Refractory anaemia with excess of blasts [raeb] - what does this mean

Raeb is a type of myelodysplastic syndrome (mds) in which the bone marrow produces too many immature blood cells (blasts) and not enough mature red blood cells. it is caused by genetic mutations in the bone marrow cells that impair their ability to develop into healthy red blood cells. this leads to a decrease in the number of normal red blood cells and an increase in the number of blasts, resulting in anemia.

What happens during the disease - refractory anaemia with excess of blasts [raeb]

Raeb is a type of myelodysplastic syndrome (mds) characterized by a decrease in red blood cell production, an increase in blasts (immature white blood cells) in the bone marrow, and a resistance to treatment with erythropoietin. it is caused by genetic mutations that disrupt the normal life cycle of blood cells, leading to an accumulation of blasts in the bone marrow, decreased production of healthy red blood cells, and decreased response to erythropoietin. other associated symptoms may include fatigue, anemia, and increased risk of infection.
