The most common way that people get a blood disease is through genes although you can also get blood disease from certain medications, lack of nutrients in your diet and just not eating healthy.
To cure blood disease and blood disorders, you must undergo high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation.
This requires a match between the recipient and donor immune system, but ~30% of patients do not have a match.
The deadliest blood disease is acute myeloid leukemia or AML which is a deadly blood cancer.
The 5 blood diseases are anemia, hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Some rare blood diseases are.
Castleman disease and related disorders.
Gaucher disease and other lysosomal storage disorders.
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH)
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
Primary immunodeficiency and related disorders.
Common signs and symptoms of blood disease include.
Ruddy complexion and headaches.
Frequent weariness or shortness of breath.
Swollen lymph nodes.
Eating ice or other hard substances.
Taking a long time to stop bleeding.
Unexplained exhaustion.
Shortness of breath.
Dizziness or light-headedness.
Rapid heartbeat.
Muscle weakness.
Difficulty concentrating and remembering.
Paleness.
Common blood diseases and blood disorders include anemia, bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, blood clots, and blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Talking to your doctor is the first step to take if you believe you may have a blood condition.
Anemia represents the most common type of noncancerous blood disease and blood disorder.
Its estimated that about 3 million people in the U.S. have some type of anemia.
The autoimmune disease that attacks red blood cells is autoimmune hemolytic anemia which is a rare type of red blood cell disorder in which the antibodies directed against your own red blood cells cause them to burst which then leads to insufficient concentration in your blood.
You can get energy when anemic by taking iron supplements drinking water with iron such as well water if possible, eating foods high in iron which include lean meat and chicken, beans, dark leafy vegetables.
And you can also eat and drink foods and drinks that help the body absorb iron which include strawberries, orange juice and other fruits and vegetables that contain Vitamin C>
When you are anemic for a long time it puts you at an increased risk of developing heart failure and tachycardia and complications that affect the lungs and heart.
If anemia goes untreated it can put the person at risk of developing complications which can affect the lungs and even heart.
Untreated anemia can lead to heart failure or an abnormally fast heartbeat also called tachycardia.
When left untreated, iron-deficiency anemia and other forms of moderate to severe anemia can result in life threatening complications and, in some cases, death.
These life threatening complications occur because the organs cannot function properly when they do not receive enough oxygen.
The most common cause of anemia in the elderly is iron deficiency with or without blood loss and chronic disease and inflammation and also chronic kidney disease.
Anemia is considered a disability if the anemia is severe enough to prevent you from working.
Some people with anemia are able to work jobs without issues and others are not able to and can qualify for disability payments.
The 5 symptoms of anemia are headaches, feeling tired, loss of appetite and problems concentrating or thinking.
Other symptoms of anemia are numbness or tingling of hands and feet, irritability and feeling weak more often than normal or with exercise.
The autoimmune disease that causes anemia is Crohn disease as well as ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Anemia fatigue will feel like you're feeling wearing after shorter periods of exerting yourself as the body's cells are starved for oxygen.
Anemia can make you feel tired and lacking in energy (lethargic) which can result in you being less productive at work, and you may find it difficult to stay awake or not feel able to exercise regularly.
Anemia can cause bowel problems as there is a strong correlation between digestive issues and anemia which can vary depending on the kind of anemia you have.
It is common for an iron deficiency to present itself alongside uncomfortable gut symptoms like gas and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
While there is no evidence that supports that low iron levels directly cause GI symptoms, iron deficiency can often result from digestive disorders.
Chronic diseases that cause anemia are systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn disease and certain cancers such as Hodgkin disease and lymphoma.
Other infections such as HIV/AIDS< lung abscess, hepatitis, B or hepatitis C, osteomyelitis and bacterial endocarditis can also cause anemia.
Anemia does cause ataxia as x linked sideroblastic anemia and ataxia is a condition that is characterized by sideroblastic anemia which is a blood disorder and movement problems that is called ataxia.
The 3 major categories of anemia are macrocytic, normocytic and microcytic anemia.
The 2 types of anemia are Normocytic anemia and Microcytic anemia.
Microcytic anemia is when the red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin so they are smaller than usual.
In Normocytic anemia you have fewer red blood cells than usual and those red blood cells do not have the normal amount of hemoglobin.
The type of anemia that is associated with leukemia is Hypoproliferative anemia.
Leukemia begins in the bone marrow which means that it can lead to hypoproliferative leukemia.
The most serious type of anemia is aplastic anemia which is a rare life threatening anemia which occurs when your body does not make enough new blood cells.
The causes of aplastic anemia are being in contact with toxic chemicals, autoimmune diseases, certain medications and infections.
The four main types of anemia are hemo-lytic anemia, aplastic anemia, pernicious anemia and iron deficiency anemia.
The 5 symptoms of anemia are.
Pale Skin.
Shortness of breath.
Heart palpitations.
Cold hands and feet.
Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
You can be hospitalized for anemia if the anemia gets severe enough and you could require a blood transfusion, iron injections or IV iron therapy.
The causes of anemia include, chronic kidney disease, cancer, ulcerative colitis or rheumatoid arthritis, destruction of red blood cells earlier than normal that can be caused by immune system problems, certain medicines, Folate deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency and iron deficiency.
Anemia sometimes make you feel cold and it's very common to feel cold with anemia as well as have tiredness and weakness when there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry the proper amount of oxygen to your body's organs.
When you have anemia you'll feel like you're tired, weak and you may experience shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness and irregular heartbeat.
You can tell if you're anemic by having a blood test done to check for low iron levels in your blood.
Looking out for the signs and symptoms of being anemic can also tell you if you may be anemic or not.
