Pallid refers to a pale coloration that can be observed in humans and other organisms. It is often associated with illness or distress, and can be a symptom of a variety of medical conditions.

Causes[edit | edit source]

Pallid coloration can be caused by a number of factors, including anemia, hypotension, shock, and certain skin diseases. It can also be a side effect of certain medications.

Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

Diagnosis of the underlying cause of pallid coloration often involves a physical examination and medical history. Blood tests may be used to check for anemia or other conditions. In some cases, imaging tests such as X-rays or MRIs may be used to look for underlying conditions.
