    Anemia

    Uploaded by

    This document summarizes different types of anemia. It describes anemia as a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, which can be caused by a reduction in red blood cell count or hemoglobin concentration. The normal ranges of red blood cell count and hemoglobin are provided for males and females. Causes of reduced red blood cell count include deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, or folic acid, as well as bone marrow depression or excessive blood loss. Low hemoglobin can also result from deficiencies in iron or protein. The document notes that anemia can occasionally occur despite normal red blood cell and hemoglobin levels, such as in carbon monoxide poisoning. Finally, different morphological classifications of anemia are outlined

    Decrease in oxygen carrying
    capacity of called is called anaemia
    • Decrease in rbc count
    • normal range :
    • In male : 5 - 6 millions/cmm of blood
    • In female :4 – 5 millions/cmm of blood
    • Decrease in Hemoglobin concentration
    • Normal range :
    • In male : 15 -18 gm/100ml of blood
    • In female : 12 – 15 gm/100ml of blood
    Decrease in RBC count can be due
    to
    • Either the maufecturing material is inadequate ie
    deficiency of iron,vitamine B12,folic acid
    • Factory is defective eg.bone marrow depression due to
    radiation,drugs,leukemic or cancer deposits
    • Material is adequate,factory is alright then there is
    adequate production but there is defective transportation
    eg.pilfirage ie blood loss which can be:
    • Acute due to accident,post operative,sepicemia bleeding
    peptic ulcer etc.
    • Chronic like bleeding gums,bleeding piles ,loss in
    mensturation in females
    Low hemoglobin Count can be due
    to
    • Iron deficiency in diet or due to chronic
    blood loss
    • Protein deficiency
    • Defective hemoglobin
    Can there be anaemia inspite of
    normal rbc & hemoglobin count?
    • It is possible to decrease oxygen carrying
    capacity of blood temporarily inspite of normal
    RBC count and normal HEMOGLOBIN. eg.is
    carbon mono-oxide poisoning
    • (You must have read in news paper a person
    falling in gutter after he became unconscious
    while cleaning main hole on street)
    • Carbon mono-oxide has greater affinity for
    hemoglobin as compared to oxygen. So less
    hemoglobin is avialable for carriage of oxygen
    Morphological classification of
    anaemia
    • Normochromic normocytic when there is decrease in RBC count
    due to sudden loss of blood as thre is hemodilution
    • Megaloblatic macrocytic can be in
    • a)B12 deficiency which is associated with
    • Neurological features like tingling & numness
    • i)Either nutritional deficiency of B12(needs oral treatment)ii)due
    deciciency of Intrinsic factor (Hematinic Principle of Castle which
    has associated achlorhydia due to atrophy of gastric mucosa),here
    injectable B12 is given
    • B) folic acid deficiency where there is no associated neurological
    complaints
    • Normocytic hypochromic due to decrease in hemoglobin count
