suppression of myelopoiesis in the bone marrow.
A decrease in the ability of the bone marrow cells to produce blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This condition increases susceptibility to infection and produces fatigue.
condition in the bone marrow that results in fewer platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells
The suppression of bone marrow activity, resulting in reduction in the number of platelets, red cells and white cells found in the circulation.
Low blood counts caused by chemotherapy or radiation.
Myelosuppression occurs when the bone marrow slows production of blood cells. This results in fewer red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets available to perform their normal functions in the body. Chemotherapy can cause decreased bone marrow function. Most often, myelosuppression refers to the loss of white blood cells.
A bone marrow condition that results in decreased platelets and red and white blood cells.
A decrease in the production of red blood cells, platelets, and some white blood cells by the bone marrow.
A reduction in platelets, red cells and white cells, as a result of decreased bone marrow activity. Platelets are the blood cells that prevent or stop bleeding. White blood cells help prevent infections.
Suppression of bone marow activity, with resulting decrease in production of blood cells, especially granulocytes and platelets.
see BONE MARROW SUPPRESSION.
A condition in which bone marrow activity is decreased, resulting in fewer red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Myelosuppression is a side effect of some cancer treatments. When myelosuppression is severe, it is called myeloablation.
Impairment of the blood cell-producing function of the bone marrow.
A reduction in the bone marrow’s ability to make red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Suppression of bone marrow activity, causing decreased production of red blood cells (anemia), white blood cells (leukopenia), or platelets (thrombocytopenia). Myelosuppression is a side effect of some drugs, such as AZT.
the suppression of bone marrow activity, causing decreased production of red blood cells ( anemia) or white blood cells ( leukopenia). Myelosuppression is an effect of some antiretroviral drugs.
