Anemia

Here is a website that I found that has the geographical distribution shown on a map:

Why reticulocyte is increase in haemolytic anaemia?

Anaemia: Caused by iron deficiency, iron is used for making red blood cells & in the body's use of oxygen. Symptoms include fatigue & lack of energy, weakness & brittle fingernails. People of Asian origin may be more at risk of becoming anaemic as a traditional Asian diet maight not provide enough iron. x

A rare disorder that causes the bone marrow to manufacture abnormally small red blood cells, vitamin C deficiency anemia results from a severe, long-standing dietary deficiency.

1. iron deficiency
2. folic acid deficiency
3. vitamin b12 deficiency
4. vitamin c deficiency
5. autoimmune induced hemolytic anemia
6. due to chronic infection
7. some inherited causes like thalasemia and sickle cell anemia
8. acute like surgery and chronic blood lose like stomach ulcer

no

In developing countries located in tropical climates, the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia is infestation with hookworm.

Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a defective gene that produces an abnormal form of hemoglobin which is called hemoglobin S. And this gene is particularly common in Western Africa and people of Western African Ancestry. An estimated 8 to 12 percent of all African Americans carry the sickle-cell gene.

bordeline of macrocytic anemia, which could be a folic acid deficiency, liver disease,

hereditary spherocytes or B-12 deficiency

Of coare yes. You can get any hemoglobinopathy from a parent without any connection to other hemoglobinopathy (or any other hereditary disease) from the other parent.

Aplastic Anemia is a very serious condition. If you are diagnosed with this it would mean that your blood cells are attacking your bone marrow. You may need a marrow transplant.

The doctor says I have anemia due to an iron deficiency and prescribed iron meds. Also told me to eat things like spinache and other leafy veggies..best to ask Doctor or Physician Assistant

Sickle cell anemia is a inherited blood disorder. This means everyone who has sickle cell has inherited it from their parents. With this in mind it means there was a key ancestor in Africa or the Mediterranean who had the first sickle cell anemia and passed it on to their descendants.

Pernicious anemia seems to run in families

iron deficiency anemia, polycythemia vera, pregnancy, blood loss, severe hepatitis, and the use of birth control pills.

Sideroblastic anemia is a disease of adults.

Chronic Anemia is something that is either long-lasting or develops slowly over time, while Acute Anemia occurs quickly. Symptoms for Chronic Anemia may be barely noticeable at first and gradually worsen, while Acute Anemia symptoms can be more noticeable and distressing due to their sudden appearance.

No it doesn't help you it affects you in every way... If you go out side you have to pile up with clothes even if its hot because if you get sick or get a minor cut you can get seriously ill.

Recessive traits like sickle cell disease can be relatively common in certain populations due to a phenomenon known as heterozygote advantage. Individuals with one copy of the sickle cell allele (heterozygotes) have some protection against malaria, which enhances their survival and reproductive success in malaria-endemic regions. This advantage allows the recessive allele to persist in the gene pool, even though individuals with two copies of the allele (homozygotes) may experience severe health issues. Therefore, the prevalence of such traits can be linked to environmental factors and selective pressures.

Technically anyone could get Sickle Cell. If one of your parents had a sickle cell anemia trait they could have passed it down to their child. If both of them had it then they definitly passed it down to their child. If a person is trying to find out if they have Sickle Cell Anemia then they should see someone who can conduct a pedigree. Or a gene tracer. This was taught to me in Science class a couple years ago so the information could not be completely accurate.
