Symptoms Of Gaucher Disease

Anemia

Cells affected by Gaucher disease are present in the bone marrow in many cases. The disease reduces the number of circulating red blood cells. When the anemic blood is processed through the affected spleen, it destroys many of the remaining cells. Anemia is the condition that results from low red blood cells. Those cells carry oxygen to every part of the body, from brain to limbs to organs. In addition to Gaucher disease, the patient might have deficiencies in iron or vitamin B12. This is one of the more complicated symptoms of Gaucher disease. It requires close monitoring by a Gaucher disease specialist. Addressing the condition can make a significant difference in the quality of life for the patient.
