Anemia

Anemia is a reduction in red blood cells (RBC), the oxygen carrying capacity of blood due to the following (1) excessive blood loss decreases (2) deficiencies and inconsistencies in the management of the RBC (3) excessive destruction of red blood cells .

* The most common symptoms of anemia

These symptoms occur in most types of anemia:
pale skin
dizziness
fatigue
headache
irritability
low body temperature
Numb / cold hands or feet
Rapid heartbeat
dyspnea
weakness
chest pain

* Types of anemia

Various forms of anemia have different causes and symptoms.
Iron deficiency Anaemia: Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of anemia, especially among women. In the U.S. alone, eight million women suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency causes inadequate production of hemoglobin, leading to anemia and anemia symptoms.

Sickle cell disease: sickle cell anemia or sickle cell anemia is one of possession causes of anemia. The most commonly seen in people of African descent, sickle cell anemia is characterized by production of rigid, sickle-shaped red blood cells. These abnormal cells sickle leave faster than normal red blood cells, leading to a chronic shortage of red blood cells and anemia symptoms.
Sickle cell anemia is a form of hemolytic anemia, which kind of anemia caused by a rapid destruction of red blood cells described.

Pernicious anemia, some forms of anemia is megaloblastic anemia or vitamin deficiency. Pernicious anemia is caused by the inability of the intestines sufficient vitamin B12 in the production of red blood cells, essential for learning.

Pernicious anemia symptoms include vision problems, memory loss, difficulty walking and numb hands and feet, as well as more general symptoms of anemia.
Risk factors for malignant disease are family history of anemia, Scandinavian and European origin or history of diseases of the endocrine glands of the car.
Vitamin B12 injections are the standard treatment of pernicious anemia. Oral supplements of vitamin B12 can be used as a treatment for pernicious anemia, but it is not as effective as B12 injections.

Folic acid anemia: anemia, folic acid, such as anemia is megaloblastic anemia. Folate is essential for healthy blood and nervous system healthy. Folic acid deficiency during pregnancy can cause birth defects.
Folic acid in the center of folic acid deficiency anemia.

Anemia Treatment includes eating foods rich in folate, including foods such as:
cereals and pulses
citrus fruits and juices
dark green leafy vegetables
pig
Poultry
shellfish
Wheat bran

Thalassemia: Causes of anemia often genetic mutations. Thalassemia is a genetically inherited form of anemia. Thalassemia occurs when the body is in the genes responsible for the proper formation of hemoglobin damaged or mutated. Like sickle cell anemia, thalassemia is a form of hemolytic anemia.
Many potential gene defects cause disease and thalassemia, and light pressure. Tower of anemia is the most common severe thalassemia in the U.S.

The disease tends to be present at birth and symptoms include:
dark urine
deformed facial bones
fatigue
jaundice
poor growth
Stomach swelling caused by an enlarged spleen and liver
weakness
Some ethnic groups have a higher risk of thalassemia, including people of African, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Italian, Greek and Middle Eastern nationalities.

Treatment of thalassemia, depending on the severity of the disease. Deciduous types of thalassemia can be treated with regular blood transfusions. Severe cases require more blood transfusions, chelation excess iron from the blood and bone marrow removed. Without treatment, severe thalassemia often fatal in infancy.
Aplastic anemia, aplastic anemia is one of the few forms of anemia, which occurs when the body produces enough red and white blood cells.

Causes of aplastic anemia include:
Radiation Therapy
chemotherapy
Toxic chemicals
certain medications
bone marrow infection
