Study Notes
Anemia
- Characterized by a lower than normal hemoglobin concentration and diminished oxygen delivery to tissues.
Hemolytic Anemia
- Results in premature destruction of red blood cells and release of hemoglobin into the plasma.
- Causes massive destruction of erythrocytes, leading to:
- Release of hemoglobin into plasma.
- Hemoglobinuria (hemoglobin in urine).
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes).
- Caused by:
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
- Lead poisoning.
- Certain medications.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
- Common symptom of anemia: Fatigue.
- Most common type of anemia: Iron deficiency anemia.
- Characteristic sign of severe anemia: Pallor (pale skin).
- Assessment finding indicating anemia: Low hemoglobin levels.
- Best evaluation for diagnosing blood diseases: Complete Blood Count (CBC).
Treatment and Complications
- Medical management approach: Iron supplements.
- Possible complication of untreated anemia: Heart problems.
- Important substance for healthy red blood cells and optimal nerve and brain function: Iron.
- Finding associated with iron deficiency anemia: Microcytic hypochromic anemia.
- Most effective oral preparation for treating iron deficiency anemia: Ferrous sulfate.
