Symptoms of Immune-mediated Thrombocytopenia Most of the clinical signs of IMT are bleeding-related. Common symptoms include lethargy, weakness, increased respiratory rate, bruising, bleeding from the mouth or nose, pale gums, and dark, tarry stools that indicate the presence of blood in the GI tract.
The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.
The minimum amount of energy your body requires to carry out these chemical processes is called the basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your BMR accounts for anything between 40% and 70% of your bodyâs daily energy requirements depending on your age and lifestyle. A âslow metabolismâ is more accurately described as a low BMR.
