My MCV has actually dropped from 91.1 in XXXXXXX to 83.7 at present, so megaloblastic anemia seems rather unlikely to me. [healthmagic.gq]

Clinical Features The clinical presentation of anemia is widely variable. In some cases, it may present with non-specific signs and symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, pallor, and tachycardia. [ahcmedia.com]

MICROCYTIC ANEMIA Presented by- Dr. Monika Nema Dr. [slideshare.net]

• Headache

  Patients with Hypochromic Anemia may have a distinct green skin tinge, and other symptoms include lack of energy, shortness of breath, dyspepsia, headaches, and amenorrhea. [novusbio.com]

  Contra-indications for erythropoetin treatment include uncontrolled hypertension. [ 7 ] Potential side-effects of erythropoetin include increase in blood pressure or aggravation of hypertension, headache, increase in platelet count, influenza-like symptoms [patient.info]

  Common symptoms of anaemia regardless of the cause include: fatigue lethargy shortness of breath on exercise palpitations sore tongue recurrent mouth ulceration headache loss or change in appetite Common outward signs of anaemia include: pale appearance [stewartnutrition.co.uk]

  Clinical Picture Symptoms: general symptoms of anaemia as; easy fatigability, headache, dyspnoea, palpitation. Signs: Pallor which can be detected in the face, palm of the hand, nail bed and mucus membranes of the mouth and conjunctiva. [gfmer.ch]

  I neglected to mention in March my folate and B12 were both in the top 2/3 range. All of my nutritional values have been normal, except a decrease in HDL from 41 to 30. [healthmagic.gq]

An initial anemia workup includes CBC, iron, and ferritin testing to determine the underlying cause of the disease. [arupconsult.com]

The doctor may also decide to take some other screening blood tests that might identify the cause of fatigue; glucose levels, ESR, ferritin, renal function tests and electrolytes may be part of such a workup. [copacabanarunners.net]

A bowel workup may be required if the patient has iron deficiency. I get more likely to investigate if the anemia is under 9-10 g/dl, but will investigate earlier if there has been a change compared to a previously known baseline level. [arthritis.co.za]

Routine workup of the patient with anemia, advise: Hemoglobin and hematocrit. Red blood cell count. Blood indices. peripheral blood smear. Reticulocyte count. White blood cells count and platelets count. [labpedia.net]

• Cabot Rings

  Target cells and cabot rings B. Toxic granulation and Dohle bodies C. Pappenheimer bodies and basophilic stippling D. Schistocytes and nucleated RBCs 24. Which antibiotics are most often implicated in the development of aplastic anemia? A. [proprofs.com]

  If anemia is present, the appearance of the peripheral smear is usually diagnostic, demonstrating several hyper-segmented granulocytes as well as RBC inclusions (i.e., stippling, Howell–Jolly bodies, Cabot's rings, and non-hemoglobin iron). [glowm.com]

Treatment of aplastic anemia is a twofold process. [britannica.com]

Treatment with recombinant erythropoietin increased their hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. These common points have a possibility to be brought about by tubulointerstitial damage and microangiopathy may be involved in it. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of the anemia consists merely of antirheumatic treatment. Iron administration is counterproductive since iron chelators or exogenous erythropoietin administration might increase erythropoiesis. [arthritis.co.za]

The prognosis of these patients is excellent. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Effect on pregnancy: ß-Thalassaemia major is rarely encountered in pregnant women, but if this happened the prognosis is poor. Anaemia becomes severe in mid-pregnancy and may result in heart failure. [gfmer.ch]

Etiology TABLE 2: ETIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF ANAEMIA Blood loss: Acute Chronic Decreased iron assimilation: Nutritional deficiency Hypoplastic or aplastic anemia Bone marrow infiltration like leukemia & other malignancies, myelodysplastic syndrome [pediatriconcall.com]

Showing a similar RBC abnormality (eg, spherocytes, abnormal Hb, G-6-PD deficiency) among family members establishes the basic etiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In rare instances it is the result of abnormal hormonal stimulation of stem cell proliferation or the result of a defective bone marrow microenvironment or from cellular or humoral immunosuppression of hematopoiesis. 5 Aplastic anemia Etiology Acquired [slideplayer.com]

Abnormalities of Fe mobilization from marrow stores are also recognized which may prevent reutilization of Fe salvaged from dead RBCs. [med-ed.virginia.edu]

The best way to prevent microcytic anemia is to get enough iron in your diet. Increasing your vitamin C intake can also help your body absorb more iron. You can also consider taking a daily iron supplement. [healthline.com]
