MDS (Myelodysplastic syndrome)
Blood stem cells are impacted by MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome), often known as myelodysplasia. There are insufficient healthy blood cells in people with MDS. Anaemia, recurrent infections, and uncontrollable bleeding are among the symptoms of MDS. There are cases of acute myeloid leukaemia in MDS patients. The goal of MDS therapy is to prevent the worsening of the condition. Get comprehensive care that goes beyond therapy at Therrapie Haematology Clinic, covering all facets of health as you navigate the care and treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome.
Understanding MDS
A class of diseases known as myelodysplastic syndromes are brought on by malformed or malfunctioning blood cells. MDS (Myelodysplastic syndrome) is caused by abnormalities in the bone marrow, the spongy substance found within your bones that is where blood cells are created.
The main goals of managing myelodysplastic syndromes are to reduce symptoms, stop the illness from becoming worse, and avoid consequences. Medications to increase the synthesis of red blood cells and blood transfusions are common interventions.
It may be necessary in some circumstances to replace your bone marrow by healthy bone marrow of a donor through a transplant of bone marrow, sometimes referred to as a stem cell transplant.

Signs and symptoms
It’s possible for people with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) to initially have no symptoms at all. Myelodysplastic disorders may eventually result in:
- Feeling tired
- Breathlessness
- Unusual pallor, brought on by anaemia
- Easy or unexpected bleeding or bruises brought on by thrombocytopenia, a low blood platelet count
- little red patches, called petechiae, that are produced by bleeding directly beneath the skin.
- recurring infections brought on by leukopenia, a low white blood cell count.
Treatment Of Myelodysplastic Syndrome
When creating treatment strategies for MDS, medical professionals take into account many criteria.
- the kind of MDS
- if you suffer from anaemia, bleeding, infections, or other MDS problems.
- Whether you had radiation treatment or chemotherapy for malignancy before developing MDS.
- Your age
- Your overall well-being.
MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) therapy options include supportive care as well as therapies to eliminate diseased blood cells.
You can rely on the skilled and knowledgeable staff of specialised haematologists at Therrapie Haematology Clinic, who are known for their proficiency in treating MDS.
Supportive Care
- Transfusions of red blood cells may be administered to you if you suffer from anaemia. Should you experience bleeding problems, you could be given platelet transfusions.
- Erythropoiesis-stimulating medication which raises the concentration of mature red blood cells in your body.
- Antibiotics, because of white blood cell deficiency from MDS, may raise the risk of infection.
Therapies to eliminate abnormal red blood cells
- Chemotherapy: Medical professionals may administer the same chemotherapy used to treat AML.
- Immunosuppressive therapy: For specific MDS subtypes, providers may employ this course of action. Immunosuppressive treatment inhibits hyperactive immune responses and may lessen the requirement for blood transfusions.
- Stem cell transplant: A stem cell transplant uses bone marrow or blood from a donor, or it uses your blood to replenish your body’s blood-forming cells. While you undergo chemotherapy, the stem cells are preserved and kept frozen. After that, the stem cells are frozen and given back to you intravenously. After that, your reinfused cells proliferate and replenish your blood cells.
