bone marrow damage
Compromised blood production
Bone marrow damage refers to injury or destruction of the soft tissue inside bones where blood cells are produced.
Causes include radiation, chemotherapy, certain toxins, and diseases like leukemia.
Damage impairs the body's ability to make red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, leading to anemia, increased infection risk, and bleeding problems: The radiation caused severe bone marrow damage.
