Causes and treatment of Anemia, Medicine and Nutrition

 Anemia

Anemia, is a common medical condition characterized by a low number of red blood cells or a low level of hemoglobin in the blood. Anemia is one of the most common diseases in the world, affecting millions of people around the world. The lack of red blood cells causes tiredness, fatigue, dizziness, lack of concentration, and the inability to carry on with daily activities normally. Deficiency of blood can occur in the human body for several reasons, including iron deficiency, anemia resulting from a deficiency of vitamin BSD or folic acid, or due to congenital anemia. Treatment of anemia requires identification of the underlying cause and necessary treatment. Treatment usually includes changes in diet, vitamins and minerals, and sometimes medication.

Causes of anemia:

The lack of red cells in the blood or the lack of hemoglobin is due to several reasons, the most prominent of which are:

3. Sickle cell anemia: This is a genetic disorder that affects the making of red blood cells.

4. Blood loss: Blood loss can cause anemia, whether as a result of an injury or bleeding.

5. Autoimmune disorders: Some autoimmune diseases can cause sickle cell anemia, a condition in which red blood cells in the human body are destroyed by mistake.

6. Exposure to toxins: Some toxic substances and heavy metals can cause anemia.
