Is it possible to develop iron deficiency anemia, without having heavy menstrual periods?
Q. Today I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. I can't seem to think of a reason for this, because I don't think I have heavy periods . Can anyone help me?
Asked by Sylvia - Tue Feb 10 20:52:42 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes. Most women are a little bit anemic because of menstruation. For a woman who is naturally anemic menstruation can make it worse even if it isn't heavy. You just need to get more iron in your diet is all.

Can regular Iron Deficiency Anemia be life-threatening?
Q. My sister has a bad case of Anemia that she needs iron shots. Iron pills aren't enough to build up the iron level and hemoglobin in her blood. That's how bad it is. I know that Aplastic and Sickel Cell are life-threatening. The Iron Deficiency Anemia I know causes fatigue, listlessness, pallor, shortness of breath, nausea, and lightheadedness. I think it can either cause congestive heart failure or cardiac arrest if not treated. Do you know if it can become really dangerous?

A. They'll probably put you on iron supplements and do further testing to see why you're so anemic. As a last ditch, in emergency situations, IV transfusion of packed red blood cells may be used. *** I'm surprised that your doctor hasn't ordered other testing since there has been no improvement over a few months time with supplementation. Perhaps it's time to ask your doctor for a referral to a hematologist.

Asked by Versus18 - Sun Jan 17 23:55:09 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Surefire way? No. Because if you want to call an anemia, iron deficiency anemia you have to see that iron level is low and iron binding capacity is high in blood. So you need to have a blood check up. But check the finger nails of the patient. 'Koilonychia' which is curved shape of nails with a central depression (you can see pictures of it if you search in google) is associated with cases of iron def. anemia. But its presence or not does not confirm or rule out the diagnosis. If the anemia is due to chronic blood loss then it is mostly iron def. anemia.

Q. Is it the simple prick of the finger test or not?
Asked by CourtneyMT - Thu Nov 2 21:38:01 2006 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. When a doctor tests a person for Anemia, tests usually ordered are: CBC, Iron, Transferrin, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Transferrin transports iron and helps prevent loss of iron through the kidneys. It binding of iron helps prevent iron deposits in the tissues if there is excess. Looking at the blood slide when doing a CBC, Iron deficient person's red cells will be hypochromic-microcytic; generally agreed that the MCV <70, the TIBC will be increased, serum Iron will decrease, reticulocyte count will begin to elevate.

A. Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by pallor, fatigue and weakness. Because it tends to develop slowly, adaptation occurs and the disease often goes unrecognized for some time. In severe cases, dyspnea can occur. Unusual obsessive food cravings, known as pica, may develop. Hair loss and lightheadedness can also be associated with iron deficiency anemia. Other symptoms patients with iron deficiency anemia have reported are: -Constipation -Tinnitus -Palpitations -Seeing Bright Colors -Fainting, Feeling faint -Depression -Weakness -Breathlessness -Mild Shock -Twitching Nerves, Tingling, Numbness -Burning sensations -Sleep apnea (rare)
