One to two people per million worldwide. [ 1] Drug-induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia also known as Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) is a rare cause of hemolytic anemia. It is difficult to differentiate from other forms of anemia which can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Many different types of antibiotics can cause ...
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia ( AIHA) is an autoimmune disorder which occurs when antibodies directed against the person's own red blood cells (RBCs) cause them to burst ( lyse ), leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in circulation ( anemia ). The lifetime of the RBCs is reduced from the normal 100–120 days to ...
Specialty. Hematology. Drug-induced nonautoimmune hemolytic anemia is a form of hemolytic anemia . Non-immune drug induced hemolysis can occur via oxidative mechanisms. This is particularly likely to occur when there is an enzyme deficiency in the antioxidant defense system of the red blood cells. An example is where antimalarial oxidant drugs ...
1 per 1000 people [ 8] Pernicious anemia is a disease where not enough red blood cells are produced due to a deficiency of vitamin B 12. [ 5] Those affected often have a gradual onset. [ 5] The most common initial symptoms are feeling tired and weak. [ 4]
An anemia is a red blood cell defect that can lead to an undersupply of oxygen. [ 1] Megaloblastic anemia results from inhibition of DNA synthesis during red blood cell production. [ 2] When DNA synthesis is impaired, the cell cycle cannot progress from the G2 growth stage to the mitosis (M) stage. This leads to continuing cell growth without ...
Specialty. Endocrinology. Hyperinsulinemia is a condition in which there are excess levels of insulin circulating in the blood relative to the level of glucose. While it is often mistaken for diabetes or hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinemia can result from a variety of metabolic diseases and conditions, as well as non-nutritive sugars in the diet.
Hypoalbuminemia (or hypoalbuminaemia) is a medical sign in which the level of albumin in the blood is low. [1] This can be due to decreased production in the liver, increased loss in the gastrointestinal tract or kidneys, increased use in the body, or abnormal distribution between body compartments.
A macrocytic class of anemia is an anemia (defined as blood with an insufficient concentration of hemoglobin) in which the red blood cells (erythrocytes) are larger than their normal volume. The normal erythrocyte volume in humans is about 80 to 100 femtoliters (fL= 10 −15 L). In metric terms the size is given in equivalent cubic micrometers ...
