Understand what happens when when bone marrow function is depressed

Solutions

Expert Solution

Bone marrow are blood forming stem cells.Yellow bone marrow contain mesenchymal stem cells, also known as marrow stroma cells. They prodduce fat,cartilage and bone

Bone marrow depression is commonly termed as bone marrow suppression.also known as myelotoxicity or myelosuppression

When the bone marrow functions are depressed the following are the signs and symptoms emerging in the patient

Bleeding
Bruising
Hematuria
Malena
digestive problems
extreme tiredness
pale skin
petechiae

In blood investigations Low platelet count,Low white blood cell count,Low red blood cells

It leads to decrease in production of cells responsible forv immunity ,carrying oxygen,and clotting mechanism.

This condition leads to low blood cells causing anemia, body unable to fight against bacteria and viruses due to low immunity spontaneous bleeding due to thrombocytopenia.

If untreated at right time may lead to death
