ATTENTION: I made a mistake in the video. I said that Intrinsic Factor is made in the small intestine. However, it's actually released by the parietal cells in the stomach. Thanks to @white-collar clasher for pointing that out.
MY BROTHER PASS AWAY IN JANUARY 2023 DUE TO ANEMIA/ DESTRUCTION OF RED BLOOD CELLS. Your explanations has given me much more information on this situation.Thank you....I SUSCRIBED
So glad I came across your channel. My doctor just confirmed that my red blood cells are bigger than normal. He gave a vague explanation of possible lack of B12 and Folic. Took more tests that we will get back next week. Thank you for your informative video🇿🇦
🥳🥳🥳Excited to see you rebooting in this way Leslie - your Number One Caribbean Nurse fan. 🥳🥳🥳 Content is engaging, coherent, and has stick-to-the brainess'👌🏾👌🏾💪🏾👊🏾
Great video and very informative! Explained very lucidly :) subscribed immediately! Also had a question: Do you have any plans on continuing the pathology series as I came across the pathology playlist and saw it contained only 2 vids from 10 years ago?
Hi Craig, thanks for subscribing. I'm pretty sure I'll get into more of that at some point. And a lot of that will probably come through even in some of the other content as well. As of right now, we plan the videos about a month out. So I can't say for sure when I'll get to that specific series.
My rbc is below normal, 3.82. I don’t bleed a lot. My iron and b12 is normal. My mct and mht usually is just a bit high. But my doctor doesn’t seem concerned about it.
Hi, I have a question. I have declining rbc and hemoglobin and high (68) iron saturation and iron. I have no nutrient deficiencies. I have an appt with a hematologist in a few weeks, but any idea what could be causing this? I’m an endurance athlete.

I was diagnosed with non diet related anemia BUT according to my cbc, I have too many red bloods cells that are considered very large. But my doctor just tells me to not focus too much on it.
Sir i had a question...i thought intrinsic factors are released by parietal cells of gastric glands of stomach but you told here that its secreted from small intestine? Pls clarify this one 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mary, Glad you found it informative. However, I don't give any kind of medical or dietary advice on here. That's something to discuss with either a medical professional or a nutritionist.
Low B12 levels can lead to a type of anemia where red blood cells become larger and inefficient in transporting oxygen. This then puts strain on the heart as it works harder to supply oxygen throughout the body. Also, low B12 can lead to increased homocysteine levels, a risk factor for heart disease. This can lead to artery damage and heart problems. B12 is very important.
I managed to get mine down to 22 before feeling ill, I had to have 5 transfusions, and 2 years on the doctors still have no idea where I am loosing blood from.
Can B-12 show as normal or high on blood tests and still NOT be absorbed? My doctors never answer this! I have larger fewer reds, doc said it was B-12, folic acid deficiency. I have always taken 5,000 B-12 sublinguals and folic acid 2x per week, and B-12 shows as high on my blood test. I'm dizzy, have numbness in legs, feet, hands, hair loss, super fatigued, weak. and GI issues. Typical symptoms for DECADES! Please, can B-12 show as normal on tests, with pernicious anemia or inability to absorb? NO ONE ANSWERS THIS so I don't know if it's safe to get B-12 shots or not. Doctors see levels on blood tests only and dismiss it. Informative video. Thanks!
Deficiency in folate can cause it too. B12 needs folate to be absorbed. Amazon has Folate and b 12 supplements. I’ve been so energy less lm near worthless. My dr told me take it sublingual under the tongue.
Im begging you please help. I have RDW of 20.1 the doctors so its nothing to be concerned about. Can i die of a stroke or heart attack? How can i lower it?

Not sure if you can answer this but I had my blood drawn and it was put in the spinner to extract the plasma. The nurse told me the blood cells were blue and she never seen that before. I can’t find any answers on why this happened. I am anemic and have low vitamin D. I’ve been swimming a lot in my pool that has a ionizer which has small amounts of copper ( I’m thinking this might be the cause because it’s the only thing new). I also have RA. I’m just confused why my blood cells would be blue and how I can fix it
Unfortunately, I'm unable to give any medical advice because I'm not a medical professional. That's something that I would try to figure out with your doctor.
My 1year old boy suffering from anemia.his red cells are destroying within one month. We did bone marrow,thelsemia test but his dr. said all r ok.i don't understand what to do now! why this happening with him!

My RBC count decreased from 4.71 to 3.3 and haemoglobin also drops in 15 days but my diet was not good enough Even I ate only dinner in 5 days of those 15 days, is poor diet is reson of low haemoglobin and RBC,WBC and platelet are normal
I'm so sorry to hear that, Megan. That's always challenging to deal with. Definitely do your research to make sure he's taking the right steps to get the help he needs.

Can you help me to know exact what food I can use to Increase Red Blood Cells
Hi Mary,
Glad you found it informative. However, I don't give any kind of medical or dietary advice on here. That's something to discuss with either a medical professional or a nutritionist.
Can you please tell us why low b12 leads to heart pollution ? And other heart problems.
Low B12 levels can lead to a type of anemia where red blood cells become larger and inefficient in transporting oxygen. This then puts strain on the heart as it works harder to supply oxygen throughout the body. Also, low B12 can lead to increased homocysteine levels, a risk factor for heart disease. This can lead to artery damage and heart problems. B12 is very important.
I managed to get mine down to 22 before feeling ill, I had to have 5 transfusions, and 2 years on the doctors still have no idea where I am loosing blood from.
My dad is currently going through this and I’m so scared for him. Doctors don’t know why either
@@Brandiisbeloved Has he got a rash? I noticed that on my lower legs to, no idea if it's related though.
Can B-12 show as normal or high on blood tests and still NOT be absorbed? My doctors never answer this! I have larger fewer reds, doc said it was B-12, folic acid deficiency. I have always taken 5,000 B-12 sublinguals and folic acid 2x per week, and B-12 shows as high on my blood test.

What is the resource did you use in this video please?

No mention of Sickle Cell Disease..😢

does long distance running (5km jogs 4 days a week ) damage red blood cells?
It shouldn’t. Running generally increases cardiovascular fitness 🫀
nice videos make more and i will keep commenting

Haha. I will definitely keep making more and be looking out for your comments 😃

So I’m always researching…
how is your husband doing now?
because its a lack of iron(red cell attributes) not current tupe of cell..give iron a red cell attribute
Okay ❤
Glad it was helpful.
My white blood cell came back as few and my red bloods came back negative.
same here so how are you feeling now did the red cells come back?
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU TOO, Sophia 😃
Well just told today red blood cells are low I'm nervous
I was told the same thing so how’s everything going on with you now? Are you doing better?
