Bone Marrow Transplant
Rapid and uncontrollable production of abnormal white blood cells known as blasts causes leukaemia and can be either acute (growing quickly) or chronic (growing slowly). White blood cells, including lymphocytes and neutrophils, normally fight against infection. The vast number of abnormal white blood cells makes them unable to fight infection and also interferes with the proper production and functioning of the blood cells.
A rare illness in which the body stops producing enough new hematopoietic cells. Aplastic anaemia arises as a result of harmed bone marrow. Damage may already exist at birth or may appear after being exposed to radiation, chemotherapy, risky substances, specific drugs, or an illness.
A blood cancer that affects the lymphocytes or the lymphatic system of the body, including lymph nodes, is called lymphoma. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that fight infections in the body. These lymphoma cells then endanger the immune system. Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer in adults, and more than half the cases diagnosed are attributed to this type
Myeloma is caused by proliferation of abnormal plasma cells. Plasma cells are white blood cells that produce antibodies, thus, help in fighting infections. Myeloma cells produce abnormal protein known as M band which can be detected by blood tests. This abnormal protein can damage kidney leading to kidney damage including kidney failure and high calcium levels.
