,folate deficiency anemia


 Folate is another vitamin necessary for DNA synthesis of erythrocytes


 Folate deficiency anemia is commonly seen in alcoholics and malnourished people


 With this type, there is no enzyme responsible for making sure we absorb the folate. We

are strictly lacking an adequate amount


 Folate is found in dark, leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, beans and nuts

o Folic acid is a synthesized form of folate


 Clinical manifestations include:

o Cheilosis - fissures and scales in the mouth

o Stomatitis- inflammation of the mouth

painful ulcers of the tongue

Iron deficiency anemia- is the most common type of anemia


 There are many causes, including insufficient iron in the diet, certain medications,

excessive menstrual bleeding in females, or ulcer’s


 Iron is important because it is used for the production of HGB


 The development occurs slowly through 3 stages:

o Body’s iron stores are depleted. Normal blood cell production occurs

o Now insufficient amounts of iron are transported to the marrow where iron deficit

RBC’s are produced with low amounts of HGB

, o The HGB deficient cells enter circulation to replace the normal aging cells that

are getting ready to die


 Clinical manifestations start occurring at stage 3


 Early symptoms are non-specific including fatigue, weakness, and SOB


 As it become more severe, clinical manifestations can include:

o Koilonychias - the fingernails become brittle and concave or spoon shaped

o the tongue becomes sore and reddened

o the corners of the mouth become dry and sore

Sideroblastic anemia -is another type of anemia


 It is characterized by a problem with the synthesis or creation of HGB


 In SA, there is plenty of iron, but it is not used correctly to make the HGB


 The erythrocytes end up with a little bit of HGB and a circle of iron in the RBC itself


 SA’s can be classified as:

o Acquired: the most common and are idiopathic (no known cause)

o Hereditary: this is rare and is almost always found in men

o Reversible: this is associated with alcoholism because the alcohol impairs heme

synthesis


 CM’s include those commonly seen with anemia


 These people will also have signs of a syndrome called hemosiderosis or iron overload
