In autosomal recessive - if affected
1 person marries a normal person, how 2 Microcytic anemia
will their offspring be effected ?
3 Transferrin 4 Anemia of chronic disease

iron deficiency, usually due to malabsorption / occult
Microcytic anemia
blood loss, or lead poisoning. MCV <80
due to hemorrhage or chronic disease. Aplastic anemia.
Normocytic anemia
MVC 80-92
, due to folate or vitamin B12(cobalamin) deficiency
macrocytic anemia (megaloblastic anemia) / pernicious anemia. /liver
diseases
Tests for iron stores. As serum ferritin falls, TIBC rises,
serum ferritin
and serum iron levels will eventually fall.
NORMOcytic anemia with ↓ serum iron, ↓ TIBC, and
Anemia of chronic disease normal iron stores. Treat with epoetin and give an iron
supplement
Schistocytes Associated with hemolytic uremia syndrome
Macrocytic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
B12 is essential to maturation of erythrocytes - low
pernicious anemia
levels will cause the RBC to expand. PPIs and
histamine2 blockers can cause this.
Increased homocysteine & B12 deficiency
methylmalonic acid level
indicates ?
increased homocysteine Folate deficiency
levels
Appear as spheres, lack central pallor, smaller diameter,
Sperocytes indicate immune-mediated process - can be seen after
blood transfusion
a normocytic anemia characterized by the failure of
aplastic anemia
bone marrow to produce red blood cells
Low ferritin iron deficiency anemia
Transferrin transports iron
Available transferrin that is left unbound (Represents the
TIBC (total iron binding
"empty seats on a train"). When iron is low, TIBC will be
capacity)
high. When iron is high, TIBC will be low
32 - 36 g/dL
MCHC (mean corpuscular
hemoglobin concentration)
Concentration of hemoglobin per RBC
Gradual onset with early memory impairment. Most
Alzheimer's disease common form of dementia. Cholinesterase inhibitors for
early treatment.
