Acute Fatigue

#fatigue, #chronic fatigue, #acute fatigue, #stress, #sleep, #anemia, #thyroid, #lack of energy, #listlessness, #feeling tired all the time, #anxious feeling in the chest, #restlessness, #worrying for no reason

Fatigue is a state in which the whole body feels weak, or tasks that are usually easy feel exhausting. It is classified as acute if it lasts less than 1 month and chronic if it lasts 3 months or longer. The causes of fatigue are very diverse, so if fatigue lasts 1 to 2 weeks or longer despite enough rest, please consult a medical specialist.

Blood Cancer

#blood cancer, #leukemia, #multiple myeloma, #platelets, #bone marrow, #anemia, #chemotherapy, #hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Blood cancer refers to cancer that arises in the bone marrow, the organ responsible for producing blood cells. The bone marrow makes three types of blood cells: white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. When the bone marrow malfunctions, abnormalities in the number, shape, or function of these cells can cause a variety of symptoms. Frequent nosebleeds or easy bruising can occur, but these symptoms do not necessarily mean a person has blood cancer. If abnormal results appear on a blood test, please consult a hematology-oncology specialist.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

#chronic kidney disease, #chronic renal failure, #kidney, #renal, #proteinuria, #glomerular filtration rate, #diabetic nephropathy, #lack of energy, #listlessness, #persistent tiredness, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which abnormalities in kidney function or structure persist for 3 months or longer. In the early stages there are often no particular symptoms, so the disease may go unnoticed and be discovered only after it has progressed considerably. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, or who have a family history of kidney disease, need regular testing. If a health checkup reveals a kidney abnormality, please consult a medical specialist to confirm it.

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the colon or rectum. It often causes no symptoms in its early stages, which makes regular colonoscopy screening important. A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle habits can help with prevention.

Dizziness

#dizziness, #vertigo, #balance disorder, #cerebral infarction, #orthostatic hypotension, #headache, #splitting headache, #migraine, #pain at the back of the head, #lightheadedness, #spinning sensation, #unsteadiness, #vision going dark, #collapse, #loss of consciousness, #fainting, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body, #anxious feeling, #nervousness, #worrying for no reason

Dizziness is a general term for a feeling that the surroundings are spinning or that it is hard to keep your balance. It may be caused by something simple, such as anemia or an ear problem, but it can also be a sign of a dangerous brain condition. Because the exact cause must be found and treated, please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an examination.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)

#hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, #bone marrow transplant, #autologous transplant, #allogeneic transplant, #graft-versus-host disease, #blood cancer, #leukemia, #lymphoma, #loose stool, #watery diarrhea, #frequent trips to the bathroom

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment that transplants hematopoietic stem cells, the cells that give rise to white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. It was previously known as bone marrow transplantation, but the name changed once it became possible to collect these cells from peripheral blood as well. It is mainly used to treat blood-related malignancies, and both the treatment process and follow-up care afterward are important.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a condition in which hemolytic anemia (anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells), thrombocytopenia (a drop in platelets, the blood components that help stop bleeding), and acute kidney injury (a sudden decline in kidney function) occur together. It is also known as “hamburger disease,” a name that came from cases linked to eating undercooked hamburger patties. It occurs most often in children age 5 and younger. If these symptoms are suspected, please see a medical specialist right away.

Hemorrhoids are swollen vascular tissue inside the anus that may bulge or protrude outside the anus. Most of what is commonly referred to as 'piles' is, in fact, hemorrhoids. If you have symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which a lack of iron in the body leads to a shortage of red blood cells. Common symptoms include pallor, fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath during exercise. It occurs especially frequently in women of childbearing age. If anemia persists for a long time, it can place strain on the heart, so identifying the cause and receiving appropriate treatment is important. If you suspect these symptoms, please consult a hematology-oncology specialist.

Kidney Transplant Process

#kidney transplantation, #kidney transplant, #living-donor kidney transplantation, #deceased-donor kidney transplantation, #immunosuppressants, #rejection, #end-stage kidney failure, #KONOS, #organ transplantation, #double vision, #overlapping images

Kidney transplantation is a surgery that transplants a healthy kidney into the body to replace a kidney that has lost its function. Unlike dialysis, it can restore most of the kidney's various functions (removing waste products, regulating electrolytes, secreting hormones that stimulate blood cell production, and others), which makes it one of the main treatment options for end-stage kidney failure. Whether and how to have a transplant depends on each patient's health condition, so please be sure to decide through consultation with a medical specialist.

Leukemia is a malignant tumor that arises from immature blood cells in the bone marrow. It is classified as acute or chronic, and as myeloid or lymphoid depending on the type of cell involved. Unlike in the past, advances in medicine, including targeted therapy, have expanded the treatment options. Please discuss the diagnosis and treatment plan thoroughly with a hematology-oncology specialist.

Malaria is a parasitic infectious disease caused by the bite of a mosquito carrying the malaria parasite. It causes cold-like symptoms such as fever and chills, and delayed treatment can lead to serious complications. Before traveling to an area where malaria is a risk, please consult a medical specialist.
