7. Aplastic Anemia

Aplastic anemia is caused by damage to bone marrow. This damage causes a slowing or shut down of red blood cell production. Stem cells in the bone marrow produce blood cells, and when that production slows, a shortage occurs. Treatment for aplastic anemia include medications, blood transfusions, and stem cell transplants.
