normal sized RBC, just a decreased number of them
macrocytic anemia - answer✔✔MCV >100
normal amount of RBC, they are larger than usual due to increased hgb
what kind of anemia is iron deficiency anemia - answer✔✔microcytic
iron deficiency anemia - answer✔✔the supply of iron needed to produce hgb is inadequate
S/S of iron deficiency anemia - answer✔✔decreased H/H
gradual fatigue
increasing SOB

Ferritin and TIBC in iron deficiency anemia - answer✔✔-decreased ferritin and iron levels (if
iron is low, there is nothing for it to bind to resulting in low ferritin levels)
-increased TIBC (or transferrin) so that more iron can be delivered since there is not much to
bind to
What does TIBC do? - answer✔✔transports iron in blood
What does ferritin do? - answer✔✔binds to iron
Most common cause of Iron deficiency anemia - answer✔✔GI tract blood loss
Thalassemia - answer✔✔blood disorder that causes less hemoglobin
it is inherited
Normocytic anemias - answer✔✔bleeding, nutritional anemia
anemia of renal insufficiency, hemolysis
anemia of chronic disease, a primary bone marrow disorder
examples of normocytic anemia - answer✔✔aplastic anemia
endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism)
acquired aphasia (parvo, HIV, medications)
Macrocytic anemias - answer✔✔megaloblastic anemia (vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency)
pernicious anemia
drug induced
nutritional
