17. Chapter 62: Nutritional Anemias.

Author

Butensky, Ellen, Harmatz, Paul, and Lubin, Bertram

Abstract

Chapter 62 of the book "Nutrition in Pediatrics: Basic Science & Clinical Applications" is presented. It examines the relationships between nutritional deficiency and anemia. Anemia refers to inadequate circulating red blood cell mass which prevent tissue hypoxia. This disease can be related to blood loss, decreased red cell production, increased red cell destruction, or a combination of these events. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies that have been implicated as causes of anemia ar mentioned.

Abstract

Although it is life saving, transfusion therapy has resulted in the majority of sickle cell anemia and thalassemia patients being at risk for hemosiderosis-induced organ damage. It is unknown whether the complications of iron overload are affected by the underlying disease. In order to address this problem, we compared the prevalence of organ dysfunction in both groups of patients receiving chronic transfusion therapy (beta thalassemia, N = 30; sickle cell anemia, N = 43). Both groups had similar quantitative liver iron. Thalassemia patients had greater cardiac disease (20% vs. 0%), growth failure (27% vs. 9%), and endocrine failure (37% vs. 0%). The strongest predictors of combined endocrine and cardiac disease in multivariate analysis were duration of chronic transfusion (P = 0.03) and diagnosis (P = 0.03). Quantitative liver iron concentration on a single liver biopsy was not predictive of cardiac or endocrine injury. Viral hepatitis is the strongest predictor of hepatocellular damage (P = 0.009), while the development of liver fibrosis is more closely related to liver iron concentration (P = 0.04). In conclusion, sickle cell anemia and thalassemia differ in the prevalence of organ injury. This difference is related to the duration of iron exposure and the specific hemoglobinopathy. A prospective study with a larger number of subjects is needed to confirm the relationships between specific diagnosis, liver iron concentration over time, and organ dysfunction., (Copyright 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.)
