Nutritional Deficiencies and Neutropenia – The Dietary Connection
Advertisements

Certain nutritional deficiencies, like vitamin B12 or folate, can lead to neutropenia. These nutrients are vital for cell production, including neutrophils.

Symptoms may include general weakness and frequent infections. Blood tests can reveal deficiencies. Addressing dietary habits is an integral part of the diagnostic process.

Treatment involves supplementing the deficient nutrients. Dietary changes can also help. In severe cases, intravenous supplementation might be necessary.

A balanced diet plays a preventive role. Regular check-ups can help identify deficiencies early. Awareness of nutrition’s impact on immune health is key. (6)
