Aplastic Anemia Aplastic anemia, which primarily affects young people, is a disease in which the stem cells disappear from the bone marrow. Aplastic anemia has a high mortality rate and, even with treatment, quality of life is poor. A lack of stem cells in the bone marrow inhibits the production of blood cells. As a result, patients with this disease are dependent on weekly blood transfusions that require frequent visits to the physician's offices. Both Thymoglobulin and Lymphoglobuline are approved in certain countries outside of the U.S. for treatment of aplastic anemia, and we believe that the majority of sales of Lymphoglobuline in Japan are for the treatment of aplastic anemia. Current treatments for severe aplastic anemia include immunosuppressants and, if necessary, bone marrow transplantation.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Aplastic anemia Definition Aplastic anemia is a disorder in which the bone marrow greatly decreases or stops production of blood cells. Description The bone marrow (soft tissue which is located within the hard outer shell of the bones) is responsible for the production of all the types of blood cells. The mature forms of these cells include red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body; white blood cells, which fight infection; and platelets, which are involved in clotting. In aplastic anemia, the basic structure of the marrow becomes abnormal, and those cells responsible for generating blood cells (hematopoietic cells) are greatly decreased in number or absent. These hematopoietic cells are replaced by large quantities of fat. Yearly, aplastic anemia strikes about 5-10 people in every one million. Although aplastic anemia strikes both males and females of all ages, there are two age groups that have an increased risk. Both young adults (between 15-30 years of age) and the elderly (over the age of 60) have higher rates of aplastic anemia than the general population. While the disorder occurs worldwide, young adults in Asia have a higher disease rate than do populations in North America and Europe. Aplastic anemia falls into three basic categories, based on the origin of its cause: idiopathic, acquired, and hereditary.

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background Hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia is a variant of aplastic anemia in which aplastic anemia follows an acute attack of hepatitis. The aplastic anemia, however, is often fatal if untreated. To characterize the illness, investigate the role of hepatitis viruses, and assess the response to immunosuppressive treatment, we studied patients with the syndrome who were referred to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Methods Standard hematologic and biochemical tests and measurements of bone marrow cellularity were used to monitor the patients' response to treatment. Serum was assayed for antibodies and antigens related to hepatitis A, B, and C viruses and for the RNA of hepatitis C and GB virus C by the polymerase chain reaction.

I am manic-depressive. In June, my doctor put me on Depakote to stabilize the mood swings. Over a long period of time without any side effects, my blood tests started to show that I was losing red and white blood cells. I was taken off of Depakote and my cell count went back up. With my disorder, I obviously can't stay off the Depakote, so I am being put on lithium. Is there anything else I can do? I really want to start taking my Depakote again, but my doctor is too nervous. A.

74. Aplastic Anemia And Viral Hepatitis aplastic anemia and viral hepatitis Prof. Earlier reports implicatedhepatitis NonA,NonB in hepatitis induced aplastic anemia (4;20). http://www.ikp.unibe.ch/lab2/aplan.html

Aplastic anemia and viral hepatitis Prof. J. Reichen In ten patients referred to the NIH for supposed viral hepatitis induced aplastic anemia, serologic tests against hepatitis A, B and C were negative; 3 had hepatitis G; the authors conclude that it is immune-mediated and probably not related to the known hepatitis viruses (1). In a prospective study of 5500 children with viral hepatitis aplastic anemia was observed in 4 (0.07 %); none had hepatitis A or B (19). Hepatitis A. Case reports, mostly in children (7). A prospective case control study from Thailand found the presence of IgG but not IgM to confer a relative risk of 2.9 for the development of aplastic anemia; they conclude that hepatitis A is a surrogate marker for an unknown enteric pathogen (10). In the prospective Swedish study, hepatitis A was never implicated (19). Hepatitis B: Up to 1988 four case reports (14). However, in the prospective Swedish study hepatitis B was never implicated (19). Hepatitis C: Most likely not associated. Although there is a high prevalence of anti-HCV (17/90) in patients with aplastic anemia this increases with duration and number of transfusions and is therefore probably transfusion related (16). In one case, autoimmune phenomena associated with hepatitis C (anti-LKM positive) was implicated (18). Hepatitis G : Case reports have implicated hepatitis G because of the temporal association (3;6;11;12). Prevalence about 1.5 % in blood donors; same prevalence in patients with aplastic anemia (26.3 %) as in multitransfused controls (23.1 %), therefore probably not implicated (2).

Alternative Names: Anemia - secondary aplastic; Acquired aplastic anemia Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Secondary aplastic anemia results from injury to stem cells. Normal stem cells divide and differentiate into all blood cell types. Thus, when stem cells are injured, there is a reduction in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This condition can be caused by chemotherapy, drug therapy to suppress the immune system, radiation therapy, toxins such as benzene or arsenic, drugs, pregnancy, and congenital disorders. When the cause is unknown, it is then referred to as idiopathic aplastic anemia The disease may be acute or chronic and is usually gets worse unless the cause is removed.
