U62.01: Clonal cytopenia of unknown significance
You have bone marrow disease.
The bone marrow is inside bone. The blood cells are formed in the bone marrow of some of the bones. There are 3 different types of blood cell: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells are important for carrying oxygen in the blood. White blood cells are part of the body’s immune system. They fight pathogens. Platelets are important for clotting blood.
The blood cells evolve from cells in the bone marrow. Throughout one's life, these cells may undergo changes. As a result of such changes, your blood cells are evolving differently. If you have too few blood cells, you can have symptoms. The symptoms depend on which type of blood cells are too infrequent in the blood.
