Does magnesium deplete iron?
Although in vitro studies show that iron absorption can be inhibited by magnesium laxatives such as magnesium oxide, taking oral iron supplements with magnesium laxatives is not considered a clinical problem.
Does zinc lower iron levels?
Our results indicate that the use of iron supplements in women with marginal iron status improves iron indices with no effect on zinc status. However, use of a modest zinc supplement improves zinc indices, but also appears to induce a cellular iron deficiency and, possibly, further reduce iron status.
What is drug induced hemolytic anemia?
Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia is a blood disorder that occurs when a medicine triggers the body’s defense (immune) system to attack its own red blood cells. This causes red blood cells to break down earlier than normal, a process called hemolysis.
Does low vitamin B12 cause anemia?
Either a lack of vitamin B-12 or a lack of folate causes a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia (pernicious anemia). With these types of anemia, the red blood cells don’t develop normally.
What autoimmune disease destroys red blood cells?
Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) is a blood disease in which a person produces substances that cause their own body to destroy red blood cells (RBCs), resulting in anemia (low hemoglobin).
What autoimmune causes anemia?
