umbilical cord blood harvest, the cord is clamped after delivery of the baby, and blood is drawn from the cord with a needle and collected in a sterile bag. (msdmanuals.com)
Anti-thymocyt1
- Conclusions Despite reports suggesting differences in biological activity of different anti-thymocyte globulin preparations, rabbit and horse anti-thymocyte globulin appear to have a similar efficacy for up-front treatment of severe aplastic anemia. (haematologica.org)
Hypocellular2
- In aplastic anemia, the specimens are hypocellular. (medscape.com)
- Aspiration samples alone may appear hypocellular because of technical reasons (eg, dilution with peripheral blood), or they may appear hypercellular because of areas of focal residual hematopoiesis. (medscape.com)
Failure syndromes2
- Pretransfusion assessment of HbF levels may help in identifying the cause of aplasia in many cases of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. (medscape.com)
- Increased chromosomal breakage in the presence of DNA cross-linking agents such as diepoxybutane or mitomycin C is observed in cases with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS). (medscape.com)
Platelets4
- White blood cells and platelets are not affected. (merckmanuals.com)
- Thrombopoietin helps control the number of circulating platelets by stimulating the bone marrow to produce megakaryocytes. (merckmanuals.com)
- The hemostatic system consists of platelets, coagulation factors, and the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels. (medscape.com)
- The platelets arise from the fragmentation of the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow and circulate in blood as disc-shaped anucleate particles for 7-10 days. (medscape.com)
