Our Aplastic Anemia Services Include

1. Aplastic Anemia Diagnosis & Evaluation

Aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Diagnosis includes:

• Complete blood count (CBC)
• Peripheral smear
• Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
• Flow cytometry for PNH clones
• Cytogenetic and molecular testing
• Viral and autoimmune screening
• Evaluation for inherited marrow failure syndromes

Early diagnosis is critical for effective treatment planning.

2. Types of Aplastic Anemia

Acquired Aplastic Anemia

Most common form caused by immune-mediated destruction of bone marrow stem cells. It may be triggered by autoimmune conditions, infections, drugs, toxins, radiation, or may be idiopathic.

Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes

Genetic conditions such as Fanconi anemia, Dyskeratosis congenita, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, and telomere disorders. These require special treatment planning and genetic evaluation.

3. PNH and Aplastic Anemia

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) may coexist with aplastic anemia and causes hemolysis, fatigue, dark urine, and blood clots.

Flow cytometry testing is essential for diagnosis, and modern targeted therapies have significantly improved outcomes.

4. Treatment Options for Aplastic Anemia

Treatment depends on severity, age, donor availability, and disease type.

5. Supportive Care

• Blood transfusions
• Platelet transfusions
• Infection prevention and treatment
• Iron overload monitoring
• Growth factor support in selected cases

6. Immunosuppressive Therapy (IST)

Used mainly in acquired aplastic anemia.

Includes:

• Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)
• Cyclosporine
• Eltrombopag

Many patients show strong response to modern IST protocols.

7. Bone Marrow Transplant — Curative Treatment

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative option for aplastic anemia.

It is especially recommended in:

• Severe or very severe aplastic anemia
• Young patients
• Matched donor availability
• Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes
• Non-responders to immunosuppressive therapy

Benefits of Early Transplant

• Higher cure rates
• Better survival outcomes
• Reduced infection risk
• Lower transfusion burden
• Prevention of long-term complications

8. Donor Options

• Matched sibling donor
• Matched unrelated donor
• Haploidentical donor
• Alternative donor transplants

Advances in transplant medicine have significantly improved safety and success rates.

9. Infection Care in Aplastic Anemia

Patients are highly prone to infections due to low immunity.

Our infection care approach includes:

• Early fever management
• Broad-spectrum antibiotics
• Antifungal and antiviral therapy
• Protective isolation when required
• Specialized transfusion care

10. Multidisciplinary Care

• Hemato-oncologists
• Bone marrow transplant specialists
• Genetic specialists
• Infectious disease experts
• Transfusion medicine teams
• Critical care specialists
• Nutrition and rehabilitation teams
