Anemia: Low Red Blood Cell Count

Definition: Anemia is a common illness that afflicts many people all over the world. Anemia is Greek, meaning "bloodless". The definition of modern anemia is any symptom characterized by an abnormal decrease in total red blood cell mass. It is also defined as a state in which the person's red blood cells are less normal, very weak and tired. Causes of anemia: The cause of anemia is related to red blood cells (RBC). The reason for this is mainly due to red blood cell damage or increased red blood cell damage, caused by blood loss and fluid overload.

Anemia, low red blood cell count is a very common complication of liver cancer, which can be caused by several mechanisms including the lack of blood clotting factors in the blood. Anemia can be sinister at first, often causing fatigue, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, pale skin, dizziness. Since liver cancer can cause erythrocytosis (erythrocytosis), these effects can cancel each other out

Anemia is another cause of fatigue. The term anemia means less red blood cells. Red blood cells are involved in oxygen transport to peripheral tissues. Without sufficient oxygen, the patient will feel bored and tired. There are several types of anemia for various reasons, the most common forms are iron deficiency anemia and macrocytic anemia, which are usually caused by low vitamin B 12 or folic acid (see below). Anemia may also be caused by hemolysis (rupture of erythrocytes), chronic diseases and certain autoimmune diseases.

Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder affecting erythrocytes. Normal red blood cells are round. In people with sickle cell anemia, substances in hemoglobin - erythrocytes - become incomplete, changing the shape of erythrocytes. Defective hemoglobin called hemoglobin S (HgbS) replaces normal hemoglobin called hemoglobin A (HgbA). As time goes on, red blood cells become hard, shaped like crescent shaped satellites and sickles. In the United States, the disease is most common among African Americans (about 1 in 400 African Americans) and Caribbean Hispanics (1 in 1,000 to 1,400 Hispanics). The disease is seen all over the world in the Arab, Greek, Italian, Sardinian, Turkish, Maltese, South Asian breeds.
