Why would a person with leukemia have low numbers of red blood cells normal white blood cells and platelets in the blood?

A person with leukemia may have low red blood cells due to bone marrow being replaced by cancer cells, hindering normal red blood cell production. Low white blood cells and platelets may occur due to leukemia cells crowding out normal blood cell production in the bone marrow, leading to decreased production of white blood cells and platelets.


The main sites of blood cell production in adults are the spleen and the liver?

Actually, the main sites of blood cell production in adults are the bone marrow, specifically the red bone marrow found in the spongy bone tissue. The spleen and liver are not primary sites for blood cell production, though they do play roles in blood filtration and storage.


The kidneys are responsible for the production of what to maintain normal red blood cell volume?

The kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. This helps maintain normal red blood cell volume and oxygen-carrying capacity in the body.


In which system does marrow help in the manufacture of red blood cells and some white blood cells?

The marrow helps in the production of red blood cells and some types of white blood cells in the skeletal system.


What is extramedullary erythropoiesis?

Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells (erythrocytes) are produced. In human adults, this usually occurs within the bone marrow. In humans with certain diseases and in some animals, erythropoeiesis also occurs outside the bone marrow, within the spleen or liver. This is termed extramedullary erythropoiesis.

What vital process is being restored in a bone marrow transplant?

In a bone marrow transplant, the vital process being restored is hematopoiesis, which is the production of blood cells (such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) in the bone marrow. This process is crucial for the body to maintain normal blood cell levels and function.

What does Myelodysplastic syndrome do to the bone marrow?

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) causes abnormal production of blood cells in the bone marrow. This leads to insufficient or malfunctioning red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Over time, MDS can progress to acute myeloid leukemia in some cases.
