Bone marrow disease: The symptoms are related to the abnormality of  the bone marrow function -i.e. Decrease production of the blood cell counts-or increase level of blood cells counts  if something supresses bone marrow function-anemia, decrease WBC and platelet can happen. -symptoms will include fatigue, infection, fever, bleeding. If the cell count is too much-clots, fatigue, feeling sluggish  can happen.

Question 2

can bone marrow disease produce only minimal effects on the body?

Accepted Answer

It varies greatly: Bone marrow has lots of reserve, so it can be partly diseased, yet the body has no effect. But once the bone marrow is completely diseased or damaged, then the body will have all kinds of effects in the form of anemia(low hemoglobin), low WBC and low platelet counts and the complications of infections and bleeding as a result of low blood counts.

Question 3

is it possible for bone marrow disease to gace no effect on your body?

Accepted Answer

No.: The very definition of a disease is that it is a condition which adversely affects health. So if you really have a disease in the marrow it's likely to make you feel sick sooner or later.

More detail needed: Bone marrow diseases are many and diverse. Can you be more specific in your question?

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Confusing: Can you restate your quetion? Are you talking about a bone marrow transplant? Isolation is required to prevent infections in people after bone marrow transplants, as the immune system is profoundly suppressed for a number of weeks and beyond.

Question 6

what should i do if my tlc level and platelets level is low. i didn't get any chemotherapy nor any congenital bone marrow disease. furthermore i have cough with sputum , fever and body aches. my hb level is normal?

Accepted Answer

: You said your WBC and Platelet count is low but Hb is OK: we need to know exact numbers because there is a wide range of what is considered normal. So "low" is a relative term.
The most common cause of abnormal test is a lad error, so I would recommend a repeat of your blood counts and send us the exact numbers from both reports.
Sometimes a virus illness like Flu can cause low blood counts tempor
