Depression of the bone marrow, or bone marrow suppression, can be caused by various factors including certain medications (such as chemotherapy agents), autoimmune disorders, infections, and exposure to toxic substances (like heavy metals or radiation). Nutritional deficiencies, particularly of vitamin B12, folate, and iron, can also impair bone marrow function. Additionally, underlying health conditions such as leukemia or aplastic anemia directly affect the bone marrow's ability to produce blood cells. This suppression can lead to anemia, increased risk of infection, and problems with blood clotting.
