Hematopoietic syndrome of acute radiation syndrome

Hematopoietic syndrome of acute radiation syndrome is a life-threatening, dose-dependent clinical sub-syndrome caused by high-dose, penetrating ionizing radiation delivered to the whole body or a significant portion of it over a short duration It primarily targets the hematopoietic system, driven pathophysiologically by the profound depletion and mitotic arrest of radiosensitive bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

This myelosuppression results in severe pancytopenia characterized by profound lymphopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia, which typically manifests weeks after exposure with life-threatening infections, sepsis, spontaneous hemorrhage, and impaired wound healing
