Overview
Majority of patients with anemia of Prematurity are either asymptomatic or develop vague and non-specific symptoms. They usually present with pallor and lethargy. Decreased activity, breathing difficulties, feeding difficulties, and difficulty in gaining weight are common symptoms. Less common symptoms are tachycardia, heart murmurs, and metabolic acidosis.
History
History of patients with anemia of prematurity includes blood loss due to phlebotomy for laboratory tests.
Symptoms
Common symptoms of anemia of prematurity include
- Pallor
- Lethargy
- Decreased activity
- Tachypnea and difficulty in breathing
- Feeding difficulties
- Poor weight gain
Less common symptoms of anemia of prematurity include
- Tachycardia
- Heart murmurs
- Apnea or periodic cessation of breathing
- Metabolic acidosis due to increased lactic acid accumulation from anaerobic cellular metabolism
