Anemias I
Name one of the symptoms of anemia
tiredness, shortness of breath, pain, etc.
If there was no malaria, there would be less of this anemia
Sickle Cell Anemia
Define leukemia
cancer of the leukocytes
Due to too much iron
Hemochromatosis
Too many red blood cells produced
Polycythemia
Iron-Deficiency Anemia
(The chemical symbol for the element iron is Fe)
An inherited form of anemia, also known as thalassemia, that results in inadequate production of hemoglobin and red blood cells
Cooley's anemia
abnormal numbers of relatively mature lymphocytes predominate in the marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
A slowly progressing leukemia
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Too few white blood cells
leukopenia
The procedure used to remove excessive amounts of metal from the blood
chelation therapy
This heritable anemia manifests in red blood cells that have a curved shape due to a improperly folded proteins that are responsible for carrying oxygen. The disease phenotype is associated with protection against malaria.
Sickle Cell Anemia
Cooley's Anemia is also known as
Thalassemia
Starts in the bone marrow, and results in overproduction of the myeloid cells known as granulocytes. It is a slowly progressing form of leukemia.
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
This disease, especially when severe or advanced in adults, can often be noticed on physical exam by viewing the sclera of the eyes. The altered finding in the sclera is due to the higher amount of bilirubin in the body than is normally the case, often due to liver malfunction.
Jaundice
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
If you don't consume B12, you may among other problems eventually develop this anemia
Pernicious Anemia
This anemia is essentially a problem with the bone marrow resulting in inadequate amounts of functional stem cells being formed. These critical stem cells go on to become the formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) that the body needs. So essentially not enough blood cells are produced, including not enough red blood cells.
Aplastic anemia
Most common leukemia in seniors.
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)
This heritable disease is the result of a malfunctioning or absent clotting protein known as von Willibrand factor``
von Willibrand disease
This genetically inheritable disease is the result of missing particular factors in the blood that aid in the clotting process. The less of the proper clotting factors one has, the more severe is this disease.
Hemophilia
The anemia is secondary to the presence of a longstanding illness in one or more body systems. For example, individuals with liver problems may develop anemia.
anemia of chronic disease
An stomach protein known as intrinsic factor is absent, reducing the body's ability to absorb enough of a particular vitamin.
Pernicious Anemia
Most common form of leukemia in adults overall.
Due to overproduction of myoblasts
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
This disease is caused by overproduction of plasma cells (plasma cells have an immune system function). These overproduced plasma cells make a particular type of antibody associated with this disease, often known as the M antibody.
Multiple Myeloma
This disease is caused by a pathogen that weakens the immune system of the infected person, reducing the ability of the immune system to fight any other infections. One of the mechanisms of transfer of the pathogen is blood to blood contact.
