Entire Body System
- Anemia
In this report studies were performed on 6 normals, 13 patients with anemia from infection or inflammation, and 18 patients with anemia caused by advanced malignancy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Malaria is probably the most common cause of hemolytic anemia on a worldwide basis, and much has been learned about how the parasite enters the erythrocyte and the mechanism of anemia. [mhmedical.com]
- Pallor
Some of the most common symptoms are: General feeling of tiredness or weakness (fatigue) Lack of energy Pale skin (pallor) Dizziness Headaches Other signs and symptoms that may develop as the anemia becomes more severe include a feeling of cold or numbness [labtestsonline.org]
Workup
Serum
- Ferritin Increased
Serum iron and percentage saturation of transferrin decreased, whereas serum ferritin increased significantly. Mean cell volume, iron-binding capacity, protoporphyrin, and haptoglobin did not show changes. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Treatment
Steroid and immunoglobulin treatment induced remission. Conclusion Influenza virus infection or the administration of influenza vaccine only infrequently induces AIHA. Patients with AIHA often achieve spontaneous or treatment-induced remission. [omicsonline.org]
Many treatment options can reduce anemia side effects during cancer treatment. The earlier you seek treatment, the less likely you are to develop serious complications. Keep reading: The best leukemia blogs of the year » [healthline.com]
Treatment The most common treatments for swelling in the hands and the feet are pain medicine and an increase in fluids, such as water. [cdc.gov]
Treatment may include: Blood transfusions Corticosteroid medicines Treatment to strengthen your immune system (using intravenous immune globulin) Rituximab In more severe cases, the following treatments may be needed: Surgery to remove the spleen Medicine [hopkinsmedicine.org]
If left untreated, anemia can interfere with treatment and strain the heart and lungs. [cancersupportcommunity.org]
Prognosis
In view of the good prognosis, the therapy of choice consists simply in adnexectomy of the affected side. With regular measurement of serum androgen levels an effective control of the course of the disorder is possible. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Long-term outlook for people with anaemia The person’s outlook (prognosis) depends on the cause of their anaemia. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
With early institution of therapy, the prognosis in malaria is excellent. However, when treatment is delayed or the strain is resistant to the administered agent, falciparum malaria may follow a rapid fatal course. BARTONELLOSIS In 1885, Daniel A. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]
Iron overload is associated with a poor prognosis in HIV and Hepatitis C virus infections. Iron redistribution may be caused by inflammation but possibly also by hepatitis C co-infection. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]
Anemia should be actively managed, they put forth, because the condition “has been associated with a relatively poor prognosis” and is associated with suboptimal oxygen delivery. 7) However, Zarychanski and Houston state ACD is fundamentally an adaptive [mpkb.org]
Etiology
The etiologies of hemolysis often are categorized as acquired or hereditary. Common acquired causes of hemolytic anemia are autoimmunity, microangiopathy, and infection. [aafp.org]

Pathophysiology
Three pathophysiologic mechanisms have been identified: Slightly shortened RBC survival, thought to be due to release of inflammatory cytokines, occurs in patients with cancer or chronic granulomatous infections. [merckmanuals.com]
Pathophysiology [ edit ] Anemia is considered when RBCs count : < 4.5 million in males < 3.9 million in females Or Hemoglobin ( Hb ) content : < 13.5 gm % in males < 11.5 gm % in females In response to inflammatory cytokines, increasingly IL-6, [2] the [en.wikipedia.org]
