Case Summary
Patient: Zhen Yixuan, male, 12 years old
Diagnosis: Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA)
History: A middle school student diagnosed with SAA after experiencing persistent fatigue, frequent nosebleeds, and easy bruising. Western medicine treatment with immunosuppressants showed limited improvement. His parents brought him to our hospital for TCM treatment.
TCM Treatment
Director Yuan diagnosed the pattern as spleen-kidney yang deficiency with blood stasis. Treatment focused on warming and tonifying spleen-kidney yang, promoting blood circulation, and stimulating marrow regeneration.
After 2 months, hemoglobin began rising. After 4 months, platelet counts improved significantly. After 8 months of consistent treatment, all blood parameters returned to near-normal levels.
Outcome
The boy successfully returned to school and maintains regular follow-up visits. His blood counts remain stable without transfusion dependence.
