#TiBC

[lungfuls]

I'm having particularly bad symptoms of presumably anemia today?? Since before I saw the lab results, so idt it's placebo. I'm very lightheaded and have a headache that isn't fading (no alcohol for 10 days and way more water consumption than I ought to need). Idk if that's because they took so much of my blood🧛🏻‍♂️ yesterday? Idk. I'm kind of excited bc I've had anemia stuff tested before but never TIBC before yesterday and my results indicate that there's a dysfunction with iron binding to blood cells or something and it sounds like maybe this could be related to all my disparate symptoms over the years. Which would be a relief. To learn 1. I'm not just insane or overly sensitive to pain/discomfort 2. If I can change my diet or take some meds that will make me normal 👍

Health update: I have low TIBC and low UIBC.

Tomorrow a family member will be ordering my tests for a hospital that I'll do the day after tomorrow.

I've had veins not be good today while I was getting bloodwork done. Bleed too much. Fatigue, dizziness, joint pain, back pain, pain and bleeding in lower digestive tract (not emergency don't worry), am pale, have cold hands and feet. I don't feel nausea. I didn't vomit.

Started taking medication for irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Started taking stronger more probiotics. Taking vitamin B12. Taking magnesium. Drinking lots of water.

Took less bathroom visits today. Good, but I'm still in pain.

My hormones are okay-ish I believe. That's good. I also don't have a tumor it looks like which is awesome.

Was overwhelmed at the hospital because they had to poke me four times. Because my veins are weak. Its not that I'm scared, no, just sensory issues. Being poked with anything small makes me overwhelmed often times.

Overall am okay now, just fatigued and pained. Pain will pass eventually I hope.

ANEMIA – A COMMON BUT RARELY DISCUSSED CONDITION | IRON DEFICIENCY

Anemia is a health concern impacting majorly women, adolescent girls, and young children, yet it largely remains unnoticed and unaddressed. As per the World Health Organization, Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a decreased number of red blood cells or a lower-than-normal concentration of haemoglobin in the blood. Red blood cells are an essential component of blood and are responsible for carrying oxygen to various parts of the body. Based on the latest National Family Health Survey, during the last half-decade, anemia, mostly occurring among women and children, has become worse in most states/union territories. In 2019, anemia was detected in 68.4% of youngsters and 66.4% of all women, compared to 35.7% of kids and 46.1% of women in 2016. In this blog, we will explore the causes, symptoms, and treatment of Anemia.

Let us, first understand what causes Anemia?

Deficiency of Iron: Intake of food deficient in iron or poor food intake can contribute to anemia. Poor absorption of iron from the diet also leads to anemia. Iron is either derived, from plant-based foods in the form of non-heme iron or animals in the form of heme iron. Heme iron has a high absorption of up to 35%. However, non-heme iron is poorly absorbed (up to 8.7%) due to certain inhibitors present in the diet.

Menstrual Flow: Heavy menstrual flow during menses is the most common cause of anemia in women. Apart, from that, lack of awareness and poor dietary intake of iron-rich foods also lead to anemia. 

Deficiency of Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, and Vitamin C: Vitamin B12 is crucial in making red blood cells and proteins. Folate works with iron in the production of red cells. Vitamin C is important for the absorption of iron. A diet lacking in any of these micronutrients can lead to anemia.

Auto-immune Reaction or Genetics: These conditions involve the premature destruction of red blood cells, leading to a shorter lifespan of these cells. Having a family history can increase the risk of inherited anemia like sickle cell anemia.

What are the symptoms of anemia?

Fatigue & Weakness: Due to a low red blood cell count, the body’s organs and tissues do not receive enough oxygen, and hence, there is a sense of general weakness and fatigue. 

Pale Skin and Nail Beds: A noticeable paleness of the skin and nail beds can be indicative of anemia. Reduced haemoglobin levels result in decreased blood flow, leading to paler complexion.

Shortness of Breath: Less oxygen supply to the body’s tissues can cause shortness of breath, especially during physical activities.

Dizziness and Headache: Anemic individuals may experience dizziness and headaches, often accompanied by difficulty concentrating.

Cold Hands and Feet: Poor blood circulation can result in cold hands, and feet, as the body struggles to maintain optimal body temperature.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is time for you to do blood work and understand the blood test parameters.

Following are the blood tests that you can do – 

Complete Blood Count (CBC): A CBC is a standard blood test that provides information about the quantity and quality of blood cells. 

Serum Iron Studies: These tests assess the levels of iron in the blood and include –

Serum Iron: The amount of iron in the blood. 

Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): The capacity of proteins in the blood to bind to iron. 

Ferritin: A protein that stores iron; low levels may indicate iron deficiency

Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid: Blood tests help measure levels of vitamin B12 and folate to identify deficiencies that may cause anemia.

Here are a few ways of managing the anemia –       

1. Incorporate iron-rich foods: Consuming iron-rich foods is essential. Good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, lentils, beans, tofu, Dates, Dry fruits, and dark green leafy vegetables

2. Enhance Iron Absorption: Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods helps in iron absorption. 

For example, adding citrus fruits, lemons, tomatoes, or bell peppers to a meal can help improve iron absorption from plant-based sources.

3. Incorporate foods with vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is primarily, found in animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. For individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet, fortified foods or B12 supplements may be necessary.

4. Incorporate foods with Folate: Foods rich in folate include dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale), legumes (lentils, chickpeas), fortified cereals, oranges, and avocados. A supplementation, of folic acid, is recommended in cases of severe deficiency or when dietary intake is insufficient.

5. Limiting foods that inhibit iron absorption: Intake of certain foods can inhibit the absorption of iron. For example, calcium can interfere with non-heme iron absorption, so avoid consuming calcium and iron-rich foods or supplements together.

6. Regular Meals: Eating regular, balanced meals can help maintain stable iron, b12 and folic acid levels.

7. Use iron cast vessels to cook food: Using cast-iron cookware can increase the iron content of foods, especially when cooking acidic dishes.

Anemia is a widespread health issue that can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to address anemia effectively. Whether it’s through dietary changes, supplementation, or medical interventions, addressing anemia is very important to lead a healthy life. If you suspect you may have anemia or are experiencing symptoms, consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan.

Anemia Tests: Importance, Types, and Interpretation

Anemia, characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, is a widespread condition that can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Anemia tests play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing this condition effectively. Understanding the importance, types, and interpretation of anemia tests is essential for healthcare professionals and individuals alike.

Importance of Anemia Tests:

Anemia tests are instrumental in identifying the underlying cause of anemia and determining the appropriate course of treatment. They help healthcare providers assess the severity of anemia, monitor response to treatment, and identify any complications that may arise. Early detection and management of anemia can prevent complications such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and impaired cognitive function, improving overall health and quality of life.

Types of Anemia Tests:

Complete Blood Count (CBC): A CBC is the primary test used to diagnose anemia. It measures various components of the blood, including red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Abnormal values in these parameters can indicate the presence of anemia and provide clues about its underlying cause.

Peripheral Blood Smear: In this test, a sample of blood is examined under a microscope to evaluate the size, shape, and number of red blood cells. Abnormalities such as microcytosis (small red blood cells) or macrocytosis (large red blood cells) can suggest specific types of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia or megaloblastic anemia.

Iron Studies: Iron studies measure various markers of iron metabolism, including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). These tests help differentiate between different types of anemia and assess the body’s iron status.

Vitamin B12 and Folate Levels: Deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folate can cause megaloblastic anemia. Measuring serum levels of vitamin B12 and folate can help diagnose and monitor these deficiencies.

Bone Marrow Biopsy: In certain cases, a bone marrow biopsy may be necessary to evaluate the production and maturation of blood cells within the bone marrow. This invasive procedure is usually reserved for cases where other tests have not provided a definitive diagnosis.

AstoLabs for Anemia Testing:

For comprehensive and accurate anemia testing, AstoLabs offers state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in Chennai. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, AstoLabs provides a wide range of anemia tests, including CBC, iron studies, vitamin B12 and folate levels, and peripheral blood smears. Utilizing advanced technology and experienced professionals, AstoLabs ensures reliable results and personalized care for individuals seeking anemia testing services.

Interpretation of Anemia Tests:

Interpreting anemia test results requires a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s medical history, symptoms, and physical examination findings. Abnormalities in specific parameters, such as low hemoglobin or MCV levels, can indicate different types of anemia and guide further diagnostic evaluation. Additionally, the presence of other abnormalities, such as abnormal white blood cell or platelet counts, may suggest underlying conditions contributing to anemia.

Conclusion:

Anemia tests play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing anemia, a common yet potentially serious health condition. By accurately identifying the underlying cause of anemia, these tests enable healthcare providers to implement appropriate treatment strategies and monitor the patient’s response to therapy effectively. Regular screening and prompt management of anemia are essential for maintaining overall health and well-being, and AstoLabs in Chennai provides comprehensive anemia testing services to support these efforts.

How to Increase Hemoglobin Naturally

There are many different kinds of anemia. Both cancer and the treatment for cancer can cause aplastic anemia, where one’s body cannot make enough red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, or hemoglobin.  

As mentioned in a previous post, there are natural ways to help increase one’s red blood cell count.  This starts with giving your body the necessary ingredients for red blood cell production, including vitamins B6, B9 (folate), B12, iron, and copper. 

This is also true with hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Oxygen strongly binds to iron, so an increase in iron can raise one’s hemoglobin level. If your hemoglobin is low, it’s a good idea to ask your doctor to test your iron, ferritin (stored iron), TIBC (total iron binding capacity), and iron saturation levels in order to determine exactly how much iron you need. As a functional medicine doctor, my target lab values for each are as follows:

Iron - 100 Ferritin - 100 TIBC - 350 Iron Saturation - 35-40%

Too much iron can cause toxicity in the body so it’s important to have your levels checked before starting on an iron supplement. Also, some iron supplements can cause GI upset, nausea, and constipation. Here’s one I use in my practice that I strongly recommend. It's highly absorbable and (generally) does not have any side effects, Thore Ferrasorb (Iron).  

In addition, here is a list of foods that are high in iron. 

Red meat (beef, lamb)

Poultry (chicken, turkey)

Seafood (oysters, clams, tuna, shrimp)

Legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans)

Dark leafy green vegetables (spinach, kale, escarole, collard greens)

It’s also important to consume foods that are high in vitamin B12, B9 (Folate), and chlorophyll as they help with red blood cell production. 

Foods High in Vitamin B12:

Shellfish (clams, mussels, crab)

Fish (salmon, trout, tuna)

Meat (beef, lamb)

Poultry (chicken, turkey)

Eggs

Fortified plant-based milk alternatives (like almond, cashew, macadamia, and coconut milk)

Foods High in Vitamin B9 (Folate):

Dark leafy green vegetables 

Asparagus

Broccoli

Legumes

Beans (lentil, black bean, kidney bean)

Avocado

Citrus fruits (orange, lemon, lime. Avoid grapefruit as it may interact with medications.)

Fortified cereals and bread

Foods High in Chlorophyll: 

Spinach

Kale

Romaine

Arugula

Seaweed 

Finally, it's worth noting that consuming foods rich in vitamin C along with iron-rich foods can enhance iron absorption. Additionally, avoid consuming foods that may inhibit iron absorption, such as tea, coffee, and calcium-rich foods, during or immediately after meals.

While iron supplements and diet can help increase hemoglobin levels, it's always best to consult with your personal healthcare providers for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized advice and consider exploring these resources for additional support.

What exactly are iron tests?

To monitor your iron levels, iron tests detect several elements in your blood. Iron is a mineral that is required for the formation of red blood cells. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Iron is also necessary for normal muscle, bone marrow, and organ function. Iron levels that are too low or too high can cause serious health problems.Different types of iron tests include:The serum iron test determines the quantity of iron in the blood.The transferrin test analyses transferrin, a protein that transports iron throughout the body.Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is a measurement of how efficiently iron binds to transferrin and other proteins in the blood.The ferritin blood test determines how much iron is stored in the body.For more information, consult Aspira Diagnostics the Best  Pathology Lab in Ghatkopar.

my doctors office called me at 515 last night and didn't even leave a voicemail. on my patient portal my doctor had written a note about my lab results but claimed im not anemic (which I don't understand - I haven't had double digit ferritin levels in over a year and now my TIBC is way higher than its ever been) so my body can bind iron but can't store it anywhere. and my platelet count is low. so she said to take iron + b12 supplements plus my prenatal, or she can send the results to my obgyn - which I want her to do, so they know what's going on. this is still my PCP I've wanted to leave for like a year now. she also wrote "did she contact her OB about the high blood pressure?" (I did)

anyways after that was a note from a nurse saying they tried to contact me and it's said "LVM requesting a callback. First attempt. Postponed."

um. you didn't leave a voicemail?? i just feel like that's supposed to be for internal communication but they don't know I can read it.

ugh I hate this office. I want to see what my OB says about the labs, and I feel like I need a hematology consult at this point. WHY CANT I GET AN INFUSION?? even my Neurologist is like "why haven't they sent you for an iron infusion yet??" she had to get them during her pregnancy too.

I'm so tired and feel so crappy and I'm so irritable and I hate it.
