Hemoglobin is the red pigment in red blood cells that transports oxygen. There are many types and potential causes of anemia. For information about a specific type of anemia, see one of the following articles: anemia - B12 deficiency anemia - folate deficiency anemia - iron deficiency anemia of chronic disease ... sickle cell anemia Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The cause varies with the type of anemia. Potential causes include blood loss, nutritional deficits, many diseases, medication reactions, and various problems with the bone marrow. Iron deficiency anemia is most common in women who have heavy menstrual periods. Risk factors include heavy periods, pregnancy, older age, and diseases that cause anemia.

Aplastic Anemia Answer Book Aplastic Anemia - The Disease Aplastic anemia is a rare but extremely serious disorder that results from the unexplained failure of the bone marrow to produce blood cells. In all probability you had never heard of this disease until the time of diagnosis. We hope that this pamphlet helps you deal with your situation by providing basic information about aplastic anemia and the various treatment options. This pamphlet is not intended as a substitute for the advice of a physician. It is important that you ask questions and learn as much as you can about this disease. By contacting the Aplastic Anemia Foundation of America, you can be connected with others in your same situation and receive information free of charge. There are AAFA chapters around the country. You do not need to be alone in dealing with aplastic anemia. Normal Bone Marrow Function The central portion of bones is filled with a spongy red tissue called bone marrow. The bone marrow is essentially a factory producing the cells of the blood: red cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all areas of the body, white cells that fight infection by attacking and destroying germs, and platelets that control bleeding by forming blood clots in areas of injury. Continuous production of blood cells is necessary all through life because each cell has a finite life span once it leaves the bone marrow and enters the blood: red cells120 days, platelets6 days, and white cellsone day or less!

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Anemia, one of the more common blood disorders, occurs when the number of healthy red blood cells decreases in the body. The disc-shaped red blood cells contain hemoglobin , a unique molecule that carries oxygen to the body's tissues. Anemia occurs for different reasons. These include: increased destruction (break down) of red blood cells (RBCs) increased blood loss from the body inadequate production of red blood cells by the bone marrow In some cases anemia results from an inherited disorder , whereas in other cases the condition is caused by something in a person's environment , such as a nutritional problem, infection, or exposure to a drug or toxin. Types of Anemia and Their Causes Anemia Caused by Destruction of Red Blood Cells Hemolytic ("hemo" means blood, "lytic" means destroying) anemia occurs when red blood cells are being destroyed prematurely and the bone marrow (the soft, spongy tissue inside bones that produces new blood cells) simply can't keep up with the body's demand for new cells. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, infections or certain medications - such as antibiotics or antiseizure medicines - are to blame. In a condition known as autoimmune hemolytic anemia , the immune system mistakes red blood cells for foreign invaders and begins destroying them. Other children inherit defects in the red blood cells, which may involve the RBC's structure or the production of hemoglobin or RBC enzymes. Common forms of inherited hemolytic anemia include sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Esta célula toma la molécula de oxigeno al paso de la sangre por los pulmones y la transporta a tejidos distantes que dependen de oxigeno para la producción de energía y su supervivencia. Los glóbulos rojos no podrían hacer este trabajo sin la hemoglobina contenida en ellos: sustancia que captura oxigeno y es la que le da el color rojo característico a la sangre. Ocurre Anemia cuando el porcentaje de glóbulos rojos en la sangre o la concentración de hemoglobina cae por debajo de lo normal. Muchos de los síntomas de Anemia son ocasionados por el inadecuado aporte de oxigeno a los tejidos.

Aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic syndromes can strike any person of any age, of any gender or any race, of any neighborhood anywhere in the world. In the United States, thousands of men, women and children are stricken with these non-contagious and often fatal blood disorders every year. They occur when the bone marrow stops making enough healthy blood cells. In most cases the cause of the diseases is idiopathic (unknown.) The suspected causes are many: radiation, benzene-based compounds, viruses such as hepatitis; environmental toxins; over the counter and prescription medications; street drugs; and other many chemicals too numerous to list. Aplastic anemia Patient Registry to keep track of patients for statistical analysis. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) Patient Registry for statistical analysis. It is believed that there are approximately 10,000 to 20,000 new cases each year in the United States with the number increasing each year because of exposure to radiation and other toxins. These are relatively new diseases; therefore the number of diagnosed cases is increasing. The highest incidence is in patients over 60 years of age though people of all ages, including children, are diagnosed with it each year.

How is anemia detected? Anemia is usually detected or at least confirmed by a complete blood cell (CBC) count. What is a complete blood cell (CBC) count? In a CBC test, the different types of cells in the blood are counted and examined. Today, much of this work is often automated and done by machine. Six tests make up a CBC: Red blood cell (RBC) count Hematocrit Hemoglobin White blood cell (WBC) count Differential blood count (the "diff") Platelet count Only the first three of these tests: the red blood cell (RBC) count, the hematocrit, and the hemoglobin, are relevant to the diagnosis of anemia.

What Is Fanconi Anemia And How Is It Diagnosed? Fanconi anemia (FA), named for Swiss pediatrician, Guido Fanconi, is one of the inherited anemias that leads to bone marrow failure (aplastic anemia). It is a recessive disorder: if both parents carry a defect (mutation) in the same FA gene, each of their children has a 25% chance of inheriting the defective gene from both parents. When this happens, the child will have FA. There are at least seven FA genes: A, C, D2, E, F, G and BRCA2 (as announced in the article entitled Biallelic Inactivation of BRCA2 in Fanconi Anemia in the July 26, 2002 edition of Science ). Six of these genes have been cloned. These six account for more than 85% of the cases of Fanconi anemia. Mutations in FA-A and FA-C account for FA in 76% of patients worldwide. FA occurs equally in males and females. It is found in all ethnic groups. Though considered primarily a blood disease, it may affect all systems of the body. Many patients eventually develop acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Older patients are extremely likely to develop head and neck, esophogeal, gastrointestinal, vulvar and anal cancers. Patients who have had a successful bone marrow transplant and, thus, are cured of the blood problem associated with FA still must have regular examinations to watch for signs of cancer. Many patients do not reach adulthood.
