Anemia is also a common symptom of the elderly. Anemia of the elderly may be a disease. So, how to prevent anemia? How to replenish blood?
Anemia in the elderly may be a disease
Some old people's anaemia is caused by diseases, such as digestive tract hidden bleeding, even cancer and other serious diseases. Many old people first came to the hematology department for consultation because of anemia, but finally after examination, they found that it was originally gastric cancer or colorectal cancer. In addition, kidney disease and some serious blood diseases also have anemia.
On the other hand, anemia will in turn affect and aggravate the chronic diseases existing in the elderly. This is because the red blood cells in the human blood can supply the oxygen needed by the whole body tissues and cells, and take away part of the carbon dioxide produced. Therefore, the reduction of the number of red blood cells can directly lead to organ dysfunction and pathological changes. The elderly, especially those with chronic diseases, have a state of hypoxia. If anemia occurs again, the original chronic diseases will be aggravated. Experts say that people with coronary heart disease, for example, have heart ischemia and hypoxia, and anemia will aggravate such problems, leading to increased incidence of angina and even sudden death.
