Don's Home Health Cause of Death Cancer Prostrate Bone Marrow Aplasia
Bone marrow aplasia (also known as hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome or radiation-acquired aplastic anemia), which is a severe depletion of blood-forming cells. This condition typically occurs after whole-body exposure to doses between 0.7 and 10 Gy (70-1000 rads) and results in pancytopenia, a critical reduction in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

It can also be caused by chemotherapy.

The primary treatment is the prompt administration of growth factors such as Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF).
