� Definition of anemia � Classification and causes � Important points in history and physical
examination � Investigations.

� Definition of anemia - decrease in number of red blood cells
(RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood
- Greek word, meaning lack of blood

� Classification based on either etiologic mechanism to - hemorrhage - hemolysis - deficient red blood cell production

or morphology to - macrocytic - normocytic - microcytic � MCV is age-dependent. In young children,
low-normal is approximately 70 fl plus the age in years , up to 98 fl

� Anemia can be acute or chronic � Clues to acute anemia (emergency)
- History of blood loos ( injury , bleeding disorder , massive upper or lower gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage)

� Anemia is not a diagnosis; it is a manifestation of an underlying disorder
� So even mild, asymptomatic anemia
should be investigated to detect the primary problem

� Investigations :- 1 - CBC measures Hb, RBC count, and MCV (a
measure of RBC size). Hct (a measure of the percentage of blood made up of RBCs), MCH (a measure of the Hb content in individual RBCs), and MCHC (a measure of the Hb level in individual RBCs) are calculated values, WBC & platlets
