| refractory anemia |
A clonal myeloid disorder that primarily affects red cell production in the marrow. In some cases the developing red cells have an abnormal accumulation of iron granules around the nucleus. These cells are called ringed sideroblasts. Refractory anemia (RA) and refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS) are often associated with mild to moderate decreases in white cells and platelets. These disorders are also referred to as myelodysplasia.
