Oligemia

Oligemia is a condition in which the volume of blood in the body is significantly reduced. This can be caused by various reasons such as blood loss, dehydration, insufficient water intake and other factors.

With oligemia, the level of hemoglobin in the blood decreases, which leads to a decrease in the amount of oxygen that can be used by the body's tissues. This can cause various symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea and others.

To treat oligemia, it is necessary to identify the cause of its occurrence and take measures to eliminate it. In some cases, blood transfusions or other treatments may be required.

It is important to remember that oligemia can be life-threatening, so if you experience symptoms of this condition, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Oligemia (from Latin oligo - little and Greek -hemia; synonym: hypovolemic state, hypochromemia) is a state of lack of blood volume in the circulatory system. Oligemia is also called a hypovolemic state.

Oligemia is observed in some diseases of the cardiovascular system (arterial hypertension, myocarditis, heart defects), and the cause is blood deficiency due to a violation of its blood supply. It is also possible to develop oligomy against the background of circulatory failure, which leads to a reduction in blood volume. Symptoms of oligeremia may include pale skin, decreased blood pressure, increased fatigue, weakness, drowsiness and apathy.

In medicine, the term “oligomy” also refers to other situations associated with a decrease in the content of most elements in the blood, or a decrease in hemoglobin to critical values. Oligemic conditions are often accompanied by serious diseases - for example, chronic anemia. In this case, there is a decrease in the volume of red blood cells, leukocytes, platelets, immunoglobulins and protein fractions, the low content of which leads to the development of collapse, severe weakness, pain discomfort, dizziness, and even shock. In combination with other syndromes for diagnosing hypovolemic conditions, the most informative are the determination of the number of red blood cells (tetraerythrocyte test - TETRA), the level of erythropoietin (ineffective test), hemoglobin (Bobb test) and hematomas
