Reduced red-cell production - Defects in haemoglobin function - Decreased production e.g. deficiency state or bone marrow aplasia 2. Increased red-cell destruction (haemolysis → congenital e.g. sickle cell, acquired e.g. malaria/drugs) 3. Loss of red cells from circulation (blood loss through bleeding) 4. Dilutional effect from increased plasma volume (e.g. pregnancy) Varied and depend on speed of onset. *Acute blood loss = injury/haemorrhage/ruptured ectopic pregnancy etc - Collapse - Breathlessness - Tachycardia - Poor volume pulse - Reduced BP Peripheral vasoconstriction *Mild Anaemia: - Asymptomatic - Lethargy - Pallor DENTAL RELEVANCE *Severe Anaemia (Hb 90 Grade 2 = mild CRF = GFR 60-90 Grade 3 = Moderate CRF = GFR 30-60 Grade 3 – Severe CRF = GFR 15-30 Grade 4 = End stage Renal Failure = GFR
