Disease description:
Recently, I have been feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded. After going to the hospital for a checkup, I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. May I ask, how is acute aplastic anemia treated?

The treatment of acute aplastic anemia mainly includes the following aspects:
1. **Supportive therapy**: When hemoglobin levels are excessively low, transfusion of an appropriate amount of red blood cells is given to improve anemia. When there is a tendency for bleeding or severe bleeding occurs, transfusion of concentrated platelets is administered.
2. **Pharmacological therapy**:
- Immunosuppressive agents, such as cyclosporine and cyclophosphamide tablets, can suppress immune responses and restore hematopoietic function.
- Antibiotics, such as cefixime capsules and amoxicillin capsules, are used for anti-infective treatment.
- Hemostatic agents, such as etamsylate injection and tranexamic acid tablets, are used for bleeding control.
3. **Surgical treatment**:
- Splenectomy: Suitable for patients with concurrent hypersplenism and persistently declining platelets unresponsive to transfusion.
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Suitable for young patients without a history of malignancy.
Patients should also maintain personal hygiene, ensure adequate rest, and follow a proper diet to promote recovery from the disease.
