Can you die from radiation therapy?
Yes, in rare cases, excessive radiation therapy can cause serious side effects that may lead to death. It is important for patients to discuss the risks and benefits of radiation therapy with their healthcare provider.
What determines the treatment of hemolytic anemia?
Treatment will depend on the cause of the anemia, and may involve treatment of the underlying cause.
What is the best way to treat iron deficiency anemia?
Treatment for iron-deficiency anemia will depend on its cause and severity. Treatments may include dietary changes and supplements, medicines, and surgery. Severe iron-deficiency anemia may require a blood transfusion, iron injections, or intravenous (IV) iron therapy. Treatment may need to be done in a hospital. The goals of treating iron-deficiency anemia are to treat its underlying cause and restore normal levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, and iron.
Does fever cause high iron in blood?
No. Anemia does not causes high fever. High fever may cause anemia like in malaria.
What is the Medical term for the cause?
Hospital caused anemia may be termed iatrogenic anemia or nosocomial anemia. It results from too many blood draws.
Is the cause of anemia the same in all cases?
No. Laboratory signs indicating anemia vary with the underlying cause or type of anemia. it may include abnormal hemoglobin concentrations in the blood and a reduced hematocrit level.
What cause a low polymorphs?
Infection could cause a low polymorphs or white blood cell count. Other causes may include vitamin deficiencies, certain medications, hypersplenism or radiation therapy.
Is radiation therapy used to shrink cysts in the brain that are benign?
Radiation therapy is generally not used to shrink benign brain cysts, as these cysts often do not require treatment unless they cause symptoms or complications. Instead, observation and monitoring are typically the preferred approaches. In cases where a cyst is symptomatic or causes significant issues, surgical intervention may be considered rather than radiation therapy. Radiation is more commonly utilized for malignant tumors or conditions that pose a greater risk.
Can radiation cause costochondritis?
There is no direct link between radiation exposure and costochondritis. Costochondritis is typically caused by inflammation in the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone. However, radiation therapy can sometimes lead to inflammation in the chest area, which may present similar symptoms to costochondritis.
What cause a low polymorphs count?
Infection could cause a low polymorphs or white blood cell count. Other causes may include vitamin deficiencies, certain medications, hypersplenism or radiation therapy.
Why is radiation therapy sometimes applied during a pancreatectomy?
Radiation therapy may also be applied during the surgery (intraoperatively) to improve the patient's chances of survival, but this treatment is not yet in routine use.
Why geometric accuracy is important in radiation therapy?
Geometric accuracy is important in radiation therapy as if the beam misses the target volume, the target volume will be underdosed, and the surrounding tissues and/or organs at risk may receive too high a dose of radiation.
