Other pre-existing bone-marrow disorders such as acquired aplastic anemia following immunosuppressive treatment and Fanconi anemia can evolve into MDS. [15] MDS is thought to arise from mutations in the multipotent bone-marrow stem cell, but the specific defects responsible for these diseases remain poorly understood.
Aplastic anemia [2] (AA) [3] is a severe hematologic condition in which the body fails to make blood cells in sufficient numbers. Blood cells are produced in the bone marrow by stem cells that reside there. [4] Aplastic anemia causes a deficiency of all blood cell types: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. [5] [6]
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of rare blood cancers in which excess red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets are produced in the bone marrow. Myelo refers to the bone marrow , proliferative describes the rapid growth of blood cells and neoplasm describes that growth as abnormal and uncontrolled.
Lymphoid leukemias are a group of leukemias affecting circulating lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.The lymphocytic leukemias are closely related to lymphomas of the lymphocytes, to the point that some of them are unitary disease entities that can be called by either name (for example, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma).
In medicine, not otherwise specified (NOS) is a subcategory in systems of disease/disorder classification such as ICD-9, ICD-10, or DSM-IV.It is generally used to note the presence of an illness where the symptoms presented were sufficient to make a general diagnosis, but where a specific diagnosis was not made.
Anemia of chronic disease may also be due to neoplastic disorders and non-infectious inflammatory diseases. [6] Neoplastic disorders include Hodgkin disease and lung and breast carcinoma, while non-infectious inflammatory diseases include celiac disease, [10] rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and dermatomyositis.
