    adults and children of both sexes, although pregnant women and adolescent girls are most
    susceptible and most affected by this disease.

    DEFINITION:

    Anemia (An-without,emia-blood)is a decrease in the RBC count, hemoglobin and/or


    Hematocrit values resulting in a lower ability for the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues.

    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY:

    NORMAL VALUES

    TYPES OF ANEMIA Based on clinical picture- Iron deficiency anemia. Megaloblastic


    anemia. Pernicious anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia. Hemolytic anemia. -Thalassemia
    anemia -Sickle cell anemia Aplastic anemia

    Iron deficiency anemia ♣ excessive loss of iron . ♣ Women are at risk. ---- For menstrual blood and
    growing fetus. Megaloblastic anemia ♣ Less intake of vitamin B 12 and folic acid. ♣ Red bone
    marrow produces abnormal RBC. e.g cancer drugs Pernicious anemia ♣ Inability of stomach to
    absorb vitamin B 12 in small intestine. TYPES OF ANEMIA Hemorrhagic anemia ♣ Excessive loss of
    RBC through bleeding,stomach ulcers,menstruation Hemolytic anemia ♣ RBC plasma membrane
    ruptures. ♣ may be due to parasites,toxins,antibodies. Thalassemmia ♣ Less synthesis of
    hemoglobin .Found in population of Mediterranean sea. Sickle cell anemia ♣ Hereditary blood
    disorder, characterized by red blood cells that assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape. Aplastic
    anemia ♣ destruction of red bone marrow . ♣ caused by toxins,gamma radiation. Normochromic,
    normocytic anemia (normal MCHC, normal MCV).These include: anemias of chronic disease
    hemolytic anemias (those characterized by accelerated destruction of rbc's) anemia of acute
    hemorrhage aplastic anemias (those characterized by disappearance of rbc precursors from the
    marrow) Hypochromic, microcytic anemia (low MCHC, low MCV).These include: iron deficiency
    anemia thalassemias anemia of chronic diseases Normochromic, macrocytic anemia (normal
    MCHC, high MCV).These include: vitamin B12 deficiency folate deficiency

    RISK FACTORS Poor socio economic class Multiparity Teenage pregnancy Menstural problem
