Question 1

why does malaria cause hemoglobinuria?

Accepted Answer

Hemoglobinuria: "Haemoglobinuria is one of the manifestations of severe malaria and results from severe intravascular haemolysis. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has been implicated in its aetiology. Haemoglobinuria may be associated with severe anaemia and, less frequently, acute renal failure."

Question 2

difference of myoglobinuria from hemoglobinuria?

Accepted Answer

Differences: Myoglobinuira (m) is the result of the muscle break down, due to trauma, where myglobin in the muscle is found in the urine.  Hemoglobinuria is a condition in which hemoglobin is found in abnormally high concentrations in the urine. The condition is often associated with hemolytic anemia. Excess hemoglobin is filtered by the kidneys, which excrete it into the urine.

Question 3

paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: are there many symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Not always: You may not even have abnormally-colored urine in the mornings. Or you may develop anemia or have deep vein thrombi and their complications. If you have pnh, this is a management problem for you with your hematologist, and you'll do best to learn as much as you can about it.

Question 4

i was just wondering why does malaria cause haemoglobinuria?

Accepted Answer

Malaria: The malaria parasite infects red blood cells (rbc&#x27;s) where it goes through several multiplication stages.  The rbc eventually ruptures, releasing the parasites and haemoglobin.  The haemoglobin is filtered by the kidney and is excreted into the urine.  Each new parasite then goes on to infect another rbc and the cycle is repeated.

Question 6

am i dying?

Accepted Answer

We all are: A 3-word question with no details... well, life is short on Earth, regardless of whether a person lives 3 days, 3000 days, or 30,000 days. It is not length of one's life that matters, but the quality of the life lived. The goal is not to live a long life, but to live a good life.

Question 9

am i dying ?

Accepted Answer

I don't know: I don't know, john.  Technically, every person who is alive will die someday, yes.  But unless you have been diagnosed with some untreatable illness, then no, you are not actively dying.
If this is something you worry about a lot, mention it to one of your parents, a close adult friend, or a school counselor.  A lot of people have these kinds of worries and you can get help to not worry so much.

Question 10

Better to avoid such otc products since not certain what they contain & haven't been tested for safety. If having problems of erectile dysfunction, discuss with pcp/urologist. Don't smoke; limit alcohol use; perhaps correcting anemia will help. Doc can offer other options.
