TREATMENT OF THE ANAEMIA

The treatment of the anaemia varies greatly. First, the underlying cause of the anaemia should be identified and corrected. Sometimes iron supplements will also be needed to correct iron deficiency. In severe anaemia, blood transfusions may be necessary. Vitamin B12 injections will be necessary for patients suffering from pernicious anaemia or other causes of B12 deficiency.
In certain patients with bone marrow disease (or bone marrow damage from chemotherapy) or patients with kidney failure, epoetin alfa (Procrit, Epogen) may be used to stimulate bone marrow red blood cell production.

THE COMPLICATIONS OF ANAEMIA


Haemoglobin has the important role of delivering oxygen to all parts of the body for consumption and carries back carbon dioxide back to the lung to exhale it out of the body. If haemoglobin level is too low, this process may be impaired, resulting in body having low oxygen level (hypoxia).

- Take healthy diet, rich in iron such as whole grain cereals, legumes, nuts, dry dates, beet root, red meat, especially beef and pulses.
-Person suffering from vitamin deficiency anaemia should take diet rich in vitamins such as eggs, fish, organ meats
and milk products such as cheese.
