What is anaemia
Decrease in number of red blood cells as measured by the red blood cell count, hematocrit value and red cell hemoglobin
In men
Hemoglobin - <14g/DL……… 12d/l
Hematocrit - 42% ……. 37%
RBC
4.5mil\mcl ….. 4mil /mcl

3 things that cause anaemia
Excessive hemolysis
Deficient erythropoiesis
Blood loss
3 ways to classify anaemia
Pathogenesis
Red cell morphology
Clinical presentation
Based on pathogenic 2
- Hypo regenerative : decreased bone marrow product BCS of
Impaired funct
Bone marrow infiltration
Lack of nutrients
Regenerative Responds appropriately to a low erythrocyte mass and increase production
Morphology?
Mean corpuscular volume
Microcytic smaller plenty
Normocytic normal fewer
Macrocytic bigger fewer
Clinical presentation
Acute or chronic
What is used to Pathogenic classify
Reticulocyte count
