Hemolytic anemia

Polycythemia simply stated, is an increase in the volume of red blood cells that is caused either by overstimulation of precursor cells in the normal production of red blood cells in the red bone marrow caused by a genetic mutation (Primary polycythemia), or by other disorders which affect blood oxygen levels and the feedback response that governs red blood cell production (Secondary polycythemia) (McCance, 2014). Primary and Secondary polycythemias are both forms of absolute polycythemia. Polycythemia

The purpose of this essay is to determine the type of anemia that Ms. A most likely has based on her preliminary workup. Ms. A’s anemia will be discussed including potential side effects and cases. Finally, recommendations for improving Ms. A’s anemia will be discussed. Anemia is a condition that effects “more than 3 million people in the United States” (Peterson, 2012). Anemia is a decrease in red blood cells (RBCs) or decreased hemoglobin in an individual’s blood. RBCs carry oxygen rich blood

Abstract: Aplastic anemia is a rare haemopoetic stem-cell disorder that stems from hypocellular bone marrow, and pancytopenia, which is a medical condition in which there is a reduction in the number of red and white blood cells, as well as platelets (Osnat et.al 2014). If only two parameters from the full blood count are low, the term bicytopenia can be used. The diagnostic approach is the same as for pancytopenia. Previous studies have shown that most patients with acquired aplastic anemia had decreased

Anemia is a disorder when you don't have enough strong red blood cells to export a passable amount of oxygen to your tissues. Anemia might make you feel weary and frail depending on the conditions of your body. There are many different types of anemia, each with its own dangerous cause. The loss of blood in your body is the most common cause of anemia. Anemia can be brief or a long period of time, and it can vary from mild to severe affects. Medical treatments for anemia vary from taking additions

Iron Deficiency Anemia, Adult Iron-deficiency anemia is when you have a low amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin because you have too little iron in your body. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to parts of the body. Anemia can cause your body to not get enough oxygen. It may or may not cause symptoms. HOME CARE Medicines • Take over-the-counter and prescription medicines only as told by your doctor. This includes iron pills (supplements) and vitamins. • If you cannot handle taking iron pills by

My topic for this paper is aplastic anemia. I intend to discuss the definition of aplastic anemia, pathophysiology of the disease, statistics, signs and symptoms, diagnoses, treatment, and prognosis. Aplastic anemia is a rare and potentially life threatening syndrome. It is characterized by pancytopenia (reduction of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) and hypo-plastic bone marrow. Aplastic anemia is also called bone marrow failure (Cabrera & Schiebel, 2015). The body doesn’t make

Cumin and its medicinal uses Cumin- The spice with a magic wand Cumin is a flowering plant which belongs to the family Apiaceae. It is native from east Mediterranean to East India. In India Cumin is called by a different name called ‘jeera’ or ‘jira’. The spice is native to Arabic-speaking Syria where cumin thrives in its hot and arid lands. The use of cumin is very common in Indian and Pakistani foods. In India, cumin seeds are an important component of curry powder and garam masala. Besides

Hereditary Spherocytosis, Pediatric Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a type of anemia that can be passed along from parent to child (inherited). Anemia is the condition of not having enough healthy red blood cells in the body. Red blood cells are made in spongy tissue inside of bones (bone marrow) and they carry oxygen in the blood. Normal red blood cells are disc-shaped and flexible. This allows them to flow through small blood vessels easily. Children who have HS have red blood cells that are

Ms. Blake ABG means she has an uncompensated metabolic acidosis with a positive anion. This means she has an acidosis associated with an anion other than chloride. The anion gap measures the difference between an anions and a non-anion in serum (Kraut & Nagami. 2013). The test is routinely performed in patients with known acidosis, altered mental status, unknown exposures, acute renal failure, and acute illnesses. In Ms. Blake’s situation, her pH is less than 7.30, and her HCO3- is less than 24mEq/L

BETA THALASSAEAMIA Beta-thalassemia is known as one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders around the world (Coa et al, 2010). This condition is seen the most in populations of Central Asia, Mediterranean, Far East Indian subcontinent and populations of African descent. When it comes to the highest incidence, the island of Sardinia in Italy (12%), Cyprus (14%) and South East Asia are amongst the highest (Coa et al, 2010). Population, which have high gene frequency of beta- thalassemia
