¡@ When you know that you have anemia, you should find the causes and take the right prescriptions. It is also important to have well health care including diets, medication and living.
Regular checkup for well control
¡@ Anemia is one of the common blood diseases. Most people think that lack of nutrition is key to the disease. According to hematologists doctor Cheng-jun Wang's suggestion, there are many causes of anemia. If anyone who feels symptoms of anemia, s/he should have blood checkup and consult with doctors to diagnose the types of anemia. It is suitable for not only women but also men who don't have specific symptoms. There are three suggested blood checkups as follows:
¡´
Checkup of red blood cell numbers (RBCs)
¡@ We can detect anemia degree from one cubic mm of red blood cell numbers currently. Formal value of male adult is around 4 million to 6 million / UL; female adult is around 3.8 million to 5.5 million / UL.
¡´ Checkup of haem value
¡@ Haem is composed of multiple polymer of polypeptides in the red blood cells that is responsible to carry oxygen in the bloods. We can detect degree and types of anemia if congenial or acquired pathological changes. Normal value of haem for male is around 14 to 18 g / dl; that of female is around 12.5 to 16g / dl.
¡´ Checkup of Hematocrit (HCT)
¡@ HCT means capacity of red blood cells in the bloods and is shown by percentage. Normal value of male is from 42 % to 58%; that of female is around 38 % of 48%. Anemia syndromes are approved when HCT of male is below 41 % and that of female is below 37%.
Health Care
¡@ Differential methods are not only dizziness and pale look; treatments of anemia are not only taking more foods helpful for production of blood. You should find cause of the disease first and then take right preventive measures. Suggested preventive and cure measures are as below:
