Severe aplastic anaemia is a condition that occurs when the body stops producing enough new blood cells. It is a rare and serious condition which can develop at any age. It can progress slowly over weeks or months or may occur suddenly. It results due to the failure of the bone marrow to produce sufficient quantity of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF SEVERE APLASTIC ANAEMIA?
Bone marrow is a red, spongy material inside the bones that produces stem cells which give rise to other cells. It occurs when damage occurs to the bone marrow which results in shutting or slowing down of new blood cells. In aplastic anaemia, the bone marrow is described as aplastic or hypoplastic which means that it is empty (aplastic) or contains very few blood cells (hypoplastic).
FACTORS THAT CAN INJURE BONE MARROW ARE
- Radiation and chemotherapy treatments
- Use of certain drugs such as those used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and some antibiotics.
- Auto-immune disorders
- Exposure to toxic chemicals such as those used in pesticides and insecticides. This type of anaemia may get better on its own if exposure to these chemicals can be avoided.
- Viral infections like hepatitis, HIV, cytomegalovirus etc.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SEVERE APLASTIC ANAEMIA?
- Pale skin
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath due to exertion
- Frequent or prolonged infections
- Skin rashes
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Unexplained or easy bruising
- Nosebleeds and bleeding gums
- Prolonged bleeding from cuts
TREATMENT
Modern treatment for severe aplastic anaemia includes medication and blood transfusion but blood transfusion is not a cure for aplastic anaemia but it only relieves the symptoms by providing blood cells that the bone marrow is not producing. Blood transfusion only raises the red blood cell count and transfusion of platelet helps in preventing excessive bleeding.
Stem cell transplant is the other treatment for severe aplastic anaemia but it is not always successful.
In contrast Ayurvedic treatment helps in stimulating the healthy portion of the bone marrow to improve cell production and is also beneficial in countering side-effects that are associated with conventional therapy. Herbal remedies help in balancing disturbed immunity that is the root cause of this serious disease the chances of relapse significantly diminish with Ayurvedic treatment as Ayurveda works on the root cause of the disease.
