Aplastic Anemia is a rare but serious blood disorder in which the bone marrow fails to produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This condition leaves individuals fatigued, vulnerable to infections, and at risk of uncontrolled bleeding. It can develop suddenly or gradually and may be life-threatening if untreated.
Fortunately, with modern medical advancements like immunosuppressive therapy and stem cell transplants, many patients can recover and lead normal lives. India has become a key destination for world-class treatment of aplastic anemia at affordable costs.
Blood disorders refer to conditions that affect the blood’s ability to function properly. Aplastic anemia is a type of bone marrow failure where stem cells in the marrow are damaged, leading to a shortage of all types of blood cells.
Type | Description |
Acquired Aplastic Anemia | Caused by factors like autoimmune diseases, toxins, infections, or medications |
Inherited Aplastic Anemia | Genetic disorders such as Fanconi anemia or Shwachman-Diamond syndrome |
Severe Aplastic Anemia | Critically low blood counts requiring immediate intervention |
Moderate Aplastic Anemia | Milder form; may be monitored or treated with medication |
Type of Transplant | Description | Key Points |
Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant | Stem cells from a healthy donor used to replace damaged marrow. | Curative for many patients, especially young ones. |
Matched Sibling Donor Transplant | Stem cells from a genetically matched sibling. | Preferred option if available. |
Matched Unrelated Donor Transplant | Stem cells from a volunteer donor via a registry. | Used when a sibling match is not available. |
Blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, and genetic testing help confirm the diagnosis and severity.
Medications like ATG (anti-thymocyte globulin) and cyclosporine may be used to suppress the immune system and stimulate marrow function.
If transplant is needed, donor matching is initiated—first with siblings, then registries.
Doctors design a plan based on patient age, condition severity, and donor availability.
