folic-acid-deficiency anemiaAnemia resulting from too little folic acid, needed for red-blood-cell maturation (see erythrocyte). White-cell and platelet levels are also often low. Progressive gastrointestinal problems develop. It may result from poor diet or from malabsorption, cirrhosis of the liver, or anticonvulsant drugs; it may also occur in the last three months of pregnancy and in severe hemolytic anemia (in which red cells break down). The blood profile resembles that of pernicious anemia. Taking folic acid causes rapid improvement; an adequate diet cures cases caused by malnutrition. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Considering the potential synergistic deleterious effects of Hey increase and folate deficiency on the central nervous system, these researchers believe folic acid should be supplemented in patients affected by PD in order to normalize blood Hey and folate levels, therefore potentially avoiding these risk factors for neurologic deterioration in this disorder. Symptoms of folate deficiency appear with a sore red tongue, anemia, fatigue, digestive disorders, insomnia, decreased memory, paranoia, heavy breathing, profuse menstrual bleeding, dry cough, graying hair, growth impairment and fetal birth defects. |
