Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or haemoglobin content in the blood falls below normal. The most common form is iron deficiency anaemia, which is caused by a lack of iron.
In anaemia, the number of red blood cells or the haemoglobin content of the blood is below normal.
This leads to a reduced ability of the blood to transport oxygen to the tissues and organs. The most common form of anaemia is iron deficiency anaemia, which is caused by a lack of iron, an important component of haemoglobin.
Typical symptoms of anaemia are tiredness, paleness, shortness of breath, dizziness and reduced physical performance. In severe cases, palpitations, headaches and concentration problems can occur. The causes of anaemia can be varied and include iron deficiency, vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency, chronic diseases, blood loss (e.g. due to heavy menstrual bleeding or internal bleeding) and genetic diseases such as thalassaemia.
The treatment of anaemia depends on the cause. In the case of iron deficiency anaemia, iron supplements are usually prescribed to replenish the body's iron stores. An iron-rich diet, which includes foods such as red meat, pulses, spinach and wholemeal products, can also help to increase iron intake.
If there is a deficiency of vitamin B12 or folic acid, appropriate dietary supplements are prescribed. If there is a chronic illness or other underlying cause, this must be treated in order to correct the anaemia. Lactoferrin could help in the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anaemia, as it binds iron in the body, promotes its absorption in the intestine and at the same time improves the availability of iron for the red blood cells.
Prevention plays an important role, especially for at-risk groups such as women of childbearing age, pregnant women and vegetarians or vegans who may not be getting enough iron or vitamin B12 from their diet. Regular blood tests can help to detect signs of anaemia at an early stage and treat it in good time.
