- In men, anemia is Hb < 14 g/dL, Hct < 42%, or RBC < 4.5
million/μL.

For infants, normal values vary with age, necessitating
use of age-related tables.

Common Symptoms and Hematology 1 (1)LF.pptx
signs of anemia include:
General fatigue
Weakness
Dyspnea on exertion
Pallor
History and physical
examination are followed
by laboratory testing with a
complete blood count and
peripheral smear. The
differential diagnosis (and
cause of anemia) can then
be further refined based on
the results of testing.
, - CBC with WBC and platelets
- RBC indices and morphology
- Reticulocyte count
- Peripheral smear
- bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
- look at MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW
Dx of anemia? *The reticulocyte count demonstrates how well the
bone marrow compensates for the anemia.
- Subsequent tests are selected on the basis of these
results and on the clinical presentation.
- Recognition of general diagnostic patterns can
expedite the diagnosis
