Diseases of the blood (hematology)

Hemolytic anemia in adults

At the end of their normal life (-120 days), red blood cells are removed from the bloodstream. Hemolysis prematurely destroys and as a result shortens the life span of erythrocytes (<120 days).

Megaloblastic anemia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Megaloblast anemia is the result of a deficiency of vitamin B12 and folic acid. Ineffective hematopoiesis affects all cell lines, but in particular erythroid.

Anemia in myelofitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Anemia in myelofthisis is normochromic-normocytic and develops when infiltration or replacement of the normal bone marrow space by non -hematopoietic or abnormal cells.

Aplastic anemia (hypoplastic anemia): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Aplastic anemia (hypoplastic anemia) - normochromic-normocytic anemia, is the result of depletion of the reserve of hematopoiesis precursors, which leads to bone marrow hypoplasia, a decrease in the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets

Hypoproliferative anemia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Hypoproliferative anemia is the result of a deficiency of erythropoietin (EPO) or a decrease in its response; they are, as a rule, normochromic and normocytic

Anemia in chronic illness: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Anemia in chronic disease (anemia due to a violation of iron reutilization) is multifactorial and is often accompanied by iron deficiency.

Sideoblastic anemia

Sideoblastic anemia due to impaired iron utilization and, as a rule, are part of myelodysplastic syndrome, normocytic-normochromic anemia with a high red blood cell scatter by volume (RDW) or microcyto-hypochromic anemia with elevated serum iron, ferritin and saturation of transferrin.

Iron-deficiency anemia

Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia and is usually due to blood loss
