Aplastic anaemia due to other external agents - what does this mean
Aplastic anaemia due to other external agents occurs when the body is exposed to certain toxins, such as benzene, certain drugs, and radiation, which can damage the bone marrow and inhibit its ability to produce enough new blood cells. this can lead to a deficiency in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, resulting in anemia, infections, and easy bleeding.
What happens during the disease - aplastic anaemia due to other external agents
Aplastic anaemia due to other external agents is caused by the destruction of the stem cells in the bone marrow. this can be caused by exposure to certain toxins, radiation, or drugs, which can damage the stem cells and prevent them from producing new blood cells. this can lead to a decrease in the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, resulting in the symptoms of aplastic anaemia.
