Myelosuppression results in a deficiency of one or more types of blood cells, leading to various symptoms:
- Anemia: Reduced red blood cells cause fatigue, weakness, and pallor. - Leukopenia: Decreased white blood cells increase susceptibility to infections. - Thrombocytopenia: Low platelet count leads to easy bruising and bleeding.
These symptoms require careful monitoring, especially in patients receiving treatments known to cause myelosuppression.
