Treatment of anemia

Since anemia is not a disease but some of the common symptoms of the disease, the first treatment is to remove the principle causes. If more serious anemia and needs a blood transfusion to correct anemia directly or temporarily relieve anemia measures. But in a clear diagnosis before, and to avoid indiscriminate drugs, such as vitamin B12, folic acid, liver injection, iron or other so-called "anti-anemia drug." Such an arrangement would not only be effective, as they relax or abandon the search for the right cause, delay treatment, this will be harmful to patients, or even have serious consequences. Removal of causes, not just to cure anemia, is more important to the overall health of patients. Because sometimes the basic cause anemia disease far exceeds the seriousness of anemia itself, such as stomach cancer or colon bleeding caused by chronic anemia, and identify the reasons for the treatment of anemia is not only to correct anemia, more important is the eradication of colon cancer, or gastric cancer. So, just simply ignore the treatment of anemia caused anemia treatment of the basic disease, it would be tantamount. The effect of treatment of anemia, most decisions on the nature and causes of whether eradication. If the cause can be completely eliminated or corrected, anemia also can get cured. If the reasons for anemia identified, had the disease but the basic treatment to be ineffective, anemia difficult to eradicate, can only adopt a symptomatic treatment. Bleeding is the common cause of anemia, can be the result of different causes, and take appropriate measures to stop bleeding treatment is very important. Excessive menstrual bleeding or with hormone therapy or surgery, in general, able to make stop bleeding, anemia and cured. Nutritional deficiencies caused by certain hematopoietic raw materials shortage of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia, folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency caused by giant Anemia, with iron, folic acid or vitamin B12 treatment, good results can generally be cured. It is necessary to rectify the lack of those substances caused reasons. The reason for the lack of the poor quality of food, there may be other factors, such as the number of pregnancy, lactation, the partial eclipse phase, the long-term loss of appetite, chronic diarrhea. Cause of the reasons for the lack of nutrition if not removed, efficacy usually not ideal, even if they bear fruit in future might relapse. If infection or inflammation can be controlled, can reduce anemia. By endocrine disease replacement therapy, anemia can be corrected or reduced, but as chronic renal failure, liver disease, malignant tumors or metastases broad, systemic lupus erythematosus advanced the secondary anemia due to the efficacy of the basic disease poor, in addition to blood transfusion, it is very difficult to reduce anemia . Drug-induced hemolytic anemia and iron anemia in patients stop after contact with the drug, anemia, tend to be faster or even disappear gradually reduce. But some drugs or poison caused by the Aplastic Anemia, a clear cause, nor to contact patients, but bone marrow hematopoietic tissue has been very seriously damaged injury, the patient is difficult to restore or cure. At this time if the bone marrow transplant and is successful, curable. Treatment of anemia of the main drug treatment, blood transfusion, splenectomy and bone marrow transplantation. Clinically, according to different causes of different types of anemia, can be a form of therapy or treatment.
