Risk Group
”“ Vegetarian
Vegetarians tend to have pernicious
anemia resulted from lack in Vitamin
B12 and folic acid.
”“ Fast food addicts
People who are addicted to fast food tend to have anemia easily. That's because fast food contains polyphosphate that cannot be absorbed and easily combine with iron. Hence, iron deficiency anemia is formed gradually.
”“ Drug Abuser
Taiwanese hold no serious attitude toward drug use (medication). Improper drug use would destroy tissues of blood formation and cause aplastic anemia.
”“ Renal insufficiency
Kidney can secrete an endocrine that stimulates red blood cell formation from bone marrows. While, when having renal insufficiency, the secretion would decrease so as to effect production of red blood cells. That would lead to Aplastic anemia.
”“ Patients with gastric or intestinal ulcer
When having gastric or intestinal ulcers, patients would have a slight amount of bleeding (hemorrhage). The bleeding condition could be easily neglected. In the long run, the symptom may also cause chronic anemia. Therefore, patients who have chronic gastric or intestinal ulcer need to take preventive measurement as early as possible.
”“ Hyperthyroid or hypothyroid
Abnormal thyroid secretion can also affect blood formation. Their clinic symptoms are the same as anemia.
