Anemia

At Khadke Hospital, we understand that anemia is a condition marked by a deficiency of red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin, which leads to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Symptoms often include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Anemia can result from various causes, including nutritional deficiencies (such as iron, vitamin B12, or folate), chronic conditions, bone marrow disorders, or inherited conditions like sickle cell anemia. The most common type, iron-deficiency anemia, may arise from insufficient dietary iron, blood loss, or increased iron needs during pregnancy.

Diagnosing anemia at Khadke Hospital begins with a complete blood count (CBC) test to assess RBC count, hemoglobin levels, and hematocrit. Based on the results, additional tests may be recommended to identify the underlying cause, such as iron studies, vitamin B12 assessments, or, in some cases, bone marrow biopsies. Our tailored treatment options may include dietary adjustments to boost iron or vitamin intake, oral or intravenous supplements, medications to stimulate RBC production, or blood transfusions in more severe cases.

Effective anemia management requires a holistic approach, and at Khadke Hospital, we support patients with personalized care plans, ongoing monitoring, and lifestyle guidance. Our team encourages a balanced diet with iron-rich foods (like lean meats, beans, and leafy greens), vitamin B12 sources (found in animal products), and folate from fruits and vegetables. With comprehensive treatment and supportive care, individuals with anemia can improve their symptoms and overall quality of life.
