Refractory anaemia, unspecified - what does this mean
Refractory anaemia, unspecified is a form of anaemia that is resistant to treatment. it is caused by a variety of factors, including a decrease in the production of red blood cells, an increase in the destruction of red blood cells, or a combination of both. it can be caused by certain medications, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and genetic disorders.
What happens during the disease - refractory anaemia, unspecified
Refractory anaemia is a condition in which the body is unable to produce enough healthy red blood cells to meet its needs. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including inherited genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. in some cases, the bone marrow is unable to produce enough healthy red blood cells due to a lack of certain vitamins and minerals or a decrease in the production of red blood cell precursors. in other cases, the red blood cells produced are abnormal or are destroyed by the body's own immune system. treatment typically involves the use of medications to stimulate red blood cell production or to reduce the destruction of red blood cells.
