People with aplastic anaemia may experience extreme tiredness, breathlessness, frequent infections, unexplained bruising or bleeding and a noticeably pale complexion. These symptoms are due to a reduced production of blood cells.
Aplastic anaemia is typically identified through blood tests revealing low counts of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. A bone marrow biopsy may also be needed to assess the condition of the bone marrow.
Treatment varies depending on the severity but may include blood transfusions, medications to suppress the immune system or a bone marrow transplant in more critical cases. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management of the condition.
