A reduction in the number of red blood cells Limits the ability of the blood to carry oxygen and other nutrients around the body, and excretion of waste products (such as carbon dioxide) the reduction in the red blood cells results in the starvation of tissues of oxygen and other nutrients Anaemic fish typically show pale gills, due to the reduced number of red blood cells
A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume (British variant of anemia)
anaemia anaemias in AM, use anemia Anaemia is a medical condition in which there are too few red cells in your blood, causing you to feel tired and look pale. anemia a medical condition in which there are too few red cells in your blood
Having a low red blood cell count or lack of red blood cells, resulting in weakness and lack of oxygen in the organs Symptoms of anaemia include feeling tired and weak, and shortness of breath
a condition resulting from an unusually low number of red blood cells or too little haemoglobin in the red blood cells
A shortage of red blood cells in the body, causing tiredness, shortage of breath and pale skin One of the functions of the kidneys is to make EPO (erythropoeitin), which stimulates the bone marrow to make blood cells In kidney failure, EPO is not made and anaemia results
A shortage of red blood cells, leading to tiredness and breathlessness Aspiration biopsy A procedure to remove cells from the womb using a long thin plastic tube passed through the vagina Click here for further information
* means less than the normal number of red blood cells Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen If anaemic, a person may feel lethargic, suffer shortness of breath, look pale and feel tired Anaemia may be corrected by blood transfusions
A decrease in the number of red blood cells or the total level of haemoglobin (see below) This makes it harder for the blood to get oxygen to the rest of the body, causing symptoms such as weakness, tiredness or shortness of breath Anaemia in myeloma can be caused by the myeloma cells in the bone marrow interfering with red blood cell production, or as a side effect of chemotherapy
A medical condition in which the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen to the tissues is reduced, either because of too few red blood cells, or because of too little hemoglobin, resulting in pallor and fatigue
The condition of having too few red blood cells If the blood is low on red blood cells, the body does not get enough oxygen A low hemoglobin is a sign of anemia See also Epogen
Anemia is a condition in which a deficiency in the size or number of erythrocytes (red blood cells) or the amount of hemoglobin they contain limits the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the tissue cells Most anemias are caused by a lack of nutrients required for normal erythrocyte synthesis, principally iron, vitamin B-12, and folic acid Others result from a variety of conditions, such as hemorrhage, genetic abnormalities, chronic disease states or drug toxicity
Below normal levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin, or both, which can be caused by many different conditions, including iron deficiency Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, headache, and dizziness Appropriate blood tests will confirm the diagnosis of anemia and shed light on its etiology
Having low red blood cell counts Since red blood cells deliver oxygen to the various organs and muscles, anemia produces fatigue, especially with exertion
Anemia is a condition characterized by oxygen carrying deficiency caused by a low amount of red blood cells, iron deficiency, or sickle cell formation of red blood cells
condition caused by a reduction in the amount of red blood cells that are produced by the bone marrow; anemia can be a result of the cancer itself or from the treatments; symptoms of anemia include fatigue and dyspnea
Any condition in which the number of red blood cells per mm3, the amount of hemoglobin in 100 ml of blood, and/or the volume of packed red blood cells per 100 ml of blood are less than normal; clinically, generally pertaining to the concentration of oxygen-transporting material in a designated volume of blood Anemia is frequently manifested by pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, shortness of breath, palpitations of the heart, soft systolic murmurs, lethargy, and fatigability
Any condition where the amount of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin is less than normal This can impair the blood's ability to deliver sufficient amounts of oxygen throughout the body
A medical condition in which the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen to the tissues is reduced, either because of too few red blood cells, or because of too little haemoglobin, resulting in pallor and fatigue
see anaemia. the usual American spelling of anaemia (anaimia , from haima ). Condition in which erythrocytes are reduced in number or volume or are deficient in hemoglobin. The patient is usually noticeably pale. Close to 100 varieties exist (including aplastic anemia, pernicious anemia, and sickle-cell anemia), distinguished by cause; erythrocyte size, shape, and hemoglobin content; and symptoms. Anemia may result from blood loss; increased destruction, reduced production, or inhibited formation of red cells; or hormone deficiency. Treatment may involve nutrition, toxin removal, drugs, surgery, or transfusion. See also folic-acid-deficiency anemia, iron-deficiency anemia. aplastic anemia anemia of bone marrow failure folic acid deficiency anemia iron deficiency anemia pernicious anemia sickle cell anemia
sickle-cell anaemia in AM, use sickle-cell anemia Sickle-cell anaemia is an inherited illness in which the red blood cells become curved, causing a number of health problems. sickle-cell anemia a serious illness that mainly affects black people, in which the blood cells change shape, causing weakness and fever
