Hematology
About me
After graduation, I have been working in the Hematology Department at Kaifeng Central Hospital, engaging in clinical work. I have gained certain clinical experience in common diseases in the field of hematology, and have also assisted other clinical departments in auxiliary treatments.
Proficient in diseases
Specializes in common diseases of hematology, such as leukemia, hemophilia, anemia, lymphoma, thrombocytopenia, tetanus, hypoglycemia, aplastic anemia, neonatal hemorrhage, vitamin deficiencies, and other autoimmune diseases.

Anemia lacks what element
Anemia is not always caused by a deficiency in elements. In cases of iron deficiency anemia, it is due to a lack of iron. Megaloblastic anemia occurs because of a deficiency in folate or vitamin B12. However, clinically, there are many other types of anemia, such as aplastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, leukemia, etc. The anemia caused by these diseases is not due to a deficiency in elements, but is due to the diseases themselves affecting bone marrow hematopoiesis, leading to anemia. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly diagnose the cause of anemia in order to treat it effectively.
Aplastic anemia is classified into several types.
Aplastic anemia is divided into two types: acute aplastic anemia and chronic aplastic anemia. Acute aplastic anemia presents suddenly and is severe. Treatment requires intensified immunotherapy or suppression of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Chronic aplastic anemia develops slowly, has a longer history, and is relatively less severe. The treatment for chronic aplastic anemia mainly involves immunotherapy combined with therapy to promote hematopoiesis. In addition, regardless of the type, all cases of aplastic anemia require regular complete blood count checks and, when necessary, supportive treatment with red blood cell and platelet transfusions.
How to recuperate from anemia
How to nourish anemia depends on the specific cause of the anemia, and it varies with the specific cause. If the anemia is nutritional, this type is due to a lack of hematopoietic materials such as folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron. In this case, it is necessary to actively supplement these hematopoietic materials, including eating foods that are rich in these materials. However, if the cause of anemia is due to leukemia, aplastic anemia, myeloma, lymphoma, etc., then it is necessary to treat the underlying disease to improve the anemia. In addition, patients with anemia need to pay attention to rest, prevent catching cold, and prevent infections.
