==Classification==
The following is the classification of [[anemia]] by red blood cell size with [[Mean corpuscular volume|mean corpuscular volume (MCV)]]:


* [[Macrocytic anemia]] (MCV>100)
* Anemia is defined as a hemoglobin level of less than 13 g/dL in men and less than 12 g/dL in women by the World Health Organization (WHO).
* [[Normocytic anemia]] (80<MCV<100)
** High [[reticulocyte]] count
** Low [[reticulocyte]] count


* [[Microcytic anemia]] (MCV<80)
* The following is the classification of [[anemia]] by red blood cell size with [[Mean corpuscular volume|mean corpuscular volume (MCV)]]:

Overview

Although anemia is not a common finding in patients with COVID-19 infection, decrease in hemoglobin in patients with severe COVID-19 infection has been reported.

Historical Perspective

Classification

  • Anemia is defined as a hemoglobin level of less than 13 g/dL in men and less than 12 g/dL in women by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Pathophysiology

The pathophysiology of decrease in hemoglobin and rarity of anemia in patients with COVID-19 infection are as the followings:[3]

Causes

Inflammation caused by COVID-19 infection affects erythropoiesis and decreases hemoglobin.[3]

Differentiating COVID-19-associated Anemia from other Diseases

Epidemiology and Demographics

Although anemia is not a common finding in patients with COVID-19 infection, decrease in hemoglobin in patients with severe COVID-19 infection has been reported.[3][6]

Risk Factors

Although anemia is not a common finding in patients with COVID-19 infection, but decrease in hemoglobin in patients with severe COVID-19 infection has been reported.[3][6]

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for [disease/malignancy].

OR

According to the [guideline name], screening for [disease name] is not recommended.

OR

According to the [guideline name], screening for [disease name] by [test 1] is recommended every [duration] among patients with [condition 1], [condition 2], and [condition 3].

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

  • Although anemia is not a common finding in patients with COVID-19 infection, but decrease in hemoglobin in patients with severe COVID-19 infection has been reported.[3][6]
  • The median hemoglobin is lower in patients with severe COVID-19 (12.8 g/dL) compared to patients with non-severe infection (13.5 g/dL).[6]
  • Decrease in hemoglobin is seen more in critically ill patients with severe COVID-19 infection.[6]

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Study of Choice

  • The diagnostic study of choice for anemia is compelete blood count (CBC).
  • Anemia is defined by
  • The median hemoglobin is lower in patients with severe COVID-19 (12.8 g/dL) compared to patients with non-severe infection (13.5 g/dL).[6]

History and Symptoms

  • The median hemoglobin is lower in patients with severe COVID-19 (12.8 g/dL) compared to patients with non-severe infection (13.5 g/dL).[6]
  • Anemia is defined as a hemoglobin level of less than 13 g/dL in men and less than 12 g/dL in women by the World Health Organization (WHO).
  • Patients with anemia should be asked about:[7]

Laboratory Findings[5]

  • Compelete blood count (CBC):
    • The median hemoglobin is lower in patients with severe COVID-19 (12.8 g/dL) compared to patients with non-severe infection (13.5 g/dL).[6]

Electrocardiogram

There are no ECG findings associated with [disease name].

OR

An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an ECG suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

X-ray

There are no x-ray findings associated with anemia in COVID-19 infection.

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with anemia in COVID-19 infection.

CT scan

There are no CT scan findings associated with anemia in COVID-19 infection.

MRI

There are no MRI findings associated with anemia in COVID-19 infection.

Other Imaging Findings

There are no other imaging findings associated with anemia in COVID-19 infection.

Other Diagnostic Studies[5]

Treatment

Medical Therapy

There is no treatment for [disease name]; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care.

OR

Supportive therapy for [disease name] includes [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and [therapy 3].

OR

The majority of cases of [disease name] are self-limited and require only supportive care.

OR

[Disease name] is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is [therapy].

OR   The optimal therapy for [malignancy name] depends on the stage at diagnosis.

OR

[Therapy] is recommended among all patients who develop [disease name].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].

OR

Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].

OR

Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].

Surgery

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of [disease name].

OR

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and/or [indication 3].

OR

The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.

OR

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].

Primary Prevention

There are no established measures for the primary prevention of anemia in COVID-19 infection.

Secondary Prevention

Minimal amount of blood blood should be drawn for blood tests and only clinically necessary tests should be ordered in order to prevent aggregation of anemia in COVID-19 infection..
