Hemophilia is a genetic and hereditary disease, that is, it is passed from parents to children, characterized by an increased risk of prolonged bleeding, which may be external, with wounds and cuts that do not stop bleeding, or internal bleeding gums, in the nose, in the urine or in the stool, or hematomas by the body, for example

To lower triglyceride levels in pregnancy you need to perform physical activities and follow a proper diet according to the guidance of a nutritionist. The use of medications to reduce the concentration of triglycerides is contraindicated during gestation as it may interfere with the development of the baby

Thalassemia, also known as Mediterranean anemia, is an inherited disease characterized by a defect in hemoglobin synthesis, resulting in functional changes. This is because in thalassemias one or more globin chains constituent of hemoglobin are affected, interfering in the process of transporting oxygen to the tissues

Sickle cell anemia is a disease characterized by a change in the shape of the red blood cells due to the mutation in one of the hemoglobin constituent chains, a decrease in the oxygen binding capacity and possible obstruction of the blood vessels due to the altered shape, which can lead to generalized pain, weakness and apathy

After having a Stroke, the patient may have several mild or severe sequelae, such as having difficulty walking when using a wheelchair or having difficulty speaking, for example, these consequences may be temporary or stay for a lifetime. Thus, to reduce these limitations it may be necessary to perform physiotherapy, speech therapy and cognitive stimulation with the help of a physiotherapist, speech therapist and nurse to gain more autonomy and recover, since initially the patient can stay dependent on a relative to perform the day-to-day tasks such as bathing or eating

Treatment for hypoglycemia depends on the severity of your symptoms and whether the person has diabetes or not. It is generally advised that when you notice the symptoms of hypoglycemia, which include dizziness, cold sweat, blurred vision, confusion and nausea, eat carbohydrate-rich foods or drinks if the person is conscious

Although in excess it can do badly, sugar is very important for all the cells of the organism, since it is the main source of energy used for the correct functioning of organs like the brain, heart, stomach and even for the maintenance of health skin and eyes. Thus, when you have very low blood sugar levels, such as during a hypoglycemic crisis, the whole body is affected and definite complications such as brain injuries can even arise

Neonatal hypoglycemia corresponds to the decrease in the blood glucose levels of the baby that can be perceived in the period between 24 and 72 hours after birth. This condition is more common in babies born premature, large or small for gestational age, or whose mother had inadequate nutrition during pregnancy

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, also known as CLL, is a type of leukemia characterized by an increase in the amount of mature lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. Learn more about Lymphoid Leukemia. CLL is usually diagnosed in older people, usually as young as 65, because the disease progressively develops, with symptoms usually being noticed when the disease is already at a more advanced stage

Lymphocytic leukemia is a type of cancer characterized by a change in the bone marrow that leads to the exaggerated production of cells of the lymphocytic lineage, mainly lymphocytes, also called white blood cells, that act in the defense of the organism. Learn more about lymphocytes. This type of leukemia can still be divided into two types: Acute lymphocytic leukemia or ALL, where symptoms appear quickly and happen more often in children

Hypoglycemia is the sharp drop in blood sugar levels and is one of the most serious complications of diabetes treatment, especially type 1, although it can also happen in healthy people. This situation if not properly treated can even lead to coma or irreversible brain damage. Its main causes include: Stay more than 3 hours without eating; Do lots of physical activity without eating; Consume alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach; Use medicines that can lower blood sugar like aspirin, biguanidine, and metformin without your doctor's advice; Do not take your insulin at the correct dose or t

Acute leukemia is a type of cancer related to abnormal bone marrow, which leads to abnormal production of blood cells. Acute leukemia can be classified into myeloid or lymphoid according to the cell markers identified by means of immunophenotyping, which is a laboratory technique used to differentiate cells that are very similar in microscope viewing

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in the blood that begins in the bone marrow and can spread to other parts of the body. This type of cancer has a greater chance of cure when it is diagnosed in its initial stage, when there are still no metastases and causes symptoms such as weight loss and swelling of the tumors and belly, for example

Fanconi anemia is a genetic and hereditary disease, which is rare and occurs in the child, with the appearance of congenital malformations observed at birth, progressive bone marrow failure and predisposition to cancer, changes that are usually noticed between 3 and 12 years of age. Although it can present several signs and symptoms, such as changes in bones, skin blemishes, renal impairment, short stature and increased chances of developing tumors and leukemia, this disease is called anemia, since its main manifestation is the decrease in production of the blood cells through the bone marrow

Anemia is a disease characterized by decreased hemoglobin in the bloodstream, which can have several causes, from a genetic change to poor diet. They usually produce similar symptoms such as dizziness, pallor, headache, weakness, dry skin and mucous membranes. To identify and confirm the diagnosis of anemia, the doctor usually asks for a blood test to evaluate the amount of hemoglobin, and is considered anemia when the value is less than 12 g / dL in women or 13 g / dL in men

Low pressure is usually not a problem, especially when the person has always had low blood pressure. However, if the pressure drops too quickly it can cause symptoms such as weakness, tiredness and dizziness or even fainting. Thus, in a person who has normal or high pressure but who has suffered a low pressure crisis should be: Wash hands before eating , preferably in a cool and well-ventilated place; Loosen clothing , especially around the neck; Raise your legs above the level of the heart

Hereditary spherocytosis is a type of anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells, a hemolytic anemia. It arises due to congenital defects in the membranes of the red blood cells, which end up being smaller and less resistant than usual, and are easily destroyed by the spleen. Spherocytosis is an inherited disease that accompanies the person from birth; however, it can progress with anemia of variable severity, so in some cases it may not cause symptoms or, in other cases, may cause intense pallor, tiredness, jaundice, enlargement of the spleen and developmental changes

To treat the gout disease, scientifically called Gouty Arthritis, it is recommended to take medications that act on uric acid, such as Colchicine, Allopurinol or Probenecid, which decrease uric acid in the body, accumulation of urates in the joints, as well as preventing crises. Already during a gout crisis, where there is intense inflammation and pain in the joint, the doctor usually directs the use of anti-inflammatory medications

Hypocalcaemia is the decrease in blood calcium levels, which most often does not cause any symptoms, and is usually identified in the blood test result. However, when the amount of calcium is too low, severe symptoms such as muscle spasms, mental confusion, and seizures can occur. Hypocalcemia usually arises when the body can not maintain normal circulating levels of free calcium, as in hypoparathyroidism or lack of vitamin D, for example, and treatment is done according to the cause, taking into account the severity of the disease

Hyperkalemia is characterized by the large amount of potassium in the blood that generates symptoms such as difficulty in breathing and fainting. As soon as this happens an ambulance should be called by calling the number 192 for the individual to receive immediate treatment, as this is a serious situation that can be fatal
