Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelosuppression is a condition where bone marrow is not able to produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, leading to a decrease in their numbers. Therefore, it is most likely that white blood cells will be depressed in myelosuppressed patients. Prothrombin and albumin are not produced by bone marrow and myelin sheath is not a type of blood cell, so they are not directly affected by myelosuppression.
