| description | A diagnostic bone marrow aspiration may be used to determine the cause of unexplained low or high peripheral blood cells counts, including too few or too many red blood cells (RBCs) (anemia or polycythemia). When the RBC concentration in blood decreases, the marrow typically increases the rate of RBC production until there is a sufficient number of RBCs in the blood or until marrow production capacity is reached. If the bone marrow cannot produce sufficient quantities of RBCs, the individual will become increasingly anemic, with symptoms such as pallor, fatigue, and shortness of breath due to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity by the red blood cells. Anemia can also occur if the production of RBC in the marrow is suppressed. Polycythemia is defined as an increase in the number of erythrocytes in the blood and marrow.

| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | |
