Can anemia caused by blood loss or iron deficiency turn into anything serious?
yes. Fe is essential for production of haemoglobin. Deficiency of iron causes microcytic hypochromic. This leads to anaemic hypoxia, also cyanosis.
What is treatment for macrocytic anemia?
Macrocytic anemia is a condition where the red blood cells are larger than they should be. They are usually larger and there usually is a lower number than there should be.
What causes red blood cells?
Anemia has multiple causes, the most common of which are 1) iron deficiency anemia, and 2) blood loss anemia. There are many, many other causes, as well.
What are the various type of anamia?
Anemia can be categorized into several types based on its underlying causes. The main types include iron-deficiency anemia, which results from insufficient iron; vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, caused by a lack of vitamin B12; and folate deficiency anemia, linked to insufficient folate intake. Other types include aplastic anemia, where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells, and hemolytic anemia, characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells. Additionally, anemia can be classified by the size of red blood cells, such as microcytic, macrocytic, and normocytic anemia.
What causes iron deficiency anemia in developing countries?
In developing countries located in tropical climates, the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia is infestation with hookworm.

Why does mensuration stop in a young women?
The most common causes of young women not menstruating is malnutrition, anemia, and/or low body weight.
Can anemia lead to oedema?
anemia causes increased production of vascular endothelial relaxing factor that causes dilatation of the vasculature producing oedema.
PATHOPHYSiology of iron deficiency anemia?
Iron deficiency develops in several stages. In the first stage, body iron requirement exceeds iron intake, causing progressive depletion of bone marrow iron stores. As iron reservoirs decrease, compensatory increases in absorption of dietary iron occur. During later stages, deficiency is severe enough to impair red blood cell biosynthesis, leading to anemia. Iron deficiency, if severe and prolonged, may cause dysfunction of iron-containing cellular enzymes, which may contribute to fatigue and loss of stamina via mechanisms independent of the anemia itself. Iron deficiency anemia must be differentiated from other types of microcytic anemia, such as anemia caused by deficient erythropoiesis or decreased red blood cell production due to other underlying causes. If tests exclude iron deficiency in a patient with microcytic anemia, then anemia of chronic disease, structural hemoglobin abnormalities (e.g., hemoglobinopathies), and congenital red blood cell membrane abnormalities are considered. Clinical laboratory studies of hemoglobin electrophoresis and HbA 2, as well as genetic testing (e.g., alpha-thalassemia), may help distinguish these entities.
What causes anemia after cardiac surgery?
If you had a great blood loss during the surgery, then this could of caused the Anemia.
