One of the most obvious symptoms and signs of aplastic anaemia is because of bone marrow failure. Chronic Aplastic Anaemia is resulting in permanent bone marrow failure.
A bone marrow biopsy must confirm the diagnosis. Aplastic anaemia is a blood disorder in which the body’s bone marrow doesn’t make sufficient new blood cells.
Bone marrow is a sponge-like tissue located in inside our bones. It makes stem cells that develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Furthermore, if your bone marrow can’t make enough new blood cells, many health difficulties can happen. These problems include abnormal heartbeats, an enlarged heart, heart failure, infections, and bleeding. Severe aplastic anaemia can even cause death.

Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Aplastic anaemia can cause nausea and skin rashes. Besides, it may also cause symptoms related to having a low red blood cell count, low white blood cell count, or low platelet count.
