What is Anemia?
Anemia is defined as a low red blood cell count. Since the red blood cells contain a molecule known as hemoglobin, we simply measure its concentration. If the amount of hemoglobin is less than 12 grams, the patient is said to be anemic. If the value is less than 11 grams, treatment is generally required.
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a joint disorder featuring inflammation. A joint is an area of the body where two bones meet. Arthritis literally means inflammation of one or more joints. Arthritis is frequently accompanied by joint pain. Arthritis is classified as one of the rheumatic diseases. These are conditions that are different individual illnesses, with differing features, treatments, complications, and prognosis. They are similar in that they have a tendency to affect the joints, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons, and many have the potential to affect internal body areas as well.
What is CHF?
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body. Heart failure is a chronic, long-term condition, although it can sometimes develop suddenly. The condition may affect only the right side or only the left side of the heart. These are called right-sided heart failure or left-sided heart failure.
What is CKD?
Chronic kidney disease occurs when one suffers from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. This happens gradually, usually months to years. Chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages of increasing severity. The term “renal” refers to the kidney, so another name for kidney failure is “renal failure.” Mild kidney disease is often called renal insufficiency.
What is COPD?
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a lung disease that leads to shortness of breath. It is caused by damage to the lungs over many years, usually from smoking. COPD is a mixture of two diseases:
What is ESRD?
ESRD is when the kidneys stop working well enough for you to live without dialysis or a transplant. This kind of kidney failure is permanent. It cannot be fixed. Most cases of ESRD are caused by diabetes or high blood pressure. Some problems you are born with, some reactions to medicines, and some injuries can also cause ESRD. If you have ESRD, you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant to live.
What is Hyperlipidemia?
Hyperlipidemia is an elevation of lipids (fats) in the bloodstream. These lipids include cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phospholipids and triglycerides. They’re transported in the blood as part of large molecules called lipoproteins.
What is Hypertension?
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is chronically elevated. If the pressure is too high, the heart has to work harder to pump, and this could lead to organ damage and several illnesses such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, aneurysm, or renal failure
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. When our food is digested the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream.
