PRCA - A rare condition in which the bone marrow does not make enough red blood cells. Signs and symptoms include tiredness, pale skin, breathing problems, dizziness, and headaches. PRCA primarily affects adults and can be caused by infections, kidney failure, an autoimmune disease (such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), pregnancy, a thymoma (tumor of the thymus gland), and certain types of cancer, including leukemia. It can also be caused by taking certain medications. PRCA can also be inherited and seen in the first year of life, but this is very rare. Also called erythrocyte aplasia
