Anemia Nutrition And Non-Nutritional Anemia

Anemia is known to the public as less blood disease. The disease is experienced by vulnerable children, pregnant women, women, and workers in general. There are two types of anemia that are known so far that is nutritional anemia and non-nutrition. Anemia is a state of nutritional anemia due to lack of nutrients necessary for the formation and the production of red blood cells, both quality and quantity.

Nutritional anemia itself there are several kinds, namely:
1. iron nutritional anemia, occurs because of lack of supply of iron (Fe). An iron core of hemoglobin molecule which is a key element in red blood cells. Thus, the supply of iron deficiency can cause decreased production of hemoglobin.

2. nutritional anemia, vitamin E, vitamin E is an essential factor for red blood cell integrity. Lack of vitamin E can lead to the integrity of red blood cell wall becomes abnormally weak and thus very sensitive to hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells)

3. nutritional anemia folic acid, often referred to as megaloblastic anemia or makrositik. In this state of red blood cells are not normal people with the characteristics of larger ones, the numbers are few, and not ripe.

4. nutritional anemia or vitamin B12 is also called pernicious. Symptoms similar to symptoms of anemia folic acid, but is accompanied by disturbances in the digestive system inside.

5. nutritional anemia, vitamin B6, also called siderotic. The situation is similar to iron nutritional anemia, but if the blood is tested in the laboratory, normal serum iron.

Non-nutritional anemia can occur due to bleeding, such as injuries resulting from accidents, menstruation, or blood diseases like thalassemia genetic (DNA damage), hemophilia (blood clotting disorder), and others.

Signs
1. Experiencing 4 L (weak, lethargic, tired, and tired).
2. Face pale.
3. Members of the body such as hands and feet feel numb.
4. Eyes dizzy.
5. Heart pounding.
6. Less enthusiastic.

Cause
1. Iron deficiency occurs so that the cell size reduction of red blood cells (microcytic). This is causing low hemoglobin (hypochromic) and reduced number of red blood cells.
2. And folic acid deficiency or vitamin Bn. Both substances are needed in the formation of nucleoprotein for the ripening process of red blood cells in bone marrow.
3. Vitamin B12 deficiency and disorders of the digestive system along the inside. In the chronic type that can damage brain cells and abnormal fatty acids into the cell wall and its position on the neural network change. It is feared, the patient will experience mental disorders.
4. Lack of vitamin B5 will interfere with the synthesis (formation) of hemoglobin. Handling can be done by providing nutritional supplements of vitamin B6 orally at a dose of 50-200 mg / day or as recommended by a doctor of nutrition.

Prevention
1. Eating food major source of iron, folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 such as meat and vegetables according to the recommended nutritional intake.
2. Perform laboratory tests to determine the content of B12 in the blood so that it can distinguish between ordinary anemia with pernicious anemia. If it turns out normal levels of vitamin B12, it can be done with a dose of folic acid from 0.1 to 1.0 mg / day.
3. Perform blood tests regularly to see the profile of blood and prevent anemia.
