An increase in the concentration of protein-protein compounds in erythrocytes often causes disturbances in the functioning of the nervous and digestive system, deterioration of sleep and appetite. There are several ways to reduce hemoglobin in the blood, but the treatment method is chosen in accordance with the causes of the pathology.
Why is hemoglobin raised in the blood?
With the food in the body receive various nutritional components. Vitamin B12, as well as folic acid, maintain a normal level of hemoglobin, their deficiency often becomes a factor provoking an increase in this component.
In addition, hemoglobin can be elevated in the blood test for the following reasons:
- intestinal obstruction ;
- diabetes mellitus or excess glucose;
- erythrocytosis;
- oncological diseases;
- insufficiency of the broncho-pulmonary system;
- hemoglobinemia;
- unfavorable environment;
- increased blood viscosity;
- heart failure;
- true polycythemia;
- pulmonary heart;
- excess erythropoietin;
- pulmonary fibrosis;
- reduction of the volume of blood plasma;
- dehydration;
- taking anabolic and steroid drugs;
- smoking;
- increased production of red blood cells.
It is worth noting that an elevated hemoglobin content in the blood can be considered the norm in case you live in the highlands. The lack of oxygen in the air in this area provokes the body to compensate for its deficiency, which requires the production of more red blood cells.
Reducing hemoglobin in the blood products
To normalize the protein-protein values in a biological fluid, it is recommended, first of all, to increase the amount of liquid consumed. Also it is necessary to give preference to such products:
- soups;
- vegetables, fruits and berries (boiled, steamed, steamed, baked). Especially apricots, grapes, beans and spinach;
- milk dishes, cottage cheese;
- herbal teas, infusions;
- fresh juices;
- whole-grain baking;
- rice and buckwheat porridge;
- soybean;
- leguminous crops;
- soft tofu;
- different nuts.
Once in 7-8 days you need to do unloading the digestive system (drink during the day only water, non-acidic juices, tea).
In this case, it is desirable to limit the consumption of dishes with a high content of animal protein, for example, pork, beef meat, and also to exclude from the diet vitamin complexes, biologically active additives. In addition, experts advise for a short time to completely abandon sea fish and seafood, algae. In these products, a very high content of not only proteins but also of iron, which is involved in the production of hemoglobin.
It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol at the considered problem, since the elements after the breakdown of ethyl alcohol in the body provoke the stimulation of the formation of red blood cells.
In rare cases, doctors suggest switching to a veggie diet. It is not necessary to adhere to it all life, it is enough to observe such a diet until the value of red blood cell concentration becomes acceptable.
Reducing hemoglobin in blood medicine
Improve coagulability, consistency, reduce the viscosity of the biological fluid and normalize the increased level of hemoglobin in the blood can be through such medicines:
- Cardiomagnet;
- Trental;
- Aspirin;
- Currantil.
It is important to remember that taking these drugs can adversely affect the work of other body systems, so it is desirable to combine traditional treatment with folk methods. Among them, effective are:
- bloodletting with medical leeches;
- mummy .
