Aplastic anaemia

Aplastic anaemia

Aplastic anaemia is a rare blood condition (but not a blood cancer) that occurs when your body stops producing enough new blood cells. The word ‘aplastic’ refers to the inability to create new cells, in other words, that tissues in the body cannot grow or replicate.

Anaemia is when the number of red blood cells or more specifically, the haemoglobin in red blood cells that carrries oxygen, is lower than normal.
