ADAP Drugs: Erythropoeitin
Used to treat anemia associated with HIV infection or AZT therapy.(EPO, Epogen, Eprex, Procrit, epoetin alfa)
http://www.atdn.org/access/drugs/eryt.html

Extractions: Erythropoetin is used to treat anemia associated with HIV infection or AZT therapy. Anemia is a condition due to a low number of red blood cells. Erythropoetin is a natural hormone secreted by the kidneys that acts on the bone marrow to stimulate production of red blood cells. Recombinant EPO is a synthetic version of this hormone. EPO is approved for treatment of anemia in both AZT-treated HIV+ people, and people with chronic kidney failure. Ortho Biotech, who makes Procrit, has a Patient Assistance Program wich can be reached at (800) 553-3851). Side effects EPO is generally well tolerated. Side effects can include chest pain, swelling due to retention of fluid, fast heart beat, headache, high blood pressure, increase in number and concentration of circulating red blood cells, seizures, shortness of breath, skin rash, pain in joints, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, or flu-like syndrome after each dose.

Extractions: Ironically, the sickle cell trait (the heterozygous HgbSA - not the homozygous HgbSS) seems to have a protective effect against the malaria parasite. By the time many patients reach adulthood, there is often objective evidence of anatomic and/or functional damage to various tissues due to the cumulative effects of recurrent vasoocclusive (clotting) episodes. However, the course of the disease is variable from patient to patient. Learn More About Sickle Cell Anemia - 1 The first is most commonly seen only in sickle cell anemia. Marrow hyperplasia crowds and thins the bone trabeculae which results in bone weakness and osteoporosis. Bone softening at the centra of the vertebral bodies of the spine occurs in 70% of patients; a biconcave shape results as the intervertebral disks push into the softened bone. Infarction on the vertebral bodies may also result in partial or complete collapse of the central portion as well. The biconcave, or "fish mouth" vertebrae (due to compression of the vertebral endplates above and below the disk space) are virtually pathognomonic of sickle cell disease. Such changes are evident on the enclosed chest X-rays.

Article describing symptoms and treatments for anemia.

Extractions: What is Iron Deficiency Anemia? Iron Deficiency Anemia (also called IDA) is a condition where a person has inadequate amounts of iron to meet body demands. It is a decrease in the amount of red cells in the blood caused by having too little iron. IDA is usually caused by a diet insufficient in iron or from blood loss. Blood loss can be acute as in hemorrhage or trauma or long term as in heavy menstruation. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia. About 20% of women, 50% of pregnant women, and 3% of men are iron deficient. Iron deficiency anemia and sickle cell anemia are VERY DIFFERENT.

Extractions: Web posted at: 2:09 p.m. EDT (1809 GMT) From Medical Correspondent Rhonda Rowland ATLANTA (CNN) Researchers say children who might have died from inherited immune disorders or leukemia may be cured with umbilical cord blood transplants. Now scientists at Emory University Hospital have done the world's first "unrelated donor" cord blood transplant in a child with sickle cell anemia. Keone Penn of Snellville, Georgia, looks like a typical 12-year-old. But he has a severe cased of sickle cell anemia, an inherited disorder where red blood cells are abnormally shaped. "He had a stroke when he was 5 and he's been getting chronic blood transfusions ever since he had the stroke lots of fevers, infections, seizures," said his mother, Leslie Penn.

http://www.health-science.com/anemia.html

Extractions: pregnancy menopause pms progesterone ... index of diseases One of the most common disorders caused by nutritional deficiency is anemia due to an insufficiency of B-12. This nutrient has the largest molecular structure of any single vitamin and consequently presents a serious absorption problem. The typical approaches to treating anemia are to administer large dosages of ferrous sulfate (iron sulfate) which may cause gastrointestinal bleeding, or a 1 c.c. (1000 mcg.) intramuscular injection of vitamin B-12, which is difficult to maintain over a long period of time. Absorption of B-12 in the diet is reduced by an erosion of the mucous lining of the intestines and decreased hydrochloric acid production in the stomach. Stress has also been implicated in reducing the amount of blood flow to the stomach wall (eschemia), and thus inhibiting the absorption of B-12. Further, many people are lacking a protein called "Intrinsic Factor" that may also be necessary for absorption. Vegetarians are often at risk of deficiency because B-12 is only found in animal products. Recently, a number of researchers have found that the Schilling Test, the standard for measuring B-12 in the blood, does not accurately account for

Extractions: Entrance into the International Fanconi Anemia Registry (IFAR) Principal Investigator: Arleen D. Auerbach, Ph.D. Goal: To obtain clinical and genetic information on patients with this heterogeneous disorder, in order to learn how to optimize growth and development of affected children, and to increase our understanding of this rare syndrome. Study: Patients affected with Fanconi anemia will be admitted to The Rockefeller University Hospital for 3-5 days. They will receive a complete physical examination and drawing of blood for various laboratory studies. Consultations with subspecialists in genetics, hematology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, hearing, cardiology, neurology, dermatology, gastroenterology etc. will be obtained as warranted. Genetic counseling and dietary instruction will be provided. Since growth failure associated with endocrine abnormalities is one of the most common findings in FA, and one of the least studied, we will evaluate patients for growth hormone, glucose metabolism, thyroid function, adrenal function and pubertal function. All studies on the protocol will be done at no cost to the patient. Records of test results, and recommendations of consultants will be sent to the patient's primary care physician.

Extractions: MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIAS MACROCYTOSIS An increased MCV can be due to a number of reasons but careful review of the patient's history and blood smear can narrow the diagnostic possibilities. The differential can be divided into two broad categories based on RBC morphology. Round macrocytosis-due to abnormal lipid composition of the erythrocyte membrane. Common etiologies include: Alcoholism. Liver Disease. Renal Disease. Hypothyroidism ("myxedema of the red cell"). Oval macrocytosis (macroovalocytes) is a sign of problem with cell DNA replication. The developing red cell has difficulty in undergoing cell division but RNA continues to be translated and transcribed into protein leading to growth of the cytoplasm while the nucleus lags behind. Often one or more cell division are skipped leading to a larger than normal cell. Common causes are: Drug effect including cytotoxic chemotherapy (AZT now most common etiology of increased MCV).
