Anemia disease, better known as the society for less blood. The disease experienced by vulnerable infants, pregnant women, women, and workers in General. There are two types of anemia that is known for it, namely nutritional anemia and non-nutrients.
Nutritional anemia is a State of less blood lacks nutrients needed for the formation and the production of red blood cells, both in quality and quantity.
Nutritional anemia itself, there are several kinds, namely:
Iron nutritional anemia, due to supply shortage of iron (Fe). Iron is the core molecule of hemoglobin, which is a major element in the red blood cells. So, the supply shortage of iron can cause a decrease in the production of hemoglobin.
Nutritional anemia of vitamin E, vitamin E is an essential factor for the integrity of the red blood cells. Vitamin E deficiency can result in red blood cell wall integrity becomes weak and is not normal, so it is very sensitive to hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells)
Nutritional anemia folic acid, it is often referred to as the megaloblastik or macrocyticanemia. In this state of red blood cells with abnormal traits with its bigger, amount to little, and immature.
Nutritional vitamin B12 anemia called pernicious also. The symptoms are similar tosymptoms in nutritional anemia folic acid, but accompanied by disorders of the digestive system of the inside.
Nutritional anemia or vitamin B6, also called siderotic. The situation is similar to the anemia of iron nutrition, but if the blood tested in the laboratory, serum iron is normal.
Non-nutritional anemia can occur due to bleeding, such as injuries due to accidents,menstruation, or a genetic blood disease such as thalassemia (DNA damage),hemophilia (clotting abnormalities), and others.
Signs
Having 4 L (weak, lethargic, weary, and tired).
Pale face.
The limbs such as arms and legs felt tingly.
Blur view.
The heart pounding.
Less passionate.
The cause of
Iron deficiency so that the mobile is happening diminution in size of red blood cells(microcytic). It causes the low content of hemoglobin (hypochromic) and reduced number of red blood cells.
Deficiency of folic acid and vitamins or Bn. second substance is required in the establishment of nukleoprotein for the process of maturation of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
A deficiency of vitamin B12 and accompanied by disorders of the digestive system inside. On the chronic type can damage brain cells and fatty acids become abnormal as well as its position on the wall of the cell neural network change. It is feared, the sufferer will experience psychiatric disorders.
Vitamin B5 deficiency will interfere with the synthesis of hemoglobin (formation). Its nutrition value handling can be done by giving vitamin B6 supplements orally with doses of 50-200 mg/day or as recommended by a doctor of nutrition.
Prevention
Consuming foodstuffs the main source of iron, folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12such as meat and vegetables according to the recommended nutritional adequacy.
Conducting laboratory tests to determine the content of B12 in the blood so that it can distinguish between ordinary pernicious anemia with anemia. When it turns out normal levels of vitamin B12, then it can be done giving folic acid with a dose of 0.1-1.0 mg/day.
Do blood tests regularly to view the profile of blood and prevent the occurrence of anemia.
