Dr. Zhang Heyang
Aplastic anemia is rarely curable because it involves pathological changes in the bone marrow, impairing its ability to produce blood cells normally. Common causes include drug-induced injury, ionizing radiation, and certain viral infections. To date, no definitive cure exists. Some patients may require repeated blood transfusions, which can be costly and yield only modest therapeutic benefits.
