Blood Cells & Why It's Important

A group of passionate medical science students that are keen to share knowledge and awareness to the community. Our main objective is to educate & create awareness to the public about blood cell diseases that occurs at a peak rate and cause increase in mortality rate. we believe that by creating awareness, people will be more aware of the body symptoms and be more responsible towards their body by getting a regular health check up, by which PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE.

How is anemia diagnosed and evaluated? Common symptoms of anemia include fatigue, irritability, headaches and difficulty concentrating. Your physician may detect a heart murmur or note a significant decrease in your blood pressure when you stand. A blood sample will provide an overall count of your white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. If results show anemia, additional tests may be required to determine the type of anemia and whether it is related to a more serious condition. Among these tests are: hemoglobin electrophoresis to assess hemoglobin levels in your blood a reticulocyte count to determine if your bone marrow is making red blood cells at the normal rate serum iron and serum ferritin tests to check the amount of iron in your blood and body a peripheral blood smear to see if anemia has caused the shape of your red blood cells to change an osmotic fragility test to determine if your red blood cells have become more fragile than usual Oth...

HELLO FOLKS, TODAY, LETS TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE RED BLOOD CELLS ARE PRODUCED IN OUR BODY! Because of the inability of erythrocytes (red blood cell s) to divide to replenish their numbers, the old ruptured cell s must be replaced by totally new cell s. They meet their demise because they don’t have the usual specialized intracell ular machinery, which controls cell growth and repair, leading to a short life span of 120 days. This short life span necessitates the process erythropoiesis , which is the formation of red blood cell s. All blood cell s are formed in the bone marrow. This is the erythrocyte factory, which is soft, highly cell ar tissue that fills the internal cavities of bones. HUMAN BONE MARROW During intrauterine development, the early stages of life, erythrocytes are produced first by the yolk sac and then by the developing spleen duri...

Greeting to all the fellow internet folks. A very warm welcome . We, a group of 5 medical science students, up from different racial background would like to share our knowledge with the fellow community here. We have a passion build up in this field and we are definitely eager to spread it to the people out there. Learning is two way process and we widely appreciate any kind of feed backs and comments to build up our skills and for the betterment of conveying our message to the community. This blog will mainly be about blood cells specifically about anemia. According to the World Health Organization, p revalence of anemia among women of reproductive age (% of women ages 15-49) in Malaysia was 24.90 as of 2016. Its highest value over the past 26 years was 40.60 in 1990, while it's lowest value was 21.90 in 2010. The value for prevalence of anemia among pregnant women (%) in Malaysia was 37.10 as of 2016. Over the past 26 years this indicator reached a maximum value...
