Anemia Part 1 Flashcards
is a condition in which number
of RBC or Hgb concentration is lower than the normal.
Anemia
Anemia is a condition in which number
of RBC or Hgb concentration is _______ (lower or higher) than the normal.
Lower
Etiology of anemia:
Thalassemia major
Iron deficiency anemia
Megaloblastic anemia
Leukemia
is a manifestation of a certain disease associated with a decrease in the red blood cell, decrease in hematocrit and a decrease in hemoglobin.
Anemia
Anemia is a manifestation of a certain disease associated with a decrease in the __________, decrease in __________ and
a decrease in ___________.
red blood cell, hematocrit and hemoglobin
There is a different definition for Anemia we have
Funtional
Operational
Conventional
Anaimia is a greek word of
Lack of blood
An means
Lack
Haima means
Blood
Functional of anemia:
Decrease oxygen carrying in blood
Operational anemia:
Reduction of total number of red blood cell
Conventional of anemia
Decrease in red blood cell, hematocrit and hemoglobin below normal
Clinical Findings of Anemia:
History
Physical examination
Signs and symptoms
Laboratory procedures
Sign and symptoms of anemia most common:
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Weakness
History of Patient:
Diet
Bleeding history
Drug ingestion
Travel
Previous drugs
Physical examination
Skin: pallor
Eyes: hemorrhage
Mouth: mucosal bleeding
Cardiac murmurs
Vital signs: temp, blood pressure and heart rate
General causes of Anemia
Decreased of red blood cells
Increased red blood cell reduction
Blood loss
Anemia due to decreased production of RBC:
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Megaloblastic anemia
Thalassemia anemia
Sideroblastoc anemia
Aplastic anemia
Anemia due to increased destruction of RBC
Intracorpuscular abnormalities
Extracorpuscular abnormalities
Intracorpuscular abnormalities:
Enzyme deficiency
Membrane defect
Globin abnormality
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
Extracorpuscular abnormalities:
Mechanical
Infection
Chemical and physical agent
Antibody mediated anemia
Anemia due to blood loss:
Acute post hemorrhagic anemia
Chronic post hemorrhagic anemia
Laboratory test for Anemia assessment
Complete blood count
Reticulocyte count
Iron studies
Urinalysis
Fecalysis
Morphological Classification of Anemia:
Microcytic normochromic anemia ( decrease rbc)
Macrocytic normochromic anemia
Normocytic normochromic anemia (aplastic anemia)
Morphological under SIGA
Microcytic
Morphological under MNM
Macrocytic
3 stages of Iron Deficiency:
Stage 1: iron depletion
Stage 2: exhaustion of storage pool of iron
Stage 3: frank anemia
Stage 1: iron depletion result
Normal: Hb, serum iron, total iron binding capacity
Low: ferritin
Stage 2: exhaustion of storage pool of iron result
Normal: hb and rbc dev
Decrease: serum iron & ferritin
Increase: tibc
Stage 3: frank anemia result
Decrease: hb, serum iron, ferritin
Increase: tibc
will measure the
circulating iron that is bound to
transferring
Serum iron
measure the capacity of
iron to bind transferrin
Total iron binding capacity
protein that are used for
storge of iron
Ferritin
