Idiopathic anemia affects blood cell formation and clotting, with various types including aplastic, myelofibrosis, sideroplastic, and thrombocytopenia, which can also affect other parts of the body. Congenital or gestational factors can cause aplastic anemia, while myelofibrosis is caused by a DNA mutation. Sideroplastic anemia occurs when iron cannot be used to make hemoglobin, and thrombocytopenia destroys platelets. Idiopathic diseases can also affect the brain, central nervous system, lungs, and skin.
Idiopathic anemia affects everything from blood cell formation to the clotting process. These anemia-related diseases, called idiopathic because of their unknown origin, damage or destroy stem cells that develop into red blood cells, as is the case with idiopathic aplastic anemia or idiopathic myelofibrosis. Iron-deficiency anemia makes the body unable to transform iron into hemoglobin, and idiopathic thrombocytopenia is the lack of an adequate number of platelets. Not just limited to the blood, idiopathic diseases can affect other regions of the body as well.
Idiopathic or hypoplastic aplastic anemia generally occurs when stem cells within the bone marrow are damaged or damaged. Less frequently, this type of idiopathic anemia can occur due to damage to the blood supply to the bone marrow itself. Both conditions inhibit the growth and maturity of red and white blood cells along with platelets. The condition can be congenital, appearing in infants and children from birth to age 10. Barring genetic or other hereditary factors, this abnormality occurs due to some kind of change or disruption during the gestational process.
Myelofibrosis, or gynogenic myeloid metaplasia, is a relatively rare idiopathic anemia that affects only one in 500,000 people. The disease begins with a mutation in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a stem cell. The affected cell turns into a type of fibrous tissue, which consequently produces abnormal blood cells. Red and white blood cells along with platelets become irregular in shape and number. The number of red blood cells drops dramatically, while the number of white blood cells increases. Platelets can decrease or increase in number.
Sideroplastic anemia occurs when the body has sufficient stores of iron, which it is unable to use to make hemoglobin. Iron accumulates within the mitochondria of red blood cells, causing a ring to appear around the cell nucleus. The increased amount of iron in the blood can cause damage to the heart, kidneys, liver or spleen.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenia, or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is an autoimmune disease that destroys platelets, which help in the clotting process. Considered an acute condition in children and chronic in adults, thrombocytopenia occurs when antibodies attack the glycoprotein membranes of platelets, thereby rupturing the cell. This condition may or may not originate in the bone marrow.
Idiopathic diseases can disrupt any system in the body, as is the case with idiopathic epilepsy, which affects the brain. Idiopathic neuropathy involves disease of the central nervous system, while idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis affects the lungs. Idiopathic uticaria produces hives and itching for no apparent reason.
