What are some red blood cell disorders?
Anemia- Anemia is a disorder of the blood that lessens the number of blood cells or oxygen in the blood cells. It is the most common blood disorder. People with anemia can have little or no symptoms and signs at all. Anemia is caused by blood loss and body fluid overload.
Iron-deficiency anemia- In order to make red blood cells, iron is needed. Iron deficiency can be caused by blood loss or low iron intake. It can also be caused if your body doesn’t absorb or take in iron correctly or at all.
Malaria- Malaria is an infectious disease that causes the blood cells to rupture or break open. Mosquitos can carry the disease; if they bite you, it can be injected into the bloodstream.
Acidosis- Acidosis is a disorder that causes acid to appear within the tissues or blood plasma. The causes of this disorder can be drug overuse, alcohol, low blood sugar, or low blood sugar.
Anemia of chronic disease- Developing anemia can be caused by chronic diseases. This disease doesn’t usually need treatment.
Pernicious anemia- Pernicious anemia is a condition in which red blood cells cannot be produced because the red blood cells can’t function enough to make vitamin B12. This is cause by a lack of a protein in the stomach called intrinsic, which eventually leads to deficiency of vitamin B12
Aplastic anemia- Aplastic anemia is a disorder where your bone marrow cannot produce blood cells. It is very rare and very serious. It can be caused by exposure to toxins or substances. It can also be inherited through generations.
Thalassemia- This is a disorder that makes less blood cells and hemoglobin. This disease is an inherited disease. Thalassemia can be severe or mild.
Lymphoma- Lymphoma is a disease in the lymph system. this disorder is caused when a T or B cell becomes abnormal. The process is repetitious and continues making abnormal cells.
Multiple myeloma- Multiple myeloma is a cancer in the plasma cells. Over time the myeloma collects in the bone marrow or the solid parts in the bones. There is no real cause, but it can run in families and generations.
Myelodysplastic syndrome- Myelodysplastic syndrome is when the stem cells don’t mature properly and die within the bone marrow. This can lead to an infection or easily proned bleeding
Thrombocytopenia- Thrombocytopenia is any disorder with a low amount of platelets. Thrombocytopenia is often divided into three major causes of low platelets: the bone marrow doesn’t provide enough platelets, increased bloodstream breakdown of platelets, and increased spleen or liver breakdown of platelets.
