How does bone marrow get affected?

Bone marrow can be affected by various factors, including diseases, toxins, and infections. Conditions such as leukemia, anemia, and multiple myeloma can disrupt normal blood cell production. Additionally, exposure to radiation or chemotherapy can damage bone marrow, leading to decreased blood cell counts and impaired immune function. Infections like viral hepatitis or HIV can also impact bone marrow's ability to produce healthy blood cells.
