Anemia

Anemia's disease overview

What is

Anemia ?

Anemia is a condition of rapid blood blood and the amount of red blood cells in the peripheral blood reduced, resulting in the lack of oxygen to the tissues of cells in the body.

Causes of Anemia's disease

The main causes of anemia in humans:

  • Anemia due to reduced blood production in the bone marrow:
  • iron deficiency anemia : Due to diseases that cause blood loss such as hookworms, stomach ulcers, menstruation, hemorrhage in women, bleeding tumors Hemorrhoids ...
  • Anemia due to lack of folic acid : Common in patients with alcoholism, malabsorption, use of birth control pills ...

    • Anemia due to the lack of vitamin B12 : encountered by stomach cutting, pancreatic disability, inflammation or ileum cutting

  • Due to genetic abnormalities: abnormalities in the structure of hemoglobin erythrocytes, leading to short-term red blood cells causing Thalassemia disease, often two detectors are beta-thalassemia and Alpha- Thalassemia.

    • Anemia due to immunodefrusation: Due to the abnormal antibodies against red blood cells, causing red blood cells to be broken, causing anemia phenomenon.

  • Anemia due to bone marrow failure: Due to bone marrow condition does not produce enough blood cells needed for the body, the cause of infection, chemicals, radiation, genetic or genetic unknown cause.
  • Anemia due to chronic renal failure: Chronic renal failure causes the phenomenon of glomerular cell reduction, causing the amount of erythropoietin to decrease.

    • Symptoms of Anemia's disease

    Patients with anemia often have the following manifestations:

  • Pale, pale skin and mucosa. >
  • fatigue, suspense, tachycardia. >

    People at risk for Anemia's disease

    The risk factors for anemia phenomenon are:

  • incomplete nutrition, iron deficiency, vitamin B12, folate.
  • intestinal disorders: This condition leads to poor absorption of nutrients in the small intestine causing anemia.

    • Women during menstruation can cause red blood cell deficiency, leading to anemia.

    Women during pregnancy are at risk of iron deficiency anemia due to the amount of iron that must be stored for increased blood volume to provide hemoglobin for fetuses.

    Patients with chronic diseases such as cancer, kidney failure, liver failure are also an anemia risk.

    Family history of genetic blood diseases is also a risk of anemia.

    Other factors such as a history of infection, blood disease, autoimmune disorders, alcoholism, toxic chemicals and drug use also affects the production of red blood cells , causing anemia in patients.

    Prevention of Anemia's disease

    To prevent anemia, we should:

  • Hygienic and scientific food. The diet must be full of substances, taste, limiting artificial spices, aromas and grease.
  • Balanced living mode combined with health training.
  • Women need to pay attention to their menstrual cycle, add iron to drink and eat plenty of foods that contain a lot of iron when the body is deficient in iron.
  • Listen to the body and promptly detect suspected signs of anemia as well as anemia risk factors.
  • Health examination at least once a year to detect the disease as soon as possible.

    • Diagnostic measures for Anemia's disease

    Clinical, diagnosis of anemia based on the following signs:

  • pale skin, pale mucosa
  • tinnitus, dizziness, dizziness, fainting
  • Anorexia, digestive disorders
  • Nervous, easy to fatigue, fast heartbeat
  • Women can be amenorrhea

    • Subclinical, diagnosis of anemia based on the results of blood formula, folic acid content/ferritin/marrow content

    Blood formula: Based on the concentration of hemoglobin as follows:

  • lower than 13g/dl (130 g/l) for men.
  • lower than 12g/dl (120 g/l) for women.
  • lower than 11 g/dl (110g/l) for the elderly.

    • Ferritin content decreases

    Folic acid content or vitamin B12 decreases

    Bone marrow reduction

    Anemia's disease treatments

    Methods of treatment of anemia must depend on the cause of anemia, may have the following measures:

  • Blood transfusion

    • Use corticosteroids, immune system inhibitors.

  • Use erythropoietin to help bone marrow create more blood cells.
  • Iron supplements, vitamin B12, folic acid and other vitamins and minerals.
