🗑
iron deficiency anemia (hypochromic anemia)   causes: inadequate dietary intake of iron/mal-absorption Food sources: liver, spinach, raisins, beets Signs & sx reduction in Hgb and therefore o2 carrying ability fatigue, vertigo, pallor, tinnitus treatment: iron replacement therapy feosol, imferon  
🗑
pernicious anemia   megaloblastic anemia due to the Vitamin B12 deficiency caused by lack of intrinsic factor in gastric juice which is necessary to utilize B12. Causes: usual idiopathic sings & sx: due to anemia Tx lifetime treatment of B12 injections  
🗑
aplastic anemia-not forming cells   a condition of bone marrow failure which results in markedly reduced production of all cells. (pancytopenia) all cell deficiency Causes: congenital, idiopathic, radiation chemical Signs and sx: purpura, pyrexia Tx: blood transfusion,bone marrow transplant  
🗑
erythroblastosis fetalis   incompatibility of fetal & newborn blood resulting in maternal antibody activity against fetal RBC's (rh- mom rh+ fetus) Causes:rh incapability signs & sx: jaundice of nb within 24 hr Tx: determined by degree of maternal sensitization, effects antibodies  
🗑
palliative   treating symptoms only  
🗑
sickle cell anemia   results from a defective Hgb molecule (S) anoxia causes the rbc 2 roughen & become sickle shaped decreasing their ability to carry o2. tx: prevent from occurring signs sx: sporadic-precipitating factors of crisis.  
🗑
thalassemia (cooley Anemia) vera- seldom live to be adults   hereditary group of hemolytic anemias characterized by defective synthesis of Hgb and Rbc synthesis is impaired also. Causes: hereditary most common in greeks n Italians signs & SX: severe anemia, bone deformities failure to thrive mild anemia Tx of sympt
