DEFINICION
Los glóbulos rojos son un tipo de células sanguíneas, flexibles y en forma de disco, y son componente esencial de la sangre. Esta célula toma la molécula de oxigeno al paso de la sangre por los pulmones y la transporta a tejidos distantes que dependen de oxigeno para la producción de energía y su supervivencia. Los glóbulos rojos no podrían hacer este trabajo sin la hemoglobina contenida en ellos: sustancia que captura oxigeno y es la que le da el color rojo característico a la sangre. Ocurre Anemia cuando el porcentaje de glóbulos rojos en la sangre o la concentración de hemoglobina cae por debajo de lo normal. Muchos de los síntomas de Anemia son ocasionados por el inadecuado aporte de oxigeno a los tejidos.

Lilli's Legacy
A Tribute to Lilli
Now at peace my body lies,
but within these pages my spirit flies!
Wanting Lilli to exist outside of my memory,
Lilli's Legacy was prepared to both memorialize her
and to guarantee that her death was not in vain.
Lilli experienced a peracute onset of AutoImmune Hemolytic Anemia on August 1, 1999. Without delving into specifics, she exhibited persistant autoagglutination and symptoms of intravascular hemolysis. After exhausting almost all therapeutic options,
Lilli succumbed on December 1, 1999.
She was an absolute joy every minute of her life and not a day went by that I wasn't amazed by her intelligence, pureness of spirit and sweetness. The treacherous act Lilli's body played upon itself and the resulting emptyness in our home is overridden by our great memories of her. I feel so blessed to have been her Mom.
Hoping to use the knowledge gained during our experience to benefit someone else, Lilli's Legacy summarizes information compiled from numerous articles and veterinary manuals. Please use this as supplemental information to help you make informed decisions while discussing your dog's care with your veterinarian.

64. Supplemental Garlic: Cat Nutrition Facts From Feline Future
Article on Heinz body anemia and hemolytic anemia caused by garlic, onions, shallots, and related plants, fed to cats.
http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/garlic.php
The Backyard Predator
selected articles from our archives
helping you to better understand your cat With today's trend of resorting to dietary modification and the addition of herbs and supplements into our meal-plan as a natural way of combating and preventing common human ailments, one should be very careful in how far the companion cat can be included in these recommendations. Many natural substances which aid human ailments may have an equally beneficial effect on the cat, but equally many can also have detrimental effects on the cat and her health. The use of garlic and other members of the Lily family such as onions, shallots, and chives in the cat's diet is not advised. Ingestion of these plants in a raw, cooked, or dried form can lead to damage of the red blood cells, which are rejected by the body from the bloodstream, and a continued use of garlic or onions can eventually result in hemolytic anemia. If the anemia is not controlled by discontinuing the use of the plants, it can potentially lead to death. Less significant but important is that raw garlic and onions irritate the mouth, esophagus, and stomach and can cause or exacerbate ulcers. "An alkaloid, N-propyl disulphide, present in both cultivated and wild onions, chives, and garlic, affects the enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, in red blood cells that interferes with the hexose monophosphate pathway. Oxidation of hemoglobin results because there is either insufficient phosphate dehydrogenase or glutathione to protect the red blood cells from oxidative injury. The resulting formation of Heinz bodies within erythrocytes is characteristic of onion poisoning. (...)"

    Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
    A disease characterized by increased destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes) by the dog's own immune system, canine autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is one of the most common blood (hematologic) disorders affecting canines. Though much attention has been given recently to AIHA due to evidence linking the process of vaccinating with the manifestation of this sometimes life-threatening disease, immunization is only one potential cause for this condition. The following article provides a detailed explanation of AIHA in terms of the disease process, diagnosis and treatment, and explores factors that may play a role in the development of this disorder in the canine.
    The Blood: A Brief Overview
    The blood is considered an organ having its own complex and diverse development, structure and functions. Its unique form, cellular tissue suspended in fluid plasma, allows it to serve as a main distribution system throughout the body. Cellular tissues composing the blood include: the red blood cells, which provide oxygen to tissues of the body; the white blood cells, which prevent invasion of microorganisms or other foreign substances; the lymphocytes, which carry out immune surveillance; and the platelets, which are involved in keeping the components of the blood in balance. Remarkably, all of these cellular components originate from a common source called stem cells located in the bone marrow. These stem cells give rise to a mature colony of cells which as they continue to divide and mature undergo a series of changes, a process known as differentiation, and eventually develop into the specialized blood cells indicated above.

    A uto I mmune H emolytic Anemia Information for Patients and Veterinarians What is AIHA Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a disease in which the body attacks its own red blood cells (RBC). A pet suffering with AIHA will have a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells within the blood. This is termed anemia. The normal range for the packed cell volume (PCV) or hematocrit is 37-55% (the ratio of the volume of packed red cells to the whole blood). AIHA is classified as a “primary” immune disease. No underlying cause of the immune destruction can be found after an exhaustive clinical and laboratory evaluation. A “secondary” disease is called immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). IMHA refers to all anemias that occur when the immune system inadvertently destroys its own blood cells secondary to an immune attack directed against an underlying condition such as cancer, endocarditis, heartworm or by unidentifiable causes as in AIHA. What are the Symptoms of AIHA?

    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.

    Ambulatory Management of Common Forms of Anemia
    DAVID R. LITTLE, M.D., M.S.
    Wright State University School of Medicine Dayton, Ohio
    Anemia is a prevalent condition with a variety of underlying causes. Once the etiology has been established, many forms of anemia can be easily managed by the family physician. Iron deficiency, the most common form of anemia, may be treated orally or, rarely, parenterally. Vitamin B deficiency has traditionally been treated with intramuscular injections, although oral and intranasal preparations are also available. The treatment of folate deficiency is straightforward, relying on oral supplements. Folic acid supplementation is also recommended for women of child-bearing age to reduce their risk of neural tube defects. Current research focuses on folate's role in reducing the risk of premature cardiovascular disease. A nemia is a common clinical syndrome frequently diagnosed and managed by the family physician. The prevalence of anemia in the United States has been reported to be about 29 to 30 cases per 1,000 females of all ages and six cases per 1,000 males under the age of 45, rising to a peak of 18.5 cases per 1,000 men over age 75. Anemia is defined as a reduction below normal in the total red blood cell volume (hematocrit) or in the concentration of blood hemoglobin.

    What is Sickle Cell Anemia?
    Sickle Cell is an inherited, chronic blood disease where the red blood cells become crescent shaped and function abnormally. When the blood cells become cresent/sickle shaped, they are unable to deliver adequate amounts of oxygen to other cells. The Sickle Cell Disease results in anemia (low blood counts), episodes of pain and increased susceptibility to infections. Sickle Cell produces a chronic anemia which may become life-threatening when hemolytic crises (the breakdown of red blood cells) or aplastic crises (bone marrow fails to produce blood cells) occur. If repeated crises occurs, damage of the kidneys lungs , bone, liver , and central nervous system may result. Occasionaly, acute painful episodes may occur. These acute episodes may last hours to days affecting the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest. What makes the red blood cell become a sickle shape?
