COMPLICATION OF ANEMIA

WHAT HAPPEN WHEN ANEMIA GETTING WORSE ?

There are many complications when anemia is not being treated. Like some other disease who are left untreated, it may lead into more health disease. In this case :

Anemia may lead into lack of Growth and Development,Infections, Severe Fatigue, Pregnancy complications, Heart Problems and it will be end with with a death.

Growth and Development may be lessen. The patient may get the below normal weight and may caused delayed sexual maturation. As for results and treatment, the patient must be given hormone theraphy.Renal may also get afffected and prolonged to be chronic tubulo-intertitial nephritis. On the other hand, the bones of hip joint may required to be replaced due to vaso-occlusion episodes that may be happening. If it prolonged, it may lead into chronic infarction.

Infection also might happen when there is less immunity being transport throughout the body system. These condition more happen in the common tissue like bone, lungs and kidney which can cause vaso-occlusion. Priapism(painful erection) may also happen due to vaso-occlusion. Eye also may get retinopathy due to the infection.

Severe fatigue can indicate that the patient have a severe condition of anemia. Less task can be done due to the tiredness because lack of oxygen and energy to proceed and complete everyday routine task. This long term fatigue also may eventually leads into clinical depresssion.

Pregnancy complication may happen to the mothers who have folate deficiency anemia. They are more likely to have premature birth and underweight. This is because they will have an impaired placental blood flow, intrauterine growth retardation, preclampsia and fetal death. However if the baby is born with an anemic mother, they themselves may have problems with anemia later on in infancy.

Heart problems may arise awhile after. Arrhythmia (a rapid and irregular heart beat) may arise when the body need to compensate the loss of oxygen and nutrient in the circulation of blood. This will eventually complicate the heart and makes the heart enlarged, happen to have congestive heart failure and leads to cardiac arrest.

Respiratory system also get affected. Shortness of breath, chest pain and hypoxia due to less oxygen circulate in the body may cause death in some times. Death is the final destination if the anemia is not treated. Some anemia such as sickle cell anemia can be serious and lead into life threatening conditions. Losing of blood may lead into acute,chronic anemia and may cause fatal.
