Can aplastic anemia be cured?

Aplastic anemia is a hematopoietic dysfunction that troubles many people. Clinically, the treatment of aplastic anemia is mainly based on typing treatment, and whether it can be cured depends on the type of aplastic anemia. Strictly speaking, the chances of curing chronic aplastic anemia are relatively high.

1. Aplastic anemia can be cured. Aplastic anemia is a benign blood disease, which is mainly caused by severe deficiency of bone marrow hematopoietic function. This anemia is curable. Clinically, hormone therapy or immunosuppressive therapy is given according to the patient's specific situation.

2. Hormone therapy. Chronic aplastic anemia can be treated with hormones. The treatment principle is to inject androgens to relieve vasospasm in the bone marrow environment, adjust blood perfusion in the microcirculation, improve the hematopoietic microenvironment, and promote hematopoiesis. Commonly used: adrenal cortex hormones.

3. Immunosuppressive therapy. For acute aplastic anemia, due to the severe loss of bone marrow hematopoietic function, stimulating bone marrow hematopoiesis has no acute therapeutic effect. Immunoglobulin is often used clinically to enhance the body's immunity, reduce the loss of thymus T cells in the body, inhibit their immune function, and promote their proliferation. Thymus T cells also have hematopoietic function and can treat acute anemia.

4. Bone marrow transplantation. If the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow is severely reduced, it can also be completely cured through bone marrow transplantation. This method requires the bone marrow of siblings with the same parents to be tested in advance. If the HLA is exactly the same, the transplantation can be carried out, which can have a complete cure. However, this medical technology is currently difficult to be widely used.
