Severe anemia will cause great harm to the health of the body. If we don't pay attention to timely treatment, it will even lead to serious complications.

Let's take a concrete look at this aspect.
How is severe anaemia treated?
Treatment one: the principle of treatment of anemia, focusing on appropriate measures to eliminate the cause. Many times, the primary disease is much more serious than anemia itself (such as gastrointestinal cancer), and its treatment is more important than anemia. When the etiological diagnosis is not clear, drugs should not be thrown indiscriminately to complicate the situation and increase the difficulty of diagnosis.
Treatment 2: avoid abusing blood tonics, and strictly grasp the indications of various drugs. For example, vitamin B12 and folic acid are suitable for the treatment of megaloblastic anemia; Iron is only used for iron deficiency anemia, but not for non iron deficiency anemia, because it can cause iron overload and affect the function of important organs (such as heart, liver, pancreas, etc.); Vitamin B6 is used for iron granuloblastic anemia; Corticosteroids are used to treat autoimmune hemolytic anemia; Testosterone is used in aplastic anemia.
Treatment 3: the main advantage of blood transfusion is that it can quickly reduce or correct anemia. Therefore, it is necessary to master the indications of blood transfusion correctly. If a large amount of blood transfusion is needed, concentrated red blood cells can be infused in order to reduce the overload of cardiovascular system and transfusion reaction.
