Other acquired pure red cell aplasias - what does this mean
Other acquired pure red cell aplasias are a rare form of anemia that occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the bone marrow's stem cells, which produce red blood cells. this results in a decrease in the number of red blood cells, leading to anemia.
What happens during the disease - other acquired pure red cell aplasias
Other acquired pure red cell aplasias is a condition which is caused by an immune-mediated destruction of the red blood cells. this destruction is caused by the production of autoantibodies, which are antibodies that mistakenly attack the patient's own red blood cells. this destruction of red blood cells leads to a decrease in the production of new red blood cells, resulting in anemia.
