hyper cellular marrow indicates an abnormality usually associated with pre leukemia
Hypercellular bone marrow can be caused by conditions such as hematologic malignancies (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma), myeloproliferative disorders (e.g., polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia), bone marrow hyperplasia (e.g., recovery from anemia or infection), or infiltration by metastatic cancer cells. Further evaluation with bone marrow biopsy and additional testing is often needed to determine the underlying cause.
There are various types of bone marrow disease, which are caused by abnormalities in the stem cells contained within the marrow. Leukaemia is one example of a bone marrow disease, in which abnormal white blood cells are produced. Bone marrow disease can also be caused by genetic or environmental factors.
Bone marrow is not a disease. It is the stuff inside bones where blood cells are made.
Leukemia
Microscopic examination of bone marrow can reveal leukemia, granulomas, myelofibrosis, myeloma, lymphoma, or metastatic cancers, bone marrow infection, and bone disease.
When a bone marrow signal is described as "unremarkable for the patient's age," it means that the findings from imaging or analysis of the bone marrow appear normal and consistent with what is expected for someone of that specific age group. There are no abnormal patterns, lesions, or signs of disease such as infections or malignancies. This assessment suggests that the bone marrow is functioning properly and does not indicate any underlying health issues.
Yes. It is a bone marrow disorder, and it is genetic.
Bone marrow reconversion in the knee refers to the process where yellow bone marrow, which primarily consists of fat cells, is replaced by red bone marrow, which produces blood cells. This can occur in response to increased demand for blood cell production, often due to conditions such as anemia, chronic disease, or after injury. The presence of reconverted marrow in imaging studies may indicate an adaptive response to physiological stress or a pathological condition affecting the bone and surrounding tissues.
may indicate either a benign reaction to an infection, surgery, or certain medications; or a disease like polycythemia vera, in which the bone marrow produces too many platelets too quickly.
Having extra large red blood cells may indicate a condition called macrocytic anemia, which can be caused by vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, liver disease, or certain medications. A bone marrow biopsy is needed to investigate the underlying cause, such as determining if the bone marrow is producing blood cells effectively or if there are any abnormalities in the bone marrow cells. This helps in diagnosing the specific condition and guiding appropriate treatment.
Leukemia typically does not form tumors as it is disease of the Bone Marrow. Myeloma or Multiple Myeloma is a clumping of bone marrow that is also a form of Leukemia.
"Myelo" typically indicates a relationship with the bone marrow, such as myeloid cells, which are produced in the bone marrow and play a role in immunity. It can also refer to conditions or terms related to the bone marrow, such as myeloma (a type of cancer that forms in plasma cells in the bone marrow) or myelosuppression (reduction in the activity of the bone marrow).
