Anaemia
Anaemia is a state in which the haemoglobin concentration falls below the accepted normal range depending on age and sex.
Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or the haemoglobin concentration within them is lower than normal.
- Haemoglobin is needed to carry oxygen besides this, if you have too few or abnormal red blood cells, or not enough haemoglobin, there will be a decreased capacity of the blood to carry oxygen to the body’s tissues.
Decreased or ineffective marrow production because i.e.,
- Lack of iron, vitamin B12 or folate
- Either Hypoplasia or myelodysplasia
- Invasion especially by malignant cells
- Renal failure
Anaemia of chronic disease.
Normal marrow production but increased removal of cells i.e.:
- Blood loss
- Haemolysis
- Hypersplenism.
- Pregnancy
Menorrhagia
- GI tract bleeding
- Dietary vegans
- Hook worm infection.
Subnormal level of haemoglobin causes lowered oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
This, in turn, initiates compensatory physiologic adaptations such as follows i.e.:
- Increased release of oxygen from haemoglobin
- Increased blood flow to the tissues
- Maintenance of the blood volume and
- At last, Redistribution of blood flow to maintain the cerebral blood supply.
Eventually, however, tissue hypoxia develops causing impaired functions of the affected tissues.
The degree of functional impairment of individual tissues is variable depending upon their oxygen requirements.
Tissues with high oxygen requirement such as the heart, CNS also the skeletal muscle during exercise bear the brunt of clinical effects of anaemia.
Etiological
- Blood loss – either acute or chronic post-haemorrhagic anaemia.
- Impaired red cell formation:
a] Genetic disorders of haemoglobin synthesis: i.e.
Thalassemia syndromes.
b] Acquired deficiency of substances essential for haemopoiesis
- Iron deficiency anaemia.
- Megaloblastic anaemia due to deficiency of vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin C.
- Protein malnutrition.
- Haemolytic anaemia due to red cell destruction.
- Defect in stem cell/erythroid precursor
- Aplastic anaemia
- Pure red cell aplasia
- Miscellaneous i.e.
Anaemia of chronic disorders- Infection/inflammatory disorders, either kidney or hepatic failure.
- Drug-induced disorders of erythropoiesis.
- Infiltrative disorders of bone marrow – e.g. leukaemia, lymphoma, metastatic Ca, myelosclerosis.
According to Size of Red Cells and their Haemoglobin Content (Morphological)
- Microcytic, hypochromic
- Normocytic, normochromic
- Microcytic.
SYMPTOMS:
In symptomatic cases of anaemia, the presenting features are i.e.:
- Tiredness
- Easy fatigability
- Generalized muscular weakness
- Lethargy and headache.
In older patients, there may be symptoms of i.e.
- Cardiac failure
- Angina pectoris
- Intermittent claudication
- Confusion
- Visual disturbances.
SIGNS
- Pallor i.e.: Pallor is the most common also characteristic sign which may be seen in the mucous membranes, conjunctivae and skin.
- Cardiovascular system i.e.: A hyperdynamic circulation may be present with tachycardia, collapsing pulse, cardiomegaly, mid systolic flow murmur, dyspnoea on exertion, also in the case of older people, congestive heart failure.
- Central nervous system i.e.: The older patients may develop symptoms referable to the CNS such as attacks of faintness, giddiness, headache, tinnitus, drowsiness, numbness and tingling sensations of the hands and feet.
- Ocular manifestations i.e.: Generally, Retinal haemorrhages may occur if there is associated vascular disease or bleeding diathesis.
- Reproductive system i.e.: Menstrual disturbances such as amenorrhoea and menorrhagia and loss of libido are some of the manifestations involving the reproductive system in anaemia subjects.
- Renal system i.e.: Mild proteinuria and impaired concentrating capacity of the kidney may occur in severe anaemia.
- Lastly, Gastrointestinal system i.e.: Anorexia, flatulence, nausea, constipation and weight loss may occur.
Physical Examination
Appearance of the Patient
- Pallor (pale skin, mucosal linings and nail beds) is often a useful diagnostic sign in moderate or severe anemia, but it is not always apparent. Commonly seen in nail bed, palm crease, also conjunctiva.
Physical Findings Associated with Specific Anemia
Iron deficiency anemia i.e.
- Cheilosis
- Koilonychia
- Glossitis
Secondary to Bleeding Iron Deficiency Anemia i.e.
- Melena
- Hematochezia
- Hematuria
- Hematemesis
Secondary to Malabsorption Iron Deficiency Anemia i.e.
- Dermatitis herpetiformis
Vitamin B12 Deficiency
- Chelitis
- Glossitis
- Decreased proprioception, and vibratory sensation
Hematological Malignancy (Leukemia, Lymphoma)
- Lymphadenopathy
- Splenomegaly
- Purpura
- Ecchymoses
- Complete blood counts (CBC) with reticulocyte count are the basic test.
- Haemoglobin estimation
- Peripheral blood film examination
- Red cell indices
- Leucocyte also platelet count
- Reticulocyte count
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- Bon- marrow examination.
Severity of anaemia can be based on Hb levels i.e.:
Mild: Hb 9.1 -10.5 g/dl
Moderate: Hb 6-9 g/dl
Severe: Hb < 6 g/dl
- Alpha Thalassemia
- Beta Thalassemia
- Low LDL Cholesterol (in other words, Hypobetalipoproteinemia)
- Megaloblastic Anemia
- Spur Cell Anemia
- You can’t prevent some kinds of anemia, such as sickle cell anemia, hemolytic anemia or aplastic anemia.
- People with chronic diseases who may develop anemia should watch for anemia symptoms.
- And you can prevent nutritional anemias by eating a healthy diet.
