Persistent cytopenias can lead to significant complications:
Infections: Leukopenia increases the risk of severe, potentially life-threatening infections. Bleeding: Thrombocytopenia can result in uncontrolled bleeding and hemorrhage. Organ Dysfunction: Severe anemia can lead to hypoxia and subsequent organ damage, particularly affecting the heart and brain. Quality of Life: Fatigue, frequent infections, and bleeding issues can severely impact a patient's overall quality of life.
