The concept of anemia
Anemia is defined as the descent of hemoglobin in the blood to a certain extent, and there are many of the most important classifications according to the size of spherical red blood cells.
There are many causes of anemia, and what is particularly important here is anemia due to iron deficiency, which is the most common cause of anemia in the world. Anemia is generally felt as a general condition in the body, and its most important complication is that it leads to severe heart failure.
Causes of anemia with folic acid deficiency
- Do not eat vegetables in sufficient quantity, such as broccoli, spinach and basil.
- Take certain medications, such as epileptic drugs and methotrexate, which reduce absorption.
- Infection with certain diseases that affect the small intestine reduces its absorption.
- The increased need for this acid is an important cause of its deficiency, and this is clearly demonstrated in pregnant women.
The treatment of anemia is focused on the treatment of the cause, and we should not forget to give iron and folic acid to help patients.
