Autonomic dysfunction and anemia in neurologic disorders

Abstract

The effect of autonomic dysfunctions on anemia in various neurological disorders, such as familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) Type I, pandysautonomia, and Shy-Drager syndrome was examined. As a control, hemograms of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is known to be free from autonomic dysfunction, was compared with patients with the above neurological disorders. FAP and pandysautonomia patients showed significant anemia comparable with the severity of the autonomic dysfunctions. Shy-Drager patients exhibited mild anemia. However, in ALS patients, no such anemia was recognized at all even in the end stage of this disease. In pandysautonomia patients, hypoplastic bone marrow was recognized, which was quite consistent with the data previously reported in FAP patients. Human recombinant erythropoietin improved orthostatic hypotension as well as anemia in 4 FAP patients. These results suggest that autonomic dysfunction may be deeply connected with erythropoiesis.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Amyloid Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive nervous system disease associated with the death of neurons that control voluntary muscles. Discover the latest research on ALS here.
