The uncontrolled growth of cells affects maturation and this in turn leads to the accumulation of poorly differentiated cells. MPDs fall into 2 categories - acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myeloproliferative diseases. It is these clonal disorders in the bone marrow that actually lead to myeloaplasia (low count of all blood cell lines like red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets), myelodysplasia (group of disorders in which the bone marrow does not function properly and produces insufficient number of blood cells) and myeloproliferation. The differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells depends upon several regulatory growth factors called colony-stimulating factors (CSFs). There is no age, breed or gender predilection. However, in dogs they are found 10 times less frequently than lymphoproliferative (condition in which lymphocytes are produced in excessive quantities) diseases. In these type of conditions although the cells grow rapidly there is an impaired maturation and function leading to reduction of normal hematopoiesis (formation of blood cellular components) and destruction of other tissues. These abnormalities result from an unregulated growth of hematopoietic stem cells (multipotent stem cells that give rise to all types of blood cells).
