Iron Deficient Anemia

Iron-deficiency anemia is a typical, easily treated situation that occurs if you don't have enough metal in your body. Low metal levels usually are due to swelling, poor diet, or an lack of ability to process enough metal from food.
Overview

Iron-deficiency anemia is a everyday sort of anemia. The term "anemia" usually represents a situation in which your system has a lower than regular number of red system tissues. Red system tissues carry fresh air and remove co2 (a waste product) from your body.

Anemia also can occur if your red system tissues don't contain enough hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin). Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that provides fresh air from the respiratory system to the rest of our body.

Iron-deficiency anemia usually produces over time if your body doesn't have enough metal to build healthy red system tissues. Without enough metal, your body starts using the metal it has saved. Soon, the saved metal gets used up.

After the saved metal is gone, your body makes less red system tissues. The red system tissues it does make have less hemoglobin than regular.

Iron-deficiency anemia can cause exhaustion (tiredness), difficulty breathing, pain in the chest, and other symptoms. Serious iron-deficiency anemia can lead to heart disease, infections, issues with development and growth in kids, and other problems.

Infants and kids and women are the two groups at highest risk for iron-deficiency anemia.
Outlook

Doctors usually can efficiently treat iron-deficiency anemia. Therapy will depend on the cause and harshness of the situation. Treatments may include dietary changes, drugs, and surgery.

Severe iron-deficiency anemia may require treatment in a medical center, system transfusions, metal shots, or medication metal therapy.
