Common Symptoms Of Mastocytosis

Anemia

Over ninety percent of adults affected by systemic mastocytosis develop lesions in their bone marrow. These lesions of mast cells cause the crowding out of other immature cells that are meant to grow into mature and functional red blood cells. Anemia is defined as a condition where an individual does not have enough functional red blood cells to meet the oxygen demands of their body. When some mechanism stops the bone marrow from producing an adequate amount of red blood cells, an individual will become anemic. Symptoms of anemia include pale skin color, loss of energy, pale skin, leg cramps, insomnia, problems with concentrating, breathlessness, headaches, rapid heartbeat, cold extremities, chest pain, and weakness. Other hematological abnormalities that can develop in mastocytosis patients can contribute to the loss of iron and other components in the blood due to excessive destruction and abnormal bleeding, which may also cause anemia to develop.
