| 영문 | anemia | 한글 | 빈혈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈액이 순환하는 목적 중에서 가장 중요한 것은 여러 가지 영양소를 말초의 장기로 보급하고 말초의 장기에서 나오는 여러 노폐물을 콩팥이나 폐로 보내 배설물을 처리하는 데 있다. 그 중에서 산소의 운반은 가장 중요한데 바로 이 산소의 운반을 담당하는 것이 적혈구이다. 적혈구에는 혈색소라는 물질이 있어 이것이 산소와 결합하여 산소를 말초의 장기로 운반할 수가 있다. 빈혈이란 단위부피의 혈액속에 적혈구의 양이 적은 경우를 말한다. 적혈구의 양을 나타내는 것으로는 3가지 방법이 있다. 적혈구의 숫자를 직접 표현하는 방법과, 혈색소의 양을 정량하여 그 양을 표시하는 방법과, 혈액속에서 적혈구가 차지하는 양(적혈구등적율)을 나타내는 방법이 그것이다. 대개 빈혈이라 함은 남성에서 혈색소 < 14g/dl, 혈색소 < 42%, 적혈구의 수 < 4,000,000/mm3일 경우이고, 여성에선 혈색소 < 12g/dl, 혈색소 < 36%, 적혈구의 수 < 3,300,000/mm3일 경우를 지칭한다. |

| 영문 | pernicious anemia | 한글 | 악성빈혈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 악성(생명을 위협하며, 치료에 저항하는 경우에 대개 악성이라 부름. 예를 들어 진행된 암의 경우)이라 이름붙어 있지만, 실제적으로는 악성이 아니다. 빈혈의 일종이다. 정상적으로 적혈구는 발달과 성숙과정에서 비타민 B12가 필수적이다. 이 비타민 B12의 혈중농도감소에 의해 적혈구생성에 지장을 가져오게 되고, 혈액내에 특징적인 거대적모구(megaloblast)의 형성이 나타나는 질병을 말한다. |

| 영문 | aplastic anemia | 한글 | 재생불량빈혈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 재생불량성 빈혈이란 골수의 이상으로 생기는 빈혈이다. 골수란 뼈속에 존재하는 것으로 혈구를 생성하는 세포들과 미성숙한 혈구들로 이루어져 있다. 이것들이 여러 가지 원인에 의해서 파괴되었을 때 생기는 빈혈을 재생불량빈혈이라고 한다. 그러므로 적혈구만의 감소가 아니라 모든 혈구 세포의 감소를 볼 수 있다. 치료로는 혈구 생성을 자극하는 호르몬을 투여하는 것이 있지만 이것으로는 파괴된 혈구를 생성하는 세포의 재생이 일어나지 못하므로 완전한 치료라고는 볼 수가 없다. 완전한 치료로는 남의 골수를 채취해서 이것에서부터 혈구를 생성하는 세포를 분리, 환자에게 이식하는 골수이식이 있다. |

| 영문 | iron deficiency anemia | 한글 | 철결핍빈혈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 적혈구의 기능은 산소를 운반하는데 있다. 적혈구 속에 산소와 결합을 하여 산소를 운반하는 혈색소라는 물질이 있다. 철은 이 혈색소의 중요한 부분을 이루는 것으로 철이 없으면 혈색소가 만들어질 수가 없다. 혈색소가 없으면 역시 적혈구도 만들어지지 않으므로 체내에 철이 부족하면 빈혈이 생긴다. 이 철결핍성 빈혈은 빈혈의 원인 중에서 가장 흔한 것이다(약 25%를 차지한다). 철저장량의 저하-결핍, 혈청철농도의 저하, 트란스페린량 상승, 트란스페린포화도의 저하, 혈색소농도 또는 헤마토크리트의 저하, 저색소성대적혈구를 특징으로 하는 빈혈로서, 생체 내에서 철이 장기에 걸쳐 결핍되며 그 때문에 혈색소 생산 감소에 의해 일어난다. 창자에서의 철흡수량 부족, 철의 수요 증대(유아기, 사춘기, 임신), 철소실과잉(출혈)에 의해 일어나며, 특히 사춘기에서 폐경기까지의 여성에게 많다. 증상으로서는 얼굴창백, 피로감, 피부창백, 손톱 변화(스푼 모양) 등을 나타낸다. 구강 영역에서는 혀의 접촉통, 발적, 건조감, 삼킴곤란을 수반하면 플러머-빈슨(Plummer-Vinson)증후군이라고 한다. 혈액 소견은 혈청철은 저하하며, 철결합능력의 상승, 저색소성 작은적혈구성을 나타낸다. |
