The fastest way to treat anemia is through blood transfusion, but the treatment of the cause is more important.
1. Intravenous blood transfusion can raise hemoglobin in the shortest possible time, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting anemia, which is faster than correcting the cause of the disease. However, blood transfusion can only raise the hemoglobin level temporarily. The cause of the anemia should be identified in time and treated in order to avoid the decrease of hemoglobin again after stopping blood transfusion.
2. Common types of anemia include iron deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia. Iron deficiency anemia should be supplemented with iron supplements (ferrous sulfate), and iron rich foods such as red meat should be eaten more often. Megaloblastic anemia should be supplemented with folic acid or vitamin B12, and the cause of the disease, such as parasitic infection, should be corrected. All the above treatments and medications should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
3. In addition, anemia can also be seen in aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc., need to address the cause of the treatment, such as acute myeloid leukemia to be cytarabine, Zoerythromycin, and other drugs chemotherapy.
