Il y a trop peu de globules rouges dans le sang et présence d'anémie; des changements peuvent avoir affecté les globules blancs et les plaquettes; le nombre de blastes dans le sang est normal (moins de 5 %); l'AREB est divisée en 2 catégories qui se basent sur le pourcentage de blastes dans la moelle osseuse : AREB-1 – de 5 à 9 % des cellules dans la moelle osseuse sont des blastes; AREB-2 – de 10 à 19 % des cellules dans la moelle osseuse sont des blastes. Environ 25 % des cas d'AREB-1 et 33 % des cas d'AREB-2 évoluent en LAM [leucémie aiguë myéloblastique]. 2, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mie%20r%C3%A9fractaire%20avec%20exc%C3%A8s%20de%20blastes
