Definition
Anemia is defined as a decrease in oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood . It is measured in unit volume concentrations of hemoglobin(Hb), red blood cell volume(MCV), red blood cell number(RBC count).
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
- Aplastic crisis
- Sickle cell crisis
- Severe Hemorrhage
Most Common Causes
Inadequate production
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Thalassemia
- Megaloblastic anemia (Vit B12, Folate)
- Hypothyroid
- Chronic renal disease
- Bone marrow suppression
- Pregnancy
Hemolysis
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Hemoglobinopathies
- RBC membrane defect
- Splenic sequestration
- Sickle cell anemia
Management
Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the approach to [[disease name]].
