For Patients & Families Diseases Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA) Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA) is a disease in which the bone marrow production of all the normal components of blood-red cells, white cells and platelets-is reduced. It is not a cancer although in rare circumstances, it may develop into myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Screening and Prevention At this time, we do not know what causes acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the majority of cases. Researchers are trying to solve this problem. Scientists know that AML occurs in males more often than in females and in Caucasians more frequently than in African-Americans.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Signs and Symptoms Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Typically AML comes on suddenly, within days or weeks. Less often, a patient has been ill for a few months or may have a prior history of Myelodysplastic Syndrome. AML makes people sick primarily by interfering with normal bone marrow function. The leukemia cells replace and crowd out the normal cells of the bone marrow, thereby causing low blood cell counts. This insufficient number of red blood cells results in a condition called anemia, which causes a person to be tired and pale.

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND IMMUNITY. Antiphospholipid (AN-te-fos-fo-LIP-id) antibody syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune disorders occur if the body's immune system makes antibodies that attack and damage tissues or cells. Antibodies are a type of protein. They usually help defend the body against infections. In APS, however, the body makes antibodies that mistakenly attack phospholipids—a type of fat.
