List and explain how Haemochromatosis effects our health

Health
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Untreated, hereditary hemochromatosis can lead to a number of complications, especially in your joints and in organs where excess iron tends to be stored — your liver, pancreas and heart. Complications can include:

Liver problems. Cirrhosis — permanent scarring of the liver — is just one of the problems that may occur. Cirrhosis increases your risk of liver cancer and other life-threatening complications.

Pancreas problems. Damage to the pancreas can lead to diabetes.

Heart problems. Excess iron in your heart affects the heart's ability to circulate enough blood for your body's needs. This is called congestive heart failure. Hemochromatosis can also cause abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

Reproductive problems. Excess iron can lead to erectile dysfunction (impotence), and loss of sex drive in men and absence of the menstrual cycle in women.

Skin color changes. Deposits of iron in skin cells can make your skin appear bronze or gray in color.

A multigravida who is 34 weeks gestation wants to know at what level her uterine fundus should be. The best answer is to advise
bixtya [17]

Answer: Her fundal height is 34 centimetres

Explanation:

A multigravada is a woman who has previously had at least two pregnancies. The fundus of the uterus is the top part of the uterus that is across from the cervix (opening of the uterus).

The level of the uterine fundus is referred to as the "fundal height". The fundal height is the distance from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus measured in centimetres. After 20 weeks of pregnancy, the fundal height most times matches the number of weeks one has been pregnant. In this case, since the multigravada is 34 weeks pregnant, her fundal height should be 34 centimetres.

However there are exceptions to this in cases of

▪obesity

▪fibroids

▪multiple births

Slow fetal growth, in balance in the amount of amniotic fluid, or a slightly larger than average baby can cause the fundal height measurement to be smaller or larger than expected.
