High hematocrit is often seen in the elderly and is also very common in life. Many people do not know what hematocrit is, and its hematocrit is the rate of sedimentation of red blood cells like immunoglobulins, cholesterol, etc. can cause changes in hematocrit. Today, we will introduce the causes and solutions of high hematocrit to you.
What is a high hematocrit?
Sedimentation is the rate of cell sedimentation, which is the rate at which red blood cells fall per hour at rest. Under normal circumstances, there is no significant difference in the speed of hematocrit between normal people, except for the slower hematocrit in children and the slightly faster hematocrit in adult men and pregnant women. However, when suffering from certain diseases, the blood sedimentation can change significantly.
Any increase in immunoglobulins, fibrinogen, cholesterol, triglycerides in the blood or certain diseases can cause changes in blood sedimentation. For example, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant tumors, acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and various infections can increase the sedimentation rate. However, there are many other factors that affect the change of blood sedimentation, so the clinical diagnosis of a certain disease cannot be based on only one indicator of elevated blood sedimentation. It is necessary to combine the medical history and symptoms with a comprehensive physical examination in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
If your blood sedimentation is high, you should pay attention to a reasonable diet, regularize your life, increase physical activity, reduce salt use, reduce alcohol consumption, do more aerobic exercise, carefully observe the symptoms that occur, and go to the hospital for follow-up.
Life care: We recommend you to eat a reasonable diet, regularize your life, increase physical activity, observe the symptoms carefully and go to the hospital for follow-up.
Accelerated blood sedimentation is often associated with the following diseases.
1, inflammatory diseases, such as acute bacterial inflammation, where accelerated hematocrit occurs in 2 to 3 hours.
2, various acute systemic or localized infections, such as active tuberculosis, nephritis, myocarditis, pneumonia, septic encephalitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.
3. various collagenous diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, arteritis, etc.
4, tissue injury and necrosis, such as extensive tissue necrosis or injury, injury caused by major surgery, myocardial infarction, pulmonary infarction, fracture, severe trauma, burns and other diseases may also accelerate blood sedimentation.
5, suffering from severe anemia, blood disease, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, multiple myeloma, hyperthyroidism, heavy metal poisoning, malignant lymphoma, macroglobulinemia, chronic nephritis and other diseases, blood sedimentation can also show a significant acceleration trend.
Exercise can prevent diseases such as blood sink in the elderly
1, slow down the decline of the brain
Exercise can improve the function of the brain of the elderly, delaying the decline of function and play a role in preventing dementia. Especially for the elderly who use more brain, exercise can improve the brain’s memory capacity, help rest and sleep, while reducing brain fatigue.
2.Improve heart and lung function
Exercise can improve respiratory and cardiovascular function, can prevent and delay the occurrence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. Aerobic exercises like ballroom dancing, jogging, climbing and so on are good ways to improve cardiorespiratory function, and research has proved that the strength of cardiorespiratory function is directly related to the length of life, and the higher the cardiorespiratory function, the longer the life.
3.Enhance the immune system
Exercise can enhance the immune function of the elderly body and improve the resistance to various diseases.
4.Delay osteoporosis
Exercise can make the elderly bone, joint and muscle system ability to improve, delay osteoporosis and age-specific degenerative bone and joint disease. As the saying goes, “people get old before their legs get old,” exercise to improve muscle strength and bone and joint function is a sign of slowing down the aging process.
