anemia as a result of blood loss from a stomach ulcer should begin with medications to heal the ulcer. Likewise, surgery is often necessary to remove a colon cancerthat is causing chronic blood loss and anemia.
Anemia is common and associated with adverse outcomes in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many factors contribute to declining hemoglobin as CKD
Anemia is common in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the prevalence of this comorbidity increases with advancing CKD stage, affecting nearly all children treated with chronic dialysis. The primary causes of anemia in CKD are erythropoietin (EPO) deficiency/dysregulation, and iron defic...
There are several clues on the lab work an in the patient’s physical appearance that tell us that additional therapy is needed to control this kind of blood loss. Horrendous inflammation in the mouth (odor, bloody or purulent drool, sticky discharge on the lips and chin) includes ulceratio...
Hypoxia-inducible factor–prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) are a promising new class of orally administered drugs currently in late-stage global clinical development for the treatment of anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD). HIF-PHIs activate the HIF oxygen-sensing pathway and are...
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia worldwide, caused by insufficient iron due to decreased supply, increased loss, or increased demand.
Patients with anemia on admission were significantly older, more often women, more likely to be farmers and had a higher prevalence of diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cerebral infarction, whereas their counterparts were more frequently to be current smokers and more likely to have...
Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and thalassemia are to be considered as differential diagnoses. Disorders of vitamin B12 and folic acid metabolism are clinically the most important causes of hyperchromic-macrocytic anemia. The normochromic-normocytic group includes most forms of anemias. In these ...
Anemia of Chronic Disease Chronic Illness and Infection In addition to dietary factors, chronic illness and infection may lead to anemia by decreasing the amount of red blood cells that the body makes. This results in a small drop in hemoglobin levels. Health factors including cancer, inflammatory...
37 The process of immunosenescence has been shown to result in increased vulnerability to infectious diseases as well as to susceptibility of inflammation-associated pathologies in connection with, eg, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, or diabetes mellitus.2,4,38 A ...
