- Decreased production in the bone marrow:
- Hereditary disorders (e.g. congenital neutropenia, Cyclic neutropenia)
- Cancer
- Drugs(e.g. Capecitabine, Imatinib, Interferon beta- 1a, Interferon beta- 1b, Metoclopramide, Methimazole)
- Radiation
- Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.
- Increased destruction:
- Aplastic anemia
- Autoimmune neutropenia.
- Chemotherapy
- Marginalisation and sequestration:
