Anemia
Sideroblastic anemia
Sideroblastic anemia is a rare blood disorders characterized by the bone marrow's inability to manufacture normal red blood cells. Sideroblastic anemias is one of the principal types of iron-utilization anemias that are usually part of a myelodysplastic syndrome, producing a normocytic-normochromic anemia with high RBC distribution width or a microcytic-hypochromic anemia, particularly with increased serum iron, ferritin, and transferrin saturation. Three categories of sideroblastic anemia are: hereditary, acquired or idiopathic.
Megaloblastic Anemia (Pernicious Anemia)
Megaloblastic anemia, also called pernicious anemia, is a blood disorder in which there is anemia with red blood cells that are larger than normal.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is a blood problem that occurs when have no enough of B12 vitamin in the body. Our body need Vitamin B12 to make red blood cells; without enough vitamin B12, the body does not produce enough red blood cells, and cells throughout the body do not get the oxygen they need.
Anemia Causes
Anemia Causes when a person has fewer RBCs than normal. This can happen for three main reasons: Red blood cells are being lost. The body is producing RBCs slower than it should. RBCs are being destroyed by the body.
Acute Blood Loss Anemia
Acute blood loss anemia, also called hemorrhagic anemia, is specific type of anemia that sufficient decrease in red blood cells (RBC) due to acute hemorrhage (bleeding). Within the first 1-2 days of an acute major hemorrhage the patient suffers mainly from a blood volume depletion and from the effects of a decreased perfusion pressure in various tissues. If the hemorrhage becomes controlled an acute blood loss anemia develops.
Hemoglobin
What is hemoglobin? Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.
Anemia Prevention
Many types of anemia can't be prevented. However, some common forms of anemia are most easily prevented by eating a healthy diet that includes foods rich in iron, folate and vitamin B-12, and limiting alcohol use.
Anemia treatment
The treatment for anemia depends on the underlying illness causing it. Blood Loss anemia: If you suddenly lose a large volume of blood, you may be treated with fluids, blood transfusion, oxygen, and possibly iron to help your body build new red blood cells. Chronic blood loss is treated by identifying the source of bleeding, stopping the bleeding.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Complete blood count (CBC), also called full blood count (FBC) or blood panel, is a blood test used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection and leukemia. The complete blood count is the calculation of the cellular (formed elements) of blood.
Anemia: diagnosis, test
Doctor diagnosed anemia with the help of a medical history, a physical exam and blood tests, may include the following: Complete blood count (CBC): Complete blood counts in the first batch of blood tests in the diagnosis of an anemia.
Anemia risk factors
Risk Factors for Anemia in menstruation Women. Anemia is a common condition. Both men and women can have anemia, but women of childbearing age are at higher risk for the condition. This is because women in this age range lose blood from menstruation. The monthly blood loss that occurs during menstruation causes the body to need increased iron.
Anemia: Symptoms and Signs
The symptoms and signs of anemia vary depending on the severity of the condition. If anemia is mild, it may not cause any symptoms. If anemia is slowly ongoing (chronic), the body may adapt and compensate for the change; in this case there may not be any symptoms until the anemia becomes more severe.
Anemia
Anemia, also called anaemia, is a condition in which your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. Red blood cells are produced through a series of complex and specific steps. They are made in the bone marrow, and when all the proper steps in their maturation are complete, they are released into the blood stream.
Bone marrow transplantation
Bone Marrow Transplantation is the infusion and replace bone marrow, is treatment of hematopoietic function, immune function defects, hematological tumors.
