Anemia in Kidney Disease and Dialysis � What is anemia? A person whose blood is low in red blood cells has anemia. Red blood cells carry oxygen (O2) to tissues and organs throughout the body and enable them to use the energy from food. Without oxygen‚ these tissues and organs—particularly the heart and brain—may not do their jobs as well as they should. For this reason‚ a person who has anemia may tire easily and look pale. Anemia may also contribute to heart problems. Anemia is common

Hello Shyam‚ Thank you for your informative post about iron-deficiency anemia. Anemia is not a disease but an indication of an underlying illness‚ in which there is a decreased in the number of the red blood cells (RBCs)‚ the amount of hemoglobin (Hgb)‚ and/or the volume of RBCs (Sabol et al.‚ 2010). As we age‚ Hgb levels decrease‚ increasing the incidence of anemia (Sabol et al.‚ 2010). Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is the insufficiency in iron dietary intake and/or in iron absorption from different

AND FOLIC ACID IN PREVENTING MATERNAL ANEMIA AMONG VEGETARIANS-A CASE CONTROL STUDY INTRODUCTION: Anemia complicating pregnancy poses a considerable danger to pregnant women and the fetal outcomes. Maternal anemia is defined as presence of less than 9gm% of hemoglobin in blood (Van Hove et. al‚ 2000). There is a significant risk of premature delivery and miscarriage in anemic women. The fetus is also at risk for low birth weight and severe anemia is associated with increased maternal

Iron deficient anemia is a decreased total iron body content. It occurs when iron deficiency is severe enough to lower the amount of red blood cells being formed and it causes the development of anemia. It is the most common deficiency in the world. Hemorrhages can also cause anemia and much greater problems. Bleeding can also be so slow that it is often overlooked. Iron is a necessity for all living organisms because it is needed for many processes. Iron levels are carefully regulated by

Anemia is a condition in which there is lower than normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin within a person‚ consequently decreasing the amount of oxygen being carried to the rest of the body. Causes of such a condition are usually insufficient amounts of iron‚ blood loss‚ lack of red blood cell production‚ or high rates of red blood cell destruction. (MNT‚ http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/158800.php) One form of this condition is the disease Sickle Cell Anemia‚ an inherited blood disorder

Anemia is not a disease‚ but a sign that the body has some sort of problem with its red blood cells (RBCs). If a person’s blood does not have the right amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin‚ anemia can develop. Anemia is defined as a decrease in the circulating red blood cell mass and an equal decrease in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood (also known as hemoglobin). There are many types of anemia that are grouped by their underlying cause. To determine which type‚ doctors describe color
