The diseases that affect bone marrow are aplastic anemia, leukemia, Reticulum cell sarcoma of the bone, anemia and Fanconi anemia.
Fanconi anemia is the most common type of inherited bone marrow failure disorder and affects from 1 to 5 out of every 1 million people.
The drugs that cause bone marrow failure are Capecitabine, Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin and Fluorouracil.
Bone marrow suppression will feel like fatigue and severe tiredness and can cause infections, bleeding and bruising when your bone marrow is suppressed.
The cancers that cause bone marrow suppression is blood related cancers such as multiple myeloma and leukemia.
Infections that cause bone marrow suppression include.
Epstein-Barr virus.
Hepatitis C virus.
Parvovirus 19.
Cytomegalovirus.
Chickenpox.
Human immunodeficiency virus.
Dengue fever.
Bone marrow suppression is caused by chemotherapy that is used to treat cancer as well as medications such as antibiotics, rheumatoid arthritis, radiation therapy, chemicals such as those found in pesticides and insecticides, auto immune disorders and certain types of cancer such as lymphoma, multiple myeloma and large granular lymphocytic leukemia.
Bone marrow suppression is when there are fewer blood cells being made in the bone marrow.
And bone marrow suppression is a common side effect of some strong medicines, such as chemotherapy (chemo).
Bone marrow suppression can cause anemia.
If you have a blood-related cancer like multiple myeloma, your bone marrow may not be able to make enough blood cells.
This is called myelosuppression or bone marrow suppression.
It can also be a side effect of some cancer treatments, like radiation, chemotherapy drugs, and steroids.
Bone marrow suppression also occurs in all individuals who take chloramphenicol regularly.
This is primarily manifested by a reversible fall in reticulocyte count.
Depressions in platelet count may also occur.
The risks for anemia (low red blood cells), severe tiredness (fatigue), infection, bleeding, and bruising go up when your bone marrow is suppressed.
Other causes of bone marrow failure are acquired.
The most common forms occur from drugs, chemicals, radiation, viral infections, immune disorders, MDS, PNH, or large granular lymphocytic leukemia.
You can stimulate your bone marrow naturally by doing the following.
Eating a diet rich in protein (lean meats, fish, beans, nuts, milk, eggs).
Taking vitamins (iron, B9, B12).
Treating medical conditions where bone marrow abnormalities are a side effect.
