Body Talk 4/9/13

My guest on the show this week was Dr Parag Jasani, consultant haematologist at Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood. Dr Jasani qualified in 2001 and offers his services within the NHS and private sector, treating all sorts of blood disorders.

Haematology deals with many aspects of diseases  which affect the blood such as anaemia, leukaemia, lymphoma and clotting or bleeding disorders.

The body has red and white blood cells. The white cells are part of the immune system and help to fight disease.  Anaemia occurs when you have less red cells than normal, or less haemoglobin. Either way it means there’s not enough oxygen in the bloodstream.

It can make you feel tired, lethargic, feel faint or breathless. The most common cause is lack of iron possibly due to pregnancy, childhood growth spurts, heavy periods, poor absorption or bleeding in the gut. . A normal balanced diet  should contain enough iron.  It is more common in women than men. The treatment is fairly asy through a change of diet or iron tablets.

If the white cells are low that can be caused by infection, hyperthyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis or more serious conditions such as leukaemia or AIDS.

Dr Jasani deals with a wide range of illnesses on a daily basis. If any listeners have any concerns about any of the things we discussed  He can be contacted at Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood.
