Shortage of red blood cells in the blood is referred to as anemia. There are many different causes of anemia such as bleeding, iron deficiency, hemolysis, chronic diseases, immune, etc.
It is called anemia and it can be caused due to genetical or other means

Are enlarged red blood cells due to inflammation as well as B12 deficiency?

Enlarged red blood cells can be caused by both inflammation and B12 deficiency. Inflammation can disrupt the normal process of red blood cell production in the bone marrow, leading to larger cells. On the other hand, B12 deficiency can impair DNA synthesis in red blood cell production, resulting in larger cells known as megaloblasts.


What does the medical abbreviation RDW mean?

Red Cell Distribution WidthRDW = Red cell Distribution Width. A measure in variation of the sizes of the Erythocytes (red blood cells)RDW stands for red cell distribution width. It is a measure of the variability of the size (volume) of red cells. Red cells of uniform size--no matter what that size is--will have a low RDW. A population of cells which vary greatly in size will have a high RDW. Another name for variability in red cell size is anisocytosis. In both thallasemia and iron deficiency anemia, the average cell size (measured as MCV, mean corpuscular volume) is low. But in iron deficiency anemia, unlike thallasemia, the RDW is increased.Red Cell Distribution Width in PercentageRed-Blood Cell Distribution Width

What is other name of anaemia?

What is the medical name for iron deficiency?

Iron deficiency affects the formation of blood cells, especially the red blood cells. If they get low in number it is called anemia.


What will happens if your red blood cell increased is there any cure with it?

If your red blood cells increased do to absence o deficiency o B12, you end up with anemia Megaloblastic. It is a defect in DNA synthesis due to B12 and folic acid deficiency that stops red blood cells on G2 face, and leads to a continuing cell growth. Treatment is with B12 and folic acid, of course. Your red bloods cell may increase due to poison of the DNA by substance like azthiprine o trimethoprim.


Why are adolescent girls and woman more likely to suffer from iron deficiency?

What two substance is needed for normal red blood cell maturation?

Normal red blood cell maturation requires vitamin B12 and folate (vitamin B9). These nutrients are essential for DNA synthesis and cell division, which are critical processes in the development of red blood cells from their precursor cells in the bone marrow. A deficiency in either of these substances can lead to impaired red blood cell production and conditions such as megaloblastic anemia.


What is meant by sangobion?

Sangobion is a brand name for a multivitamin and mineral supplement that is commonly used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It typically contains iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, which are important nutrients for red blood cell production.


Is sickle cell anemia an deficiency disease?

The sickle cell anaemia is not a deficiency disease. It is a hereditary disease caused by defective gene in both the parents.


Megaloblastic anemia results from a deficiency of?

Megaloblastic anemia results from a deficiency of vitamin B12 or folic acid, both of which play a crucial role in DNA synthesis and red blood cell production. This deficiency leads to the production of abnormally large and immature red blood cells, causing anemia.
