T86.00: Bone-marrow transplant rejection

You are not producing enough blood cells after you, in the past, were given stem cells from another person.

Stem cells are cells that can develop into different types of cells. For example, blood cells can develop from stem cells. Stem cells are found in the blood and inside some bones. Blood is made up of a liquid part and different blood cells, among other things. The blood cells include the red blood cells, the white blood cells and the platelets. The red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. White blood cells are part of the body’s immune system. They fight pathogens. Platelets are important for blood clotting.

You were given stem cells from another person. These stem cells are supposed to form blood cells. However, the stem cells do not work properly in your case. Because of this, you have too few blood cells.

If you have too few blood cells in your body you may have different problems. For example, if you have too few red blood cells, you may be pale and weak. If you have too few white blood cells, then you are more susceptible to illnesses. If you have too few platelets, you can bleed more quickly, for example.
