Myelofibrosis Awareness
| Posted on August 2, 2014 at 11:35 AM |
Myelofibrosis What is
Myelofibrosis? Myelo= Marrow Fibrosis=
Accumulation of scar tissue Simply put,
it is a blood condition in which the bone marrow is replaced by scar tissue. What happens? The bone
marrow is a soft fatty tissue inside of your bones. This tissue is replaced by scar tissue. Due to the accumulation of scar tissue, blood
cells do not grow correctly. Blood cells
are very important to the body. Red blood cells carry oxygen to your tissues
and organs, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets help blood
clot. Lack of healthy blood cells leads
to anemia, bleeding problems, and high risk for infections. Due to the lack of fully developed blood
cells, other organs such as the liver and spleen try to make some of the
cells. This causes these organs to
swell. What is the
cause? Research
suggests it may be due to abnormal blood stem cells in the bone marrow. What are the
risk factors? Currently
there are no known risk factors. What are the
symptoms? -Fullness,
discomfort of pain in the upper left side of the Stomach due to an enlarged
spleen -Bone/Joint
Pain -Bleeding or
Bruising Easily -Feeling
tired and/or weak (Fatigue) -Shortness of
breath with exercise -Increased infections
-Pale mucus
membranes (pale gums for example) What are the
treatments? Each case is
different but common treatments include: -Blood
Transfusions -Medications -Removal of
the Spleen What if
treatments don’t work? Many people diagnosed
with life-threatening blood conditions will eventually need a bone marrow
transplant. What is a
bone marrow transplant? A bone marrow
transplant is when a donor’s healthy blood forming cells are put into the
bloodstream of a patient such as Syreeta.
These cells then begin to grow and make healthy red blood cells, white
blood cells and platelets. There are two
types of bone marrow transplant procedures. To learn more about the bone marrow
transplant procedure visit “Be the Match”. Want to "Be the Match"? Come out on August 10, 2014 and join the registry or Donate to "Be Syreeta's Match"! |
