Should we Treat the Anemia of Retinopathy and Cancer?
Anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells in the body. The Red Blood Cells (RBCs) carry oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms of anemia are, most notably, fatigue. Other symptoms are feelings of discomfort or uneasiness, shortness of breath, palpitations of the heart and lack of concentration. Nails may become flat or concave and skin pallor may be present. Anemia prevalence depends on many factors in cancer, but runs as high as 80-100% in patients treated with chemotherapy.
