Research Paper On Iron Deficiency Anemia

Anemia
Iron deficiency anemia is a blood disease where your body does not have sufficient iron to make red blood cells. Red blood cells are important for the body to provide oxygen to your brain and tissues. If the body does not have sufficient iron, the blood provided to the brain and tissues cannot be carried efficiently. The human body normally gets iron from the consumption of high iron food, and or from old red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia can occur when the body loses blood cells at a higher rate than they can be produced. The body cannot absorb iron, lack of iron rich foods, and or your body needs more iron rich food than normal for example in cases like a breastfeeding mother. Iron deficiency anemia can also affect strict vegetarians, and or older adults
Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the lungs to other tissues, the lack of oxygen in the organs is known as hypoxia. All cells in the body are dependent on oxygen to survive making it crucial and important for the body to carry its oxygen to the organs. Gastrointestinal tract bleeding is the most common cause for blood loss that develops iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia affects the circulatory system due to the lack of hemoglobin or iron in the blood making it hard for oxygen distribution. It can also affect the muscular system since it weakens the body especially the muscles due to the fatigue and tiredness one can suffer. The respiratory organ system is also affected due to the shortness of breath one can have from the fatigue the body endures. Iron deficiency anemia can also affect the cardiovascular system creating a heart problem with irregular heartbeats, the heart has to work harder since there isn't enough oxygen in the blood. Left ventricle dysfunction can occur in the most severe cases, when the heart continuously has trouble pumping the blood to the tissues in the body. Reversal of anemia can cause the effects to the heart to go away along with all the other
