    Signs of Iron Deficiency and Anemia – What Symptoms to Watch For?

    The relationship between iron deficiency and anemia is not clear for many, as public belief suggests that the two are closely intertwined.

There are often cases where someone experiences fatigue and noticeable declines in mental and physical performance, yet laboratory tests do not show signs of iron deficiency. This phenomenon warns us that there may be other causes behind anemia, such as hematological issues or various diseases that hinder the delivery of oxygen to tissues.

    The functional disorders of platelets may lead to the appearance of bruises.

    A platelets, or thrombocytes, play a key role in the blood coagulation process, which is essential for stopping bleeding. These cells circulate in the bloodstream and respond quickly to any injury to prevent excessive blood loss. However, the functioning of platelets is not always seamless, and if dysfunction occurs, it can lead to serious bleeding disorders that can be life-threatening. Hematologists, such as Dr. Zsuzsanna Szélessy, emphasize that the health and function of platelets are crucial for the body.

    Hematocrit (HTC) – What information does it provide from the blood count?

    The hematocrit test shows the proportion of red blood cells in the blood, which provides important information about the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity. The measurement of hematocrit levels is part of a complete blood count and is essential for the joint evaluation of red blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and values related to hemoglobin concentration. In medical practice, hematocrit levels are often used to diagnose various hematopoietic system problems, as well as to identify bleeding and anemic conditions. Normal hematocrit levels for men range from 41-53%, while for women, they range from 37-44%. These values should be assessed in comparison to the reference values of the local laboratory, and it is…

    Az egészséges életmód jelentős szerepet játszik a szív- és érrendszeri betegségek megelőzésében, különösen a koleszterinszint és a trigliceridek szempontjából. A vérzsírok, mint például a trigliceridek, kiemelt figyelmet érdemelnek, mivel a magas szintjük szoros összefüggésben áll a szív- és érrendszeri problémák kialakulásával. A modern táplálkozási szokások és az ülő életmód miatt sok ember szenved magas trigliceridszinttől, ami fokozott kockázatot jelent a szív egészségére. Fontos kiemelni, hogy a trigliceridszint csökkentésére irányuló életmódbeli változtatások nemcsak lehetségesek, hanem hatékonyak is. Az egészséges táplálkozás, a testmozgás és a túlsúly leadása mind hozzájárulhat a vérzsírok szintjének csökkentéséhez. A kutatások azt mutatják, hogy az egészségtelen zsírok helyettesítése egészséges telítetlen zsírokkal, valamint a felesleges kalóriabevitel csökkentése már rövid…
