anemia, what specific cells are deficient?
deficiency in # of rbc, quality hgb, and hct
what are some different causes of anemia?
- blood loss
- impaired rbc production (nutrition deficiency, decreased availability)
- increased destruction of rbcs (sickle cell, meds, incompatible blood)
what can cause the clinical manifestations of anemia
the body's response to tissue hypoxia
what are the levels that are assessed in CBC to determine anemia?
hgb
mild anemia is categorized as hgb of what? moderate anemia is categorized as a hgb of
what?
mild anemia- Hgb of 10-14 g/dl
moderate anemia-hgb 6-10 g/dl
clinical manifestations of mild anemia include
palpitations, DOE, diaphoresis
clinical manifestations of moderate anemia include
increased cardiopulmonary symptoms, dyspnea at rest or DOE, severe fatigue
severe anemia is categorized as a hemoglobin level of what
<6 g/dl
what are integumentary signs of severe anemia
