Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue found in several bones of the human body, and this tissue contains hematopoietic stem cells that produce red blood cells (transport oxygen throughout the body), white blood cells (support the immune system), and platelets (clot blood). Bone marrow deficiency...
What is hypoplasia of bone marrow? What is inflammation of the bone and bone marrow? What causes bone marrow edema in the hips? What does bone marrow produce? What is MDS bone marrow disease? How does bone marrow produce blood? What type of adipocyte is in bone marrow?

Less Common Hypercalcemia Causes Additional causes of hypercalcemia can include: Health conditions.Lung diseasessuch as tuberculosis andsarcoidosiscan raise your blood levels of vitamin D. In turn, your gut will absorb more calcium. Paget's disease and an overactive thyroid are also linked to hyperca...
white blood cell). These abnormal cells are called “blasts” and are the leukemia cells. These cells divide quickly, leaving less room for healthy cells to develop, and also cause the disease to spread fast. Acute leukemia is monitored by measuring the number of blasts in the bone marrow....
What is sickle cell disease (SCD)? SCD causes your child's red blood cell (RBC)s to be sickle-(crescent) shaped. The sickle shape is caused by abnormal hemoglobin within the RBC. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to all tissues in your child's body. Sickle-shaped RBCs can get stuck inside bloo...
Inherited conditions are one of the causes of thrombocytopenia. For example, Falconi’s anemia is a congenital condition that may affect platelet formation in the bone marrow at a molecular level. Researchers believe that the disease produces proteins that interfere with normal deoxyribonucleic acid (...
Acquired causes of hemolytic anemia Medications such asmalariadrugs, sulfa drugs,acetaminophen(Tylenol), antiviral medications, andpenicillin Infections such ashepatitis,cytomegalovirus, typhoid, and dengue Autoimmune hemolytic anemias such ascold agglutinin diseaseand warm agglutinin disease ...
After completing this lesson, you will have an understanding of what a bone marrow biopsy is and be able to describe the procedure, recovery...
There remains ongoing research on emerging concepts of measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), including MRD cutoff levels appropriate for prognosis and treatment decisions, standardization of MRD testing methodologies, the use of peripheral blood versus bone marrow to ...
