What Is Pancytopenia?: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

ByDr. Robert

Pancytopenia is a pathological condition in which the numerical reduction of all the cells present in the blood (erythrocytes, white blood cells and platelets) occurs. In other words, the simultaneous association of anemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia is created.

Thrombocytopenia is the expression of an insufficiency of marrow function, which can occur during various diseases of the hematopoietic bone marrow. This manifestation is found, in particular, in spinal cord aplasia and hypoplasia.

Pancytopenia is associated with several clinical conditions, such as aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, myelofibrosis, leukemia and neoplastic infiltration of the bone marrow.

The most frequent causes also include serious infections, hemorrhages, thymoma and pathological increase in spleen activity (hypersplenism). Pancytopenia can also be seen in Gaucher disease, dyskeratosis congenita, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Iatrogenic causes include ionizing radiation and chemotherapy for malignancies if the agent used induces bone marrow suppression.

Pancytopenia can also be induced by some drugs (including antifungals and antibiotics) and by exposure to toxic agents (e.g. arsenic intoxication).
