Folate deficiency, a lack of vitamin B9, can lead to fatigue, weakness, and even birth defects.
Pernicious Anemia
Pernicious anemia, an autoimmune condition, disrupts vitamin B12 absorption. This leads to fatigue, nerve problems, and a special type of anemia. Early diagnosis and B12 replacement therapy are key for good health.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia
Vitamin B12 keeps the red cells & nerves healthy, but deficiency can lead to fatigue, numbness, and weakness. Early diagnosis is key to prevent complications.

Spleen

Erythropoietin
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. It plays a crucial role in oxygen transport and is used to treat anemia in various conditions like kidney disease and cancer.

Homocysteine & Hyperhomocysteinemia

Beta Thalassemia
Beta thalassemia is a blood disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that produces beta globin, a protein that helps red blood cells carry oxygen. People with beta thalassemia may have mild to severe anemia, and may need blood transfusions and other treatments.
Hereditary Spherocytosis
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a blood disorder that causes red blood cells to be sphere-shaped and less flexible. This makes them more likely to break down, leading to anemia.
