Anemia Explained: Everything You Need To Know | Anemia Made Easy | MedBoard
In this informative and comprehensive video, we delve into the world of anemia, a condition characterized by a deficiency of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin in the body. Anemia can have various underlying causes, including inadequate intake of essential nutrients, excessive blood loss, bone marrow disorders, chronic medical conditions, genetic abnormalities, chronic infections, certain medications, radiation therapy, and surgeries.
We explore the different types of anemia, such as iron-deficiency anemia, thalassemia, anemia of chronic disorders, sickle cell anemia, pernicious anemia, and aplastic anemia. Each type has its own unique causes and symptoms, which we discuss in detail.
The symptoms of anemia can vary depending on the cause and severity but commonly include tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, pale or yellowish skin, irregular heartbeat, dizziness or lightheadedness, chest pain, cold hands and feet, and headaches.
Diagnosing anemia involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and blood tests. We explain the common diagnostic tests used, such as complete blood count, blood smear, serum ferritin level, vitamin B12 and folate levels, hemoglobin electrophoresis, and bone marrow biopsy.
Treatment for anemia depends on the underlying cause and severity. We discuss various treatment options, including changes in diet, supplementation with iron or vitamin B12, medications to stimulate red blood cell production, immune system suppression for autoimmune-related anemia, and medical procedures like blood transfusion or bone marrow transplant.
