Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia is a rare disorder in which the body does not absorb enough vitamin B12 from the digestive tract, resulting in an inadequate amount of red blood cells (RBCs) produced. What causes megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia? Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia is more common in individuals of northern European descent. Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia results from a lack of intrinsic factor in gastric secretions (a substance needed to absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract). Vitamin B12 deficiency results. The inability to make intrinsic factor may be the result of chronic gastritis, or the result of a gastrectomy (removal of all or part of the stomach). Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia may also be associated with type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease, and a family history of the disease. What are the symptoms of megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia?

Site Map Related Resources Within UMM Hematology Pediatric Oncology Blood Diseases Iron-Deficiency Anemia What is iron-deficiency anemia? The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Iron is needed to form hemoglobin. Iron is mostly stored in the body in the hemoglobin. About 30 percent of iron is also stored as ferritin and hemosiderin in the bone marrow, spleen, and liver. What causes iron-deficiency anemia? Iron-deficiency anemia may be caused by the following: diets low in iron Iron is obtained from foods in our diet, however, only 1 mg of iron is absorbed for every 10 to 20 mg of iron ingested. A person unable to have a balanced iron-rich diet may suffer from some degree of iron-deficiency anemia. body changes An increased iron requirement and increased red blood cell production is required when the body is going through changes such as growth spurts in children and adolescents, or during pregnancy and lactation. gastrointestinal tract abnormalities Malabsorption of iron is common after some forms of gastrointestinal surgeries. Most of the iron taken in by foods is absorbed in the upper small intestine. Any abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract could alter iron absorption and result in iron-deficiency anemia.

As with most vitamins and minerals , food is often the best source. But even if you eat exceptionally well (that means a diet loaded with vegetables, fruits, and fiber, and low in saturated fat), you'll have a hard time getting enough iron. It's another reason to take prenatal vitamins, which should provide the extra insurance you need. How would I know whether I'm iron-deficient? The routine blood tests you take throughout your pregnancy will verify whether your hemoglobin levels are normal. Even if you're not anemic, or iron-deficient, early on, you may become so later, which is why it's common for iron supplements to be prescribed at some point during pregnancy. Are some women at greater risk of developing anemia?

Palabra a Buscar. Principio Considesraciones Causas Tratamiento ... Cuidados ANEMIA FERROPÉNICA La anemia no es una enfermedad sino una indicación de otro problema; por eso es importante detectar la causa. En general la causa es simple y las reservas de hierro pueden volver a su nivel normal mediante una dieta o toman suplementos de hierro. Sin embargo, la anemia puede ser síntoma de algo más serio, como una hemorragia intestinal. Por tanto la anemia ferropénica nunca debe ser ignorada. Este tipo de anemia ocurre ante la ausencia del hierro necesario para producir hemoglobina, la proteína de los glóbulos rojos que transporta el oxígeno por todo el cuerpo. Normalmente el cuerpo tiene suficientes reservas de hierro, siendo los glóbulos rojos una fuente importante de hierro. Los glóbulos rojos viven unos 120 días, y al morir, el hierro que contienen es reabsorbido por el organismo. CONSIDERACIONES Si tiene síntomas de anemia, además de problemas de movimiento, equilibrio o memoria, consulte a su doctor inmediatamente.

Anemia ANEMIA ANEMIATYPES AND CAUSES Many disease conditions are associated with thyroid diseases, but of all these diseases, the one with the highest association is anemia. I read one study which indicated that about one half of all hyperthyroids had clinically diagnosed anemia. It's possible, and to me quite likely, that the other half were also anemic but not diagnosed because they had copper-deficiency anemia and not iron-deficiency anemia. Anemia is usually caused by a deficiency of hemoglobin which is the oxygen carrying molecule in the red blood cell. While many minerals are important in the body's manufacture of hemoglobin, iron and copper are the most important. A deficiency of either iron or copper will result in anemia, either iron-deficiency anemia or copper-deficiency anemia. Anemia is often medically diagnosed by determining blood levels of iron and the iron-carrying protein ferritin. This test will determine anemia if the anemia is due to iron deficiency. However, this test will not show if the person has copper-deficiency anemia. It seems that many doctors are unaware of copper-deficiency anemia and will try to correct all cases of anemia by prescribing very large doses of iron. Since the majority of cases of anemia are probably the result of iron deficiency, then this procedure usually works. However, in copper-deficiency anemia, taking excess amounts of iron will further deplete copper and cause the anemia to worsen. This exact scenario has happened to more than one person in our group.

Katy's Story Katelyn Rose Hubbell turned four years old on June 26th 1997, and had a big party at her home in Fisher, Illinois. She was a happy, healthy little girl, until July 11, 1997 when she was diagnosed with a life threatening bone marrow failure disease called Severe Aplastic Anemia. In case you didn't know, bone marrow is the soft spongy material inside your bones that is home to stem cells. Stem Cells are the little factories that produce the three types of blood cells, that along with a liquid called plasma, makes up your blood. In people with Aplastic Anemia, the stem cells are damaged and unable to produce enough blood cells to keep the patient alive. There are three main types of blood cells. White blood cells fight infection by "eating" bacteria and viruses that enter the body. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to organs and tissues throughout the body.

Great Results Turn Skeptic Into Believer Nurse Marie Kancer of Ancaster, Ontario, wasn’t a believer — at first. Marie had suffered from anemia off and on since childhood. In 1997, she’d been on a high dose of iron supplements for more than two years, but she still felt tired all the time. When she ran out of iron supplements at one point, she was skeptical but gave Relìv Now® nutritional supplement a try, even though it contained only a quarter of the iron she had been taking. She noticed a significant increase in energy and found herself sleeping more soundly in a matter of a few weeks. Marie and her doctor were amazed at her next appointment to find that her hemoglobin was at its highest level in more than two years. She started going to Relìv meetings and listening to other people’s positive health stories. But her skepticism lingered. She went off Relìv Now for a week, and the fatigue returned. “It can’t possibly be this product,” she thought. But she started taking it again, and her energy returned. “It was a real answer to prayers — I learned that I could have good health,” Marie says. “When something good has been shown to you, you feel a responsibility to show it to others. And that’s what I wanted to do.” She became a Distributor only months after discovering Relìv.

anemia By Adam Brochert, MD Anemia is a condition in which red blood cells or the hemoglobin (a protein) in red blood cells is abnormally low. What is going on in the body? Hemoglobin helps red blood cells carry and deliver oxygen to the rest of the body. The amount of hemoglobin and number of red blood cells can be decreased by many different conditions. Anemia results in a decreased ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissues of the body, which often causes symptoms. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Signs and symptoms depend on the cause of the anemia. Mild anemia may cause few or no symptoms. Common signs and symptoms include: paleness of the skin, inside of the mouth, and eyes, also called pallor fatigue or tiredness weakness reduced ability to exercise increased heart rate with activity an abnormal awareness of the heartbeat, called palpitations , which may be unusually hard or fast shortness of breath or breathlessness loss of appetite chest pain mental changes, including memory loss confusion , and depression delayed growth and development in children What are the causes and risks of the condition?

The equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) is categorized as a retrovirus: it contains genetic RNA material, which it uses to produce DNA. This DNA is then incorporated into the genetic makeup of infected cells. Identified in France in 1843 and first tentatively diagnosed in the United States in 1888, EIA has commanded a great deal of attention over the years. There is no vaccine or treatment for the disease. It is often difficult to differentiate from other fever-producing diseases, including anthrax, influenza, and equine encephalitis.

You are browsing: Aplastic Anemia Aplastic anemia is a clinical syndrome caused by a variety of etiological factors (some of them are unknown) which lead to hematopoietic disorder of bone marrow. Clinically, it is characterized by panhematopenia resulting in anemia, hemorrhage and infections. The disease often occurs in young adults. It is more common in males than in female. In TCM, it is categorized as "xu lao" (consumptive disease), "xue zheng" (blood trouble), etc. Main Points of Diagnosis According to the clinical features and pictures of bone marrow, the disease can be divided into two types¡ªacute and chronic. 1. Acute aplastic anemia: The onset is abrupt with rapid progress of the disease. There are marked symptoms of anemia, hemorrhage and infection, particularly symptoms of severe and extensive bleeding. Intracranial hemorrhage is the leading cause of death. 2.Chronic aplastic anemia: The onset of the disease is slow, and the course is persistent. Anemia is the major symptom, while the symptoms of hemorrhage and infection are relatively mild and easy to be controlled.

Products This paper is for information only. It represents the observations, views and opinions of the author, but is not a recommendation for treatment. Anyone reading it should consult his/her physician before considering treatment. Anemia is a very common disorder, especially in young women. The low blood concentration of hemoglobin results in diminished transport of oxygen in the body, which can cause a number of problems. This is commonly treated with iron supplements because iron is required for the synthesis of hemoglobin. I would like to briefly present an additional insight into how the treatment might be greatly enhanced. To do this, I will combine information presented in three Health Notes: 1) Crohn's Disease Info, 2) DMSO and 3) Vitamin B12 Deficiency. DMSO Alone 1) The Health Note on Crohn's Disease presents the case for DMSO enhancing transferrin receptor sites and thus enhancing the transport of iron from the intestine to the bone marrow where hemoglobin is synthesized. If this transport system is weak, then iron supplements alone will not reverse the anemia because the iron won't get to the bone marrow where it is used. If this is the limiting step in an individual, causing the anemia, and if the theory is correct, DMSO would help to overcome it.
