Health Description
Health Consultation Description: Are there relapses of aplastic anemia after treatment?


Expert Reply

Condition analysis:
Yes there can be relapses, but success is dependent on several factors:
-- your age, overall health, and medical history
-- extent of the disease
-- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
-- expectations for the course of the disease

Generally, younger people under 40 have a higher cure rate without relapse than those over 40. However, current treatments for aplastic anemia include high doses of the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide, which can lead to long-lasting, complete remission patients - even those over 40. This type of therapy rids the body of the cells that cause aplastic anemia without destroying key blood and bone marrow-forming stem cells. Stem cells contain high levels of an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase, which makes them resistant to the toxic effects of cyclophosphamide.

Bone marrow transplants are often a cure for younger patients, but not normally a viable treatment option for those over 40 or patients with other health-related factors or without a compatible donor. Drug therapy with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) which stimulates the production of blood cells by suppressing the immune system may be recommended for these patients. While drug therapy is not a cure for aplastic anemia, it may partially restore blood cell production. However, as many as 30 percent of these patients relapse or develop other blood forming malignancies or disorders.
