Tests of Anemia
-
Definition: Hemoglobinemia is lower than normal for age and sex
The most common types of anemia:
Iron deficiency anemia
Anemia caused by red blood cell breakage
Anemia due to bone marrow dysfunction
Some tumors cause anemia in different stages
Severity of anemia:
Hemoglobin A protein whose function is to transport blood gases "oxygen from lungs to tissues, carbon dioxide from tissue to lungs"
The cells need oxygen to manufacture the energy needed to do their job >> So oxygen depletion leads to a lack of energy leads to dysfunction in tissues and organs
Anemia sufferer suffers from persistent headaches, tiredness and exhaustion after performing his or her usual functions, loss of focus during study or recall, intense heartbeat "as compensation for oxygen deficiency by pumping more red blood cells" << which may cause deterioration and Myocardial failure
Note: Anemia is a serious disease that should not be underestimated. Luckily, our body has many mechanisms that can compensate for hemoglobin deficiency. It may reach no symptoms until the hemoglobin is less than 1/2 the normal rate for age and sex.
