Anaemia Profile
Anaemia is a serious condition that can make a person feel tired and weak and can lead to serious heart problems and other health complications. The good news is anaemia can be treated and people may regain their independence and go on to live healthier, more productive lives.
Anaemia may become worse if it is not treated, and it can lead to potentially serious, even life-threatening complications. When the number of red blood cells decreases, the heart works harder, pumping more blood to send more oxygen throughout the body.
If the heart works too hard, it can develop a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and/or another serious condition known as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), an enlargement of the heart muscle that in turn can lead to heart failure. Evidence shows that people who suffer from the following serious diseases are at greatest risk of developing anaemia:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Heart Disease
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
