A member asked:
Can any doc tell me what's meant when a bone marrow biopsy/aspiration report shows hypocellular marrow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone marrow: Bone marrow cellularity refers to how much of the marrow is making blood cells, and how much is fat. As people age, it tends to decline and move more centrally. Severe hypocellularity may indicate aplastic anemia or even leukemia, which needs treatment. Lesser degrees may or may not, depending on other symptoms and lab findings.
