Anemia
What is anemia? Anemia is having less than the normal number of red blood cells or less hemoglobin than normal in the blood. How is anemia detected? Anemia is usually detected or at least confirmed by a complete blood cell (CBC) count. What is a complete blood cell (CBC) count? In a CBC test, the different types of cells in the blood are counted and examined. Today, much of this work is often automated and done by machine. Six tests make up a CBC:
  • Red blood cell (RBC) count
  • Hematocrit
  • Hemoglobin
  • White blood cell (WBC) count
  • Differential blood count (the "diff")
  • Platelet count
Only the first three of these tests: the red blood cell (RBC) count, the hematocrit, and the hemoglobin, are relevant to the diagnosis of anemia.

What is anemia?
Anemia happens when your blood doesn't have enough hemoglobin (he-mo-GLOBE-in). Hemoglobin helps red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body.
What causes anemia?
There are many types of anemia, all with different causes:
  • Iron deficiency anemia (IDA). IDA is the most common type of anemia. IDA happens when you don't have enough iron in your body. You need iron to make hemoglobin. This can happen when you lose blood from problems like heavy periods, ulcers, colon polyps, or colon cancer. A diet that doesn't have enough iron in it can also cause IDA. Pregnancy can also cause IDA if there's not enough iron for the mother and fetus. You can get iron from foods like ground beef, clams, spinach, lentils, baked potato with skin, sunflower seeds, and cashews. Megaloblastic (or vitamin deficiency) anemia.

What is anemia?
Anemia occurs when your blood doesn't have enough hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. A common cause of anemia is not having enough iron. (Your body needs iron to make hemoglobin.) Return to top

What can cause low iron levels?
A number of things can cause you to be low in iron: Lack of iron in the diet . This is mostly a problem for children and young women. Children who drink a lot of milk and don't eat iron-rich foods and young women who follow "fad" diets may be at risk for iron deficiency. Growth spurts . Children under age 3 are growing so fast that their bodies may have a hard time keeping up with the amount of iron they need. Pregnancy Blood loss . This is a common reason for iron deficiency anemia in adults. Heavy periods may cause anemia. Blood loss can also be caused by internal bleeding, usually in the digestive tract. A stomach ulcer, ulcerative colitis, cancer, or taking aspirin or similar medicine for a long time can cause bleeding in your stomach or intestines. That's why it's important to find the reason for a low iron level.

Katy's Story Katelyn Rose Hubbell turned four years old on June 26th 1997, and had a big party at her home in Fisher, Illinois. She was a happy, healthy little girl, until July 11, 1997 when she was diagnosed with a life threatening bone marrow failure disease called Severe Aplastic Anemia. In case you didn't know, bone marrow is the soft spongy material inside your bones that is home to stem cells. Stem Cells are the little factories that produce the three types of blood cells, that along with a liquid called plasma, makes up your blood. In people with Aplastic Anemia, the workers in the "factory" go on strike. They do not produce enough blood cells to keep the patient alive. There are three main types of blood cells. White blood cells fight infection by "eating" bacteria and viruses that enter the body. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to organs and tissues throughout the body.

Anemia (Normocytic Anemia)
Printer-friendly version Email this article
What is normocytic anemia?
Normocytic anemia is the most common type of anemia. It is a blood problem. It means you have normal-sized red blood cells, but you have a low number of them.The presence of normal-sized red blood cells tells your doctor that you have normocytic anemia rather than another kind of anemia. For example, when anemia is caused by having too little iron in your diet, you have small red blood cells. Return to top
What causes normocytic anemia?
Normocytic anemia can be a problem you were born with (called congenital) or it can be caused by an infection or disease (called acquired). Congenital normocytic anemia is caused by the breaking up of red blood cells. Sickle cell disease is a congenital disorder of red blood cells. The most common cause of the acquired form of normocytic anemia is a long-term (chronic) disease. Chronic diseases that can cause normocytic anemia include kidney disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroiditis. Some medicines can cause you to have normocytic anemia, but this does not happen often.

Aplastic Anemia Answer Book Aplastic Anemia - The Disease Aplastic anemia is a rare but extremely serious disorder that results from the unexplained failure of the bone marrow to produce blood cells. In all probability you had never heard of this disease until the time of diagnosis. We hope that this pamphlet helps you deal with your situation by providing basic information about aplastic anemia and the various treatment options. This pamphlet is not intended as a substitute for the advice of a physician. It is important that you ask questions and learn as much as you can about this disease. By contacting the Aplastic Anemia Foundation of America, you can be connected with others in your same situation and receive information free of charge. There are AAFA chapters around the country. You do not need to be alone in dealing with aplastic anemia. Normal Bone Marrow Function The central portion of bones is filled with a spongy red tissue called bone marrow. The bone marrow is essentially a factory producing the cells of the blood: red cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all areas of the body, white cells that fight infection by attacking and destroying germs, and platelets that control bleeding by forming blood clots in areas of injury. Continuous production of blood cells is necessary all through life because each cell has a finite life span once it leaves the bone marrow and enters the blood: red cells120 days, platelets6 days, and white cellsone day or less!

erythropoeitin
(EPO, Epogen, Eprex, Procrit, epoetin alfa) Drug description
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. Dosage
EPO must be injected. Initial dosage in studies was 100 units/kg IV 3 times weekly for 8-12 weeks. If the response to treatment is not satisfactory in terms of reducing transfusion requirement after 8 weeks, the dose may be increased by 50-100 units/kg. How long it may take to work
In studies, many individuals who received transfusions did not require them after 2-3 months of treatment with EPO.

http://medic.med.uth.tmc.edu/ptnt/00001040.htm
Aplastic Anemia:
Introduction for the General Physician
Aplastic anemia is a hematologic disorder characterized by a decrease in the cellular elements of the peripheral blood. This results from underproduction of peripheral blood elements due to bone marrow failure. Aplastic anemia develops before age 30-40 in patients who are predisposed due to a congenital chromosomal abnormality such as Fanconi's anemia or dyskeratosis congenita. Acquired aplastic anemia may be caused by toxic chemicals, radiation, or by idiosyncratic reactions to medications or infections. However, in over 50% of cases there is no identifiable cause and the condition is then referred to as idiopathic aplastic anemia. Making the Diagnosis Patients with aplastic anemia generally present with symptoms of bleeding or bruising due to the thrombocytopenia (low platelets), tiredness or pallor due to the anemia (low hemoglobin), or infection due to the neutropenia (low white blood cell count). A complete blood count and reticulocyte count usually show depression of all blood elements (pancytopenia). The peripheral blood smear shows no abnormal cells. The diagnosis is confirmed by a bone marrow biopsy with an assessment of cellularity. The bone marrow is also evaluated for the degree of maturation of all cell lines. Aplastic anemia is usually categorized as severe if, in addition to a hypocellular bone marrow for age, two of the three following criteria are present: a platelet count of less than 20,000/mm3, a corrected reticulocyte count of less than 1%, and a granulocyte or absolute neutrophil count [ANC = total white count x (segs + bands)] of less than 500/mm3. Patients With pancytopenia, but not severe enough to meet the above criteria, have mild or moderate aplastic anemia. Very severe aplastic anemia exists if the ANC or granulocyte count is less than 200/mm3.

Boy receives first cord blood transplant for sickle cell anemia
Keone is the first sickle cell patient to receive a cord blood transfusion from an unrelated donor.
December 14, 1998
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.

Anemia
Anemia Overview
Blood is actually a liquid made up of several different cell types. One of the most important and most numerous cell types is the red blood cell. The purpose of the red blood cell is to deliver oxygen to the body. Anemia describes the condition in which the number of red blood cells in your blood is low. For this reason, doctors sometimes describe someone with anemia as having a low blood count. A person who has anemia is called anemic.
  • Preventing anemia and having the correct number of red blood cells requires cooperation among the kidneys, the bone marrow, and nutrients within the body. If your kidneys or bones are not working, or your body is poorly nourished, then you might not be able to maintain a normal red blood cell count.
    Anemia is actually a sign of a disease process rather than a disease itself. It is usually classified as either chronic or acute. Chronic anemia happens over a long period of time. Acute anemia happens quickly. Determining whether anemia has been going on a long time or whether it is something new helps doctors to find its cause. This also helps predict how severe the symptoms may be.
    Red blood cells live about 100 days, so the body is constantly trying to replace them. In adults, red blood cell production occurs in the bone marrow. Doctors try to determine if a low red blood cell count is caused by increased blood loss or from decreased production in the bone marrow. Knowing whether the number of white blood cells has changed also helps determine the cause.
