The document discusses different types of anemia including iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, hemolytic anemia, and aplastic anemia. It describes the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and potential complications if left untreated for each type. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type and can cause fatigue, dizziness, and pale skin. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to neurological symptoms over time if deficiencies are not addressed. The document provides an overview of the main types of anemia and their defining features.

JIPIJAPA -MANABI-ECUADOR THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK ANEMIA WHAT IS IT? Anemia is a condition that develops when the blood produces a lower-than-normal number of healthy red blood cells. If you have anemia, your body does not get enough oxygen-rich blood. Lack of oxygen can make you feel tired or weak. You may also have shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, or an irregular heartbeat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention external link, about 3 million people in the United States have anemia. If you have mild anemia, you may not have any symptoms. The symptoms of anemia can develop quickly or slowly, depending on the cause of the anemia. General symptoms, which are the same for many types of anemia, include the following: Weakness pallor Fatigue Shaking chills Difficulty breathing headache dizziness and fainting bleeding Jaundice or yellowing of the skin. Types of anemia Iron deficiency anemia Iron deficiency anemia is a type of anemia that develops when there is not enough iron in the body. It is the most common type of anemia. What are the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia? Symptoms People with mild or moderate iron deficiency anemia may not have any symptoms. More severe iron deficiency anemia can cause common symptoms of anemia such as tiredness, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Other symptoms include the following: fatigue Dizziness or lightheadedness cold hands and feet Pale skin Problems absorbing iron. Certain conditions or medications can decrease your body's ability to absorb iron and lead to iron deficiency anemia. These features include the following: Certain rare genetic conditions that block iron absorption in the intestines or make it difficult for bleeding to stop. Endurance sports, which can cause athletes to lose iron through their gastrointestinal tracts and through the breakdown of red blood cells. Intestinal and digestive conditions, such as celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Surgery on your stomach and intestines, including weight loss surgery.
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, also known as cobalamin deficiency, is a condition that develops when your body can't make enough healthy red blood cells because you don't have enough vitamin B12. Your body needs vitamin B12 to make healthy red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Since your body does not make vitamin B12, you must get it from the food you eat or from supplements. You may be deficient in vitamin B12 if you are unable to absorb it due to problems with your intestine or if you have pernicious anemia, which makes it difficult for you to absorb vitamin B12 from your intestines. Without enough vitamin B12, blood cells don't form properly inside your bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside your bones. These blood cells die earlier than normal, leading to anemia. What are the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency anemia? Symptoms If you have vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, you may have the typical symptoms of anemia at first, such as fatigue, paleness, shortness of breath, headaches, or dizziness. If left untreated, you may start to notice symptoms in your brain and nervous system. This is because vitamin B12 is also necessary for the brain and nerves to function properly. Your symptoms may include the following: Sensations of tingling or pain. walking problems uncontrollable muscle movements Confusion, slower thinking, forgetfulness, and memory loss. Mood or mental changes, such as depression or irritability. Problems with the sense of smell or taste Eye sight problems Diarrhea and weight loss Glossitis, which is a painful, smooth, red tongue How is vitamin B12 deficiency prevented? Prevention If you are in good health, it is important to maintain a normal diet enriched with vitamin B12. Foods that are good sources of vitamin B12 include the following: Lean red meat and chicken Fish, such as catfish and salmon; and shellfish, such as clams and oysters Fortified vegan milk, yogurt, cheese, and milk substitutes fortified cereals eggs hemolytic anemia
What it is? Hemolytic anemia is a blood condition that occurs when red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be replaced. Hemolytic anemia can develop quickly or slowly, and it can be mild or severe. What are the symptoms of hemolytic anemia? Symptoms Your symptoms may include tiredness, dizziness, weakness, and an enlarged spleen or liver. How is hemolytic anemia diagnosed? diagnosis To diagnose hemolytic anemia, your doctor will do a physical exam and order blood tests. Additional tests may include a urine test, bone marrow test, or genetic testing. What happens if hemolytic anemia is not treated? What if it's not treated People who have mild hemolytic anemia may not need treatment. Severe hemolytic anemia that is not treated or controlled can cause irregular heart rhythms, a heart that is larger than normal, and heart failure if the anemia becomes severe. What is aplastic anemia? What it is Despite its name, aplastic anemia, or bone marrow failure, is more than just anemia. Aplastic anemia is a rare but serious blood condition that occurs when the bone marrow cannot make enough new blood cells for the body to function normally. It can develop quickly or slowly, and it can be mild or severe. At this time, there is no way to prevent aplastic anemia.
What are the symptoms of aplastic anemia?
Symptoms Symptoms of aplastic anemia include the following: fatigue Infections that last a long time Bruising or bleeding easily How is aplastic anemia diagnosed? diagnosis To diagnose aplastic anemia, your doctor will order tests to find out if you have low numbers of cells in your bone marrow and blood. What happens if aplastic anemia is not treated? What if it's not treated Aplastic anemia can increase the risk of complications such as bleeding, leukemia, or other serious blood conditions. Without treatment, aplastic anemia can lead to serious medical conditions, including arrhythmia and heart failure. (1) Bibliography x
