pathophysiology
anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in oxygen carrying capacity of the blood due to a decrease in hemoglobin level.this further leads to decrease oxygen supply to major organs and decrease in metabolism.
symptoms of Anemia
the symptoms of anemia depends on the hemoglobin level.
- Men - 13.75g/dl-17.5g/dl
- Women- 12.0-15.5g/dl
hemoglobin level greater than 10g/dl is usually asymptomatic
- hemogobin 8g/dl- 9g/dl- malaise , fatigue , headache
- hemoglobin 6g/dl-7g/dl-dyspnea on exertion , presyncope
- hemoglobin 4g/dl-5g/dl- myocardial infarction , stroke, high output cardiac failure.
types of Anemia
anemia can be classified in different ways , but the best and easiest way to classify anemia is by using the mean corpuscular volume(MCV).normal MCV is 80%- 100%,
- MCV < 80%- Microcytic anemia
- MCV- 80%-100%- normocytic anemia
- MCV> 100%- Macrocytic anemia.
