What is iron deficient erythropoiesis?
It means that you should be getting more iron in your diet.The human body conserves iron by recycling iron from old red blood cells to make hemoglobin for new red blood cells. However, a constant intake of new iron is required for optimum health.Low iron levels may be caused by inadequate intake, by poor absorption, by parasites within the body, or by medical conditions that cause undiagnosed internal bleeding (polyps, ulcers). Those who give blood, or women who have excessive menstrual bleeding, or women who are pregnant or lactating may develop iron deficiency. There are also some medical conditions that prevent proper absorption of iron. Untreated, deficiency can lead to anemia.Anemia is characterized by under-developed red blood cells that lack sufficient hemoglobin, reducing their oxygen-carrying capacity.Symptoms of iron deficiency may include :fatigueloss of staminasusceptibility to infectionshair lossdizzinessheadachesbrittle nailsdecreased mental concentration, apathy, or depression.* Iron deficiency in children is associated with learning disabilities and lower IQs.An unusual neurological reaction to low iron is the behavioral abnormality called pica.
