A high reticulocyte count suggests red blood cells are being produced but getting lost in the body; whereas a low count indicates insufficient red blood cell production or a nutritional iron deficiency. For those patients, Paranjape recommends foods fortified with iron and vitamin B12, such as cereals, bread products, and soy milk.
According to the Mayo Clinic, untreated iron-deficiency anemia can lead to serious health concerns including a rapid or irregular heartbeat , developmental delays in children, and, in pregnant women, an increased risk for premature births and low birth weight babies.
A recent study from researchers at the University of California, San Francisco suggests that older adults with anemia may be more likely to develop dementia.

Your body can more easily absorb iron from meats than from vegetables or other foods. To treat your anemia, your doctor may suggest eating more meat—especially red meat such as beef or liver , as well as chicken, turkey, pork, fish, and shellfish.
You can look at the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods to find out how much iron the items contain. The amount is given as a percentage of the total amount of iron you need every day. Iron also is available as a supplement. It's usually combined with multivitamins and other minerals that help your body absorb iron. Doctors may recommend iron supplements for premature infants, infants and young children who drink a lot of cow's milk, and infants who are fed breast milk only or formula that isn't fortified with iron.
Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to pernicious anemia. This type of anemia often is treated with vitamin B12 supplements. Folic acid folate is a form of vitamin B that's found in foods. Your body needs folic acid to make and maintain new cells. Folic acid also is very important for pregnant women. It helps them avoid anemia and promotes healthy growth of the fetus. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. Good sources of vitamin C are vegetables and fruits, especially citrus fruits.
Citrus fruits include oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, and similar fruits. Fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, and juices usually have more vitamin C than canned ones. If you're taking medicines, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether you can eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice.
This fruit can affect the strength of a few medicines and how well they work. Vegetables rich in vitamin C include broccoli, peppers, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, and leafy green vegetables like turnip greens and spinach. Your doctor may prescribe medicines to help your body make more red blood cells or to treat an underlying cause of anemia. Some of these medicines include:. If your anemia is severe, your doctor may recommend a medical procedure. Procedures include blood transfusions and blood and marrow stem cell transplants.
A blood transfusion is a safe, common procedure in which blood is given to you through an intravenous IV line in one of your blood vessels. Transfusions require careful matching of donated blood with the recipient's blood. It causes blood clots , destroys blood cells, and impairs bone marrow function.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is related to aplastic anemia. It often starts as aplastic anemia or arises after treatment for the condition. Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of conditions that cause the blood-making cells in your bone marrow to become abnormal. These cells die earlier and are more likely to be destroyed by your immune system. Myelodysplastic syndromes are considered a type of cancer. They may turn into acute myeloid leukemia , a type of blood cancer. Hemolytic anemia is when your red blood cells are destroyed faster than your body can make them.
It can be temporary or chronic. Sickle cell disease is an inherited type of anemia. It causes your red blood cells to be deformed — they become sickle-shaped, rigid, and sticky.
This causes them to get stuck in small blood vessels, which blocks blood flow throughout your body, depriving tissue of oxygen. Thalassemia can be mild or severe. It becomes severe if you inherit two copies of the gene that causes it.
Malarial anemia is a main symptom of severe malaria. Many factors contribute to its development, including:. Fanconi anemia FA is a genetic condition that impairs bone marrow and causes you to have a lower than normal amount of all types of blood cells. It often also causes physical abnormalities, such as malformed thumbs or forearms , skeletal abnormalities, a malformed or missing kidney , gastrointestinal abnormalities, infertility, and vision and hearing problems.
Fanconi anemia can also cause an increased risk of leukemia, as well as head, neck, skin , reproductive, and gastrointestinal cancers.
