blood disorders

Stroke, also known as a stroke or stroke, is the disruption of blood flow to some region of the brain, and this can have several reasons, such as accumulations of fat plaques or clot formation, which give rise to stroke ischemic, or bleeding by high blood pressure and even rupture of an aneurysm, giving rise to hemorrhagic stroke

Reactive hypoglycemia is a condition that usually arises between 1h30 and 3 hours after excessive consumption of foods rich in sugar or carbohydrates, and may or may not be related to diseases, such as diabetes. Excessive sugar consumption in a short time causes the body to produce and release a lot of insulin to balance blood sugar levels, however, the insulin produced ends up withdrawing more glucose from the blood than it should, and a picture of hypoglycemia is characterized

Iron deficiency anemia is a type of anemia that happens because of the lack of iron in the body, which decreases the amount of hemoglobin and hence red blood cells, which are the blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen to all tissues of the body. Thus, there are symptoms such as weakness, discouragement, easy tiredness, pale skin and feeling faint, for example

Cerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke, also called stroke, in which bleeding occurs around or inside the brain because of the rupture of a blood vessel, usually an artery of the brain. Learn more about hemorrhagic stroke. It is a serious event, usually caused by a blow to the head, which can lead to a state of profound unconsciousness, as well as nausea, vomiting, decreased heart rate and loss of balance

Dyslipidemia is characterized by the high amount of fat, especially cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood test, caused in many cases by excessive consumption of fatty foods. There are 2 types of dyslipidemia: Primary dyslipidemia: arises due to genetic factors and, normally, there are more cases in the individual's family; Secondary dyslipidemia: caused by other diseases or by the patient's lifestyle

Deep vein thrombosis is usually more common in adults who spend a lot of time standing, smoking, taking the contraceptive pill or being overweight, for example. However, thrombosis can be prevented by simple measures such as avoiding sitting too long, drinking water during the day and wearing comfortable clothing, for example

Deep vein thrombosis occurs when a clot grabs a vein in the leg, causing symptoms such as swelling of the leg and severe pain in the affected region. However, other classic signs and symptoms of deep venous thrombosis are: Pain that starts suddenly and gradually worsens; Swelling of only one leg, sometimes more than 3 cm; Redness of affected leg; Dilated veins in the leg; Local temperature increase; Pain to touch; Tightening of the skin

Deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition characterized by the formation of blood clots in the deep veins of the legs that may hinder or block the passage of blood. The thrombus may still flow through the blood and reach other important organs such as the lung or heart causing serious consequences

Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells, also known as leukocytes, which are the body's defense cells. This disease begins in the bone marrow, which the inner part of the bone, popularly known as 'bone marrow' and spreads through the body through the blood, preventing or disrupting the production of red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells, and because of this anemia, infections and hemorrhages

Thrombocytopenia, or thrombocytopenia, is a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood, a condition that impairs coagulation, and can cause symptoms such as purple or red spots on the skin, bleeding gums or nose, and red urine, for example. Platelets are essential components of blood for clotting, facilitating wound healing and preventing bleeding

Vasculitis, also called Angeitis, is inflammation of the walls of blood vessels that can affect only one vessel or can be severe and affect various vessels and even different organs and systems of the body. The main consequence of vasculitis is the interruption of blood flow from the affected vessel that may result in ischemia and therefore should be treated as soon as possible

Acidosis of the blood is characterized by excess acidity, causing a pH lower than 7.35 which are generally caused as follows: Metabolic acidosis : loss of bicarbonate or accumulation of some acid in the blood; Respiratory acidosis : accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in diseases that affect breathing diarrhea, kidney disease, generalized infection, heart failure or intoxication by the use of acid substances

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, also known by the acronym AHAI, is a disease characterized by the production of antibodies that react against red blood cells, destroying them and producing anemia, causing symptoms such as tiredness, pallor, dizziness, yellow eyes and skin This type of anemia can affect anyone, being more common in young adults

Medullary aplasia or aplasia of the bone marrow is a disease characterized by alteration in the functioning of the bone marrow. The bone marrow is responsible for the production of blood cells. When it is compromised by any factor, its production can be reduced or even stopped, which leads to low concentrations of circulating red blood cells, platelets and leukocytes

Thrombosis is characterized by the formation of blood clots within veins or arteries, preventing normal blood circulation, causing pain and swelling in the legs or arm, for example. Typically, thrombosis occurs in people who have varicose veins, who sit or lie down for a long time, such as a plane ride, hormone intake, during pregnancy or as a result of surgery

Hemoglobin, or Hb, is a component of red blood cells and has the primary function of transporting oxygen to tissues. Hb consists of the heme group, which is formed by iron, and globine chains, which can be alpha, beta, gamma or delta, resulting in the main types of hemoglobin, such as: HbA1 , which is formed by two alpha chains and two beta chains and is present in higher concentration in blood; HbA2 , which is formed by two alpha chains and two delta chains; HbF , which is formed by two alpha chains and two gamma chains and is present in higher concentrations in newborns, their concentration d

Pernicious anemia, also known as Addison's anemia, is a type of megaloblastic anemia caused by deficiency of vitamin B12 (or cobalamin) in the body, leading to symptoms such as weakness, pallor, tiredness and tingling of the hands and feet, for example. Learn more about vitamin B12. This type of anemia is usually discovered from the age of 30, however in cases of child malnutrition, for example, there may be deficiency of this vitamin, characterizing juvenile pernicious anemia

Poor circulation is characterized by difficulty in passing blood through the veins or arteries, generating symptoms such as swollen feet, leg pain, cold hands and varicose veins in the legs. Poor blood circulation is a common situation, especially in overweight individuals or in women taking the contraceptive pill

Treatment for megaloblastic anemia should be done with vitamin B12 supplementation because in this type of anemia vitamin levels are very low and prevent the normal production of red blood cells. In this way, hemoglobin reduction occurs in the blood, making it difficult to transport oxygen to the cells that causes classic symptoms of anemia such as excessive fatigue, pallor or changes in intestinal transit, for example

To diagnose anemia it is necessary to have a blood test to evaluate the amount of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and is usually indicative of anemia when hemoglobin values ​​are below 12 g / dL in the case of women and 14 g / dL in the case of men. However, hemoglobin concentration is not the only parameter for the diagnosis of anemia, and other tests are usually required to identify the cause of low hemoglobin and initiate the most appropriate treatment.
