Biological and test markers
25This visual map uses existing EH database links to show biological agents and lab markers reported as increased, decreased, or associated with this condition. These are educational relationships only; test results must be interpreted by a qualified clinician because ranges vary by lab, method, age, sex and clinical context.

Introduction / full article
Aplastic Anemia
Aplastic Anemia
Aplastic anaemia is a disorder in which stem cells within the bone marrow fail to develop into mature blood cells and platelets. The result is that the bone marrow’s total output of blood cells is inadequate to meet the body’s requirements.
Aplastic anaemia differs from normal anaemia in that normal anaemia results from a shortage of red blood cells or haemoglobin within the cells. Aplastic anaemia, however, is associated with an insufficient number of all blood cells: red, white, and platelets.
