Classification of Anemia
Morphological
Etiological
Morphological
Macrocytic (Megaloblastic )MCV>100 fl
Macrocytic (Non megaloblastic) Microcytic (MCV <80 fl ) Normocytic (81-99 fl)
Etiological Excessive destruction or loss of red
cells 1) Blood loss a) acute b) chronic 2)Extra Corpuscular hemolytic disease a) antibodies b) infection eg. Malaria c) Drugs chemicals d) Trauma to red cells
3)Intra corpuscalr hemolytic disease Various acquired and hereditary
causes of hemolytic anemia
Inadequate production f mature red cells
1) Deficiency of essential substances like iron , folic acid, vit B12 , protein and other elements like copper,cobalt etc
2) Deficiency of erythroblasts a)Aplastic anemia b)Pure red cell aplasia
3) Infiltration of bone marrow leukemia, lymphoma,
carcinoma, myelofibrosis4) Endocrine abnormalities Myxoedema, addison’s disease,
pitutary insufficiency 5) Chronic renal disease6) Chronic inflammatory disease7)Cirrhosis of liver
Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia
Iron deficiency Anemia
Iron metabolism
Amount Total body iron= 2-5 Distribution Hemoglobin – 2-3gm Storage iron ( ferriin & hemosiderin ) -1gm Essential (non available) tissue iron -0.5gm Plasma or transport iron - 3-4 mgm
Transport protein – transferrin (beta globulin) One mol binds one or two atomsof ferric iron
normal value – 1.2 – 2 g/l Serum iron normal value – 100ug/dl TIBC –It is the amount of transferrin
available to bind with iron normal value – 300ug/dl
TIBC is normally 3 times that of serum iron
% saturation is about 335
IRON
Functions as electron transporter; vital for life Must be in ferrous (Fe+2) state for activity In anaerobic conditions, easy to maintain
ferrous state Iron readily donates electrons to oxygen,
superoxide radicals, H2O2, OH• radicals Ferric (Fe+3) ions cannot transport electrons or
O2
Organisms able to limit exposure to iron had major survival advantage

Iron absorption
Duodenum Proximal jejunum Influenced by rate of
erythropoiesis and state of iron stores.
Factors affecting Iron Absoption
Form of iron Acids Amount of iron Rate of erythropoiesis
Iron balance
Normal – absorption exceeds excretion

IRONCauses of Iron Deficiency
Blood Loss Gastrointestinal Tract Menstrual Blood Loss Urinary Blood Loss (Rare) Blood in Sputum (Rarer)
Increased Iron Utilization Pregnancy Infancy Adolescence Polycythemia Vera
Malabsorption Tropical Sprue Gastrectomy Chronic atrophic gastritis
Dietary inadequacy (almost never sole cause) Combinations of above

IRON DEFICIENCYSymptoms
Fatigue - Sometimes out of proportion to anemia
Atrophic glossitis Pica Koilonychia (Nail spooning) Esophageal Web

Treatment
Oral Parenteral Blood transfusion Response to treatment?
Plummer Vinson Syndrome (Patterson Kelly Syndrome)
Characterized by iron deficiency, dysphagia with glossitis
Occurs in middle aged or elderly womenAnemia tend to be severe –spleen palpableDysphagia due to spasm at the esophageal
entrance due to fine web/band formationMucosal change may lead to carcinoma
Iron overload
Hemosiderosis HemochromatosisTreatment of iron overload DesferrioxamineBronze diabetes?
