    Extractions: What is Iron Deficiency Anemia? Iron Deficiency Anemia (also called IDA) is a condition where a person has inadequate amounts of iron to meet body demands. It is a decrease in the amount of red cells in the blood caused by having too little iron. IDA is usually caused by a diet insufficient in iron or from blood loss. Blood loss can be acute as in hemorrhage or trauma or long term as in heavy menstruation. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia. About 20% of women, 50% of pregnant women, and 3% of men are iron deficient. Iron deficiency anemia and sickle cell anemia are VERY DIFFERENT. To read about sickle cell anemia, click here. What is Iron? Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying pigment in the blood. Iron is normally obtained through the food in the diet. Iron is part of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of the blood. Iron-deficient people tire easily because their bodies are starved for oxygen. Iron is also part of myoglobin. Myoglobin helps muscle cells store oxygen. Without enough iron, the body's fuel cannot be properly synthesized. What Causes Iron Deficiency Anemia?

    Extractions: Anemia December 2001 WHAT IS ANEMIA AND SOME OF ITS CAUSES? General Description of Anemia Anemia is an abnormal reduction in red blood cells. It is a great problem globally and worse in developing countries, but by no means absent in industrialized nations. Anemia can occur from a malfunction at any point in the production, recycling, or regulating of red blood cells. [See Box Blood .] Anemia is not a single disease but a condition, like fever, with many possible causes and many forms.

    http://www.cdc.gov/node.do/id/0900f3ec80006a7d
    
    Extractions: Anemia and Iron Status Young children are at great risk of iron deficiency because of rapid growth and increased iron requirements. Iron deficiency can occur due to lack of iron in the diets. If this continues, anemia results. Anemia is a manifestation of iron deficiency when it is relatively severe. It is important to note that not all anemia is due to iron deficiency. The primary causes of anemia include reduced red blood cell and hemoglobin production, hemolysis of red blood cells, and loss of blood. Although an inadequate dietary intake of several nutrients may reduce the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, the most common cause of anemia throughout the world is iron deficiency. Poverty, abuse, and living in a home with poor household conditions also place children at risk for iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is seen most commonly in children six months to three years of age. Those at highest risk are low birth weight infants after two months of age, breastfed term infants who receive no iron-fortified foods or supplemental iron after four months of age, and formula fed term infants who are not consuming iron-fortified formula. Iron deficiency anemia significantly impairs mental and psychomotor development in infants and children. Although iron deficiency can be reversed with treatment, the reversibility of the mental and psychomotor impairment is not yet clearly understood. Thus, prevention and treatment need to be emphasized more than detection. In addition, iron deficiency increases a child’s susceptibility to lead toxicity. Lead replaces iron in the absorptive pathway when iron is unavailable.

    Extractions: This article originally appeared in the May 1996 FDA Consumer and contains revisions made in December 1997 and February 1999. The article is no longer being updated. New Hope for People with Sickle Cell Anemia by Eleanor Mayfield In tropical regions of the world where the parasite-borne disease malaria is prevalent, people with a single copy of a particular genetic mutation have a survival advantage. Over time, people from these regions have migrated, had children, and in some cases married each other. Some of their children inherit two copies of the mutation. While inheriting one copy of the mutation confers a benefit, inheriting two copies is a tragedy. Children born with two copies of the genetic mutation have sickle cell anemia, a painful disease that affects the red blood cells and is curable only in rare instances. In February 1998, the Food and Drug Administration approved the drug Droxia (hydroxyurea) for reducing painful episodes in adults with a severe form of sickle cell anemia. The drug doesn't cure the disease. Hydroxyurea also is approved under the name Hydrea for treating certain cancers. Genetic Defect Changes Cell Shape The genetic defect that causes sickle cell anemia affects hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells. Hemoglobin's job is to carry oxygen to all the cells and tissues of the body. Red blood cells that contain normal hemoglobin (such as the one pictured top right) are soft and round. Their soft texture enables them to squeeze through the body's small blood vessels.

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.

Anemias Topics [General] Anemias Caused By Blood Loss Anemias Caused By Deficient Erythropoiesis Anemias Caused By Excessive Hemolysis Anemias Caused By Excessive Hemolysis At the end of their normal life span (about 120 days), RBCs are removed by components of the mononuclear phagocyte system, principally in the spleen, where Hb catabolism takes place. The essential feature of hemolysis is a shortened RBC life span; hemolytic anemia results when bone marrow production can no longer compensate for the shortened RBC survival. Pathogenesis Most hemolysis is extravascular, ie, it occurs in phagocytic cells of the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. Hemolysis may result (1) from intrinsic abnormalities of RBC contents (Hb or enzymes) or membrane (permeability, structure, or lipid content), or (2) from problems extrinsic to the RBC (serum antibodies, trauma in the circulation, or infectious agents). The spleen is usually involved; it reduces RBC survival by destroying mildly abnormal RBCs or warm antibody-coated cells. If the spleen is enlarged, there may be trapping (sequestration) of even normal RBCs. Severely abnormal RBCs or those coated with cold antibodies or complement (C3) are destroyed within the circulation or in the liver, which (because of its large blood flow) can remove damaged cells efficiently. Intravascular hemolysis is uncommon; it results in hemoglobinuria when the Hb released into plasma exceeds the Hb-binding capacity of plasma-binding proteins (eg, haptoglobin). Hb is reabsorbed into renal tubular cells where Fe is converted to hemosiderin, part of which is assimilated for reutilization and part of which reaches the urine when the tubular cells slough. Identification of hemosiderinuria in a fresh urine specimen provides evidence of intravascular hemolysis.

    Extractions: Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disorder that mostly affects people of African ancestry, but also occurs in other ethnic groups, including people who are of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern descent. More than 70,000 Americans have sickle cell anemia. And about 2 million Americans - and one in 12 African Americans - have sickle cell trait (this means they carry one gene for the disease, but do not have the disease itself). Sickle cell anemia occurs when a person inherits two abnormal genes (one from each parent) that cause their red blood cells to change shape. Instead of being flexible and round, these cells are more rigid and curved in the shape of the farm tool known as a sickle - that's where the disease gets its name. The shape is similar to a crescent moon. What Is Sickle Cell Anemia? Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that affects hemoglobin (pronounced: hee -muh-glow-bin), a protein found in red blood cells that helps carry oxygen throughout the body. Red blood cells with normal hemoglobin ( HbA ) move easily through the bloodstream, delivering oxygen to all of the cells of the body. Normal red blood cells are shaped like doughnuts with the centers partially scooped out and are soft and flexible.
