Anemia falciforme La hemoglobina de los glóbulos rojos es la que lleva el oxígeno desde los pulmones a todas partes del cuerpo. La hemoglobina principal de los glóbulos rojos de quienes padecen anemia falciforme es diferente de la hemoglobina común. Los glóbulos rojos que contienen hemoglobina normal son redondos y flexibles. Pero cuando los glóbulos rojos de las personas afectadas con esta enfermedad liberan el oxígeno, la anomalía de la hemoglobina hace que las células se endurezcan y se deformen, a menudo hasta tener la forma de una letra C, como una hoz. Los glóbulos falciformes tienden a quedar atrapados y a ser destruidos en el hígado y en el bazo. Como consecuencia, se produce una falta de glóbulos rojos, o anemia, la cual, en casos graves, puede provocar palidez, dificultades respiratorias y cansancio. Hay factores, como el agrandamiento del bazo y algunas infecciones, que pueden empeorar la anemia al acelerar el proceso de destrucción de glóbulos rojos. Las infecciones también pueden provocar una reducción en la producción de glóbulos rojos. Existen varios tipos de anemia falciforme. Los tipos más comunes suelen denominarse SS (cuando el niño hereda dos genes de glóbulos falciformes; la "S" proviene del inglés "sickle"), SC (cuando hereda un gen de glóbulos falciformes y un gen de otro tipo anormal de hemoglobina llamado "C") y S con talasemia beta-cero (cuando hereda un gen de glóbulos falciformes y un gen de un tipo de talasemia, otro tipo de anemia hereditaria). Los efectos de la anemia falciforme varían enormemente de una persona a otra. Algunas personas afectadas, casi nunca parecen enfermarse, mientras otras necesitan ser hospitalizadas con frecuencia.

Anemia What is anemia? Anemia is having too few red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body. How do the doctors know if my baby has anemia? Two laboratory tests, HEMATOCRIT and HEMOGLOBIN, are used to determine red blood cells in blood. The value for the hematocrit is usually about three times larger than the hemoglobin. How do my baby's doctors know if my baby is making blood? A blood test called the RETICULOCYTE COUNT measures the percent of newly made red blood cells. Why do premature babies get anemic? They become anemic because: their red blood cells have a shorter life than red blood cells of adults. This may be exaggerated if the baby's blood type is different than the mother's. they make few new red blood cells in the first few weeks of life blood is taken from the baby to do necessary laboratory tests. This is the most common reason for premature infants to need transfusions or treatment for anemia. How is anemia treated? Anemia is usually treated by transfusions of red blood cells obtained from the blood bank. This is the only way to increase the number of red blood cells rapidly. Anemia can also be treated by erythropoietin. This is a drug similar to the substance the body normally produces to increase the number of red blood cells. It works slowly over days to weeks. It is not useful if the anemia needs to be treated more rapidly.

It exists when hemoglobin content is less than that required to provide the oxygen demands of the body. It is not possible to state that anemia exists when the hemoglobin is less than a specific value. If the onset of anemia is slow, the body may adjust so well that there will be on functional impairment, even though the hemoglobin may be less than 6 gm/100 ml of blood.

Anemia by Dr. Elisabeth Snead, DVM My pet is anemic. What does this mean ? Anemia is a condition where there is an abnormally low number of RBC (red blood cells - the cells responsible for transporting oxygen round the body) and/or a deficiency in hemoglobin (the pigment inside RBC that oxygen binds to). RBC are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the blood for about 120 days in cats and dogs before they are destroyed again in the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. What causes Anemia? In simple terms there are three basic causes of anemia: blood loss due to hemorrhage (bleeding), accelerated destruction of RBC in the body, or decreased production of RBC by the bone marrow. Some specific causes of anemia are as follows: - reaction to certain therapeutic drugs - infectious agents such as canine Ehrlichiosis (tick fever), hemobartonellla, or FIV - blood-loss from trauma or blood clotting disorder - parasites such as ticks or intestinal hookworms - an immune mediated disease where the body attacks its own RBC - cancer affecting any organ - any chronic disease process - toxins (zinc pennies, onions, etc.)

As a veterinarian, I have known for many years thatonions, whether fresh, cooked or dehydrated, can cause anemia in pets. http://www.monkeymaddness.com/articles/onions.html

ANEMIA CAUSED BY ONIONS Written by Margaret A. Wissman (This article was in the Simian, the SSA's monthly newsletter, some time ago.) As a veterinarian, I have known for many years that onions, whether fresh, cooked or dehydrated, can cause anemia in pets. I remember reading a case report years ago concerning a small dog that ate a good portion of a bag of fresh, whole onions one day while his owner was at work, and the dog was near death when discovered by his frantic owner. However, I continually read stories (including one in the most recent Simian Society Newsletter) about owners feeding onions to their monkeys, and I realize that most people have no idea of the dangers of feeding onions. So, I thought it would be a good idea to educate owners about onions. Let's now cut through all this medical jargon. What exactly does happen when onions are consumed? Simply put, onions cause red blood cells to become unable to function properly, then causing them to rupture. This cause anemia. What clinical signs will occur with onion toxicosis? The signs that you see will depend on the amount of onions consumed, the length of time they have been fed, and the size of the animal. Gums (mucous membranes) may appear pale if there is moderate or severe anemia/ If lots of RBCs have ruptured, there may be hemoglobin in the urine, causing it to appear reddish or brown, or the tissues may become jaundiced. Weakness, depression, rapid heart rate and rapid respiratory rate may be observed as a result of there not being enough oxygen reaching the tissues (hypoxia). Vomiting, decreased appetite and diarrhea may also occur. Blood tests taken by your veterinarian will show certain characteristics. Heinz-bodies can be seen on blood smears and the packed cell volume will be decreased, indicating anemia. As the body tries to replace the damaged blood cells, certain characteristics may also be seen in the blood. Hemoglobin may be seen in the urine.

Home Index to Patient Education Amniocentesis Anemia Antenatal Testing Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome Arthritis Asthma ... top of page Anemia in Pregnancy Description of Condition: Anemia occurs when the number of red blood cells is lower than expected. Red blood cells deliver oxygen to your body. There are many reasons why a person can be anemic. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common. Iron is needed to make red blood cells. When women loose blood, they also loose iron. If the iron is lost faster than it is replaced, there is not enough iron to make new red blood cells and iron deficiency anemia occurs. Iron is replaced by vitamin supplements or in the diet. Other vitamin deficiencies may also cause anemia. Chronic illness Destruction of blood cells Blood loss Abnormally formed blood cells. For example, patients with sickle cell anemia make abnormally shaped blood cells that are easily destroyed. Inherited abnormally low production of hemoglobin Hemoglobin is the chemical in the red blood cell that actually binds oxygen. People of certain ethnic backgrounds may not make enough hemoglobin.

Blood Stem Cell Transplantation Aplastic anemia is not a single disease, but a group of closely related disorders characterized by the failure of the bone marrow to produce all three types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Aplastic anemia is rare, affecting fewer than 1,000 people each year in the United States. The exact cause of aplastic anemia is unknown, although it has been linked to exposure to chemicals and radiation. It is also believed that some cases of aplastic anemia are inherited and that some cases are due to a viral infection. Symptoms/Diagnosis In aplastic anemia, the quantity of each of the three blood cell types is much lower than normal, which leads to the symptoms that cause a physician to suspect the disease. These symptoms are unexplained infections (due to fewer white blood cells), unexpected bleeding (due to fewer platelets) and fatigue (due to fewer red blood cells).

Advanced Search Ambulatory Management of Common Forms of Anemia DAVID R. LITTLE, M.D., M.S. Wright State University School of Medicine Dayton, Ohio Anemia is a prevalent condition with a variety of underlying causes. Once the etiology has been established, many forms of anemia can be easily managed by the family physician. Iron deficiency, the most common form of anemia, may be treated orally or, rarely, parenterally. Vitamin B deficiency has traditionally been treated with intramuscular injections, although oral and intranasal preparations are also available. The treatment of folate deficiency is straightforward, relying on oral supplements. Folic acid supplementation is also recommended for women of child-bearing age to reduce their risk of neural tube defects. Current research focuses on folate's role in reducing the risk of premature cardiovascular disease. A nemia is a common clinical syndrome frequently diagnosed and managed by the family physician. The prevalence of anemia in the United States has been reported to be about 29 to 30 cases per 1,000 females of all ages and six cases per 1,000 males under the age of 45, rising to a peak of 18.5 cases per 1,000 men over age 75. Anemia is defined as a reduction below normal in the total red blood cell volume (hematocrit) or in the concentration of blood hemoglobin.
