3. Unusual Bleeding

Some cases of MDS cause bone marrow to lack platelets. This condition, which is known as thrombocytopenia, causes an individual to bleed not only easily, but ceaselessly as well. Without a sufficient amount of platelets, the blood has a difficult time clotting. A person with thrombocytopenia, and certain types of MDS, has a count below 150,000 platelets per micro-liter of blood.
