Haemolytic Anaemia Testing To check for the presence of any haemolytic anaemia the following test may be performed: Haematology Profile (FBC/FBE) Should demonstrate an anaemia Blood Film Schistocytes Products of RBC breakdown Suggests intravascular haemolysis (IVH) Microspherocytes Intra/Extravascular haemolysis (IVH/EVH) A hallmark of haemolytic anaemia (HA) Polychromasia (IVH/EVH) Nucleated Red Blood Cells (IVH/EVH) Erythroid hyperplasia is more pronounced than in HA than in non-HA (Dec. M:E) Noticeable that the lifespan of RBCs from a patient with an intrinsic RBC defect, when infused into a normal patient, are decreased. Normal RBCs infused into a patient with an intrinsic RBC defect do not haemolyse. Osmotic Fragility Test (OFT) A measure of the RBCs resistance to haemolysis by osmotic stress, depending primarily on the volume of the cell, the surface area and the cell's membrane function

DCI Home Blood Diseases Anemia : What Is ... What Is ... Other Names Causes Who Is At Risk ... Links What Is Anemia? Anemia (uh-NEE-me-uh) is a condition in which your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. Anemia also can occur if your red blood cells don't contain enough hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin). Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color. This protein helps red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. If you have anemia, your body doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. As a result, you may feel tired and have other symptoms. Severe or long-lasting anemia can damage the heart, brain, and other organs of the body. Very severe anemia may even cause death. Overview Blood is made up of various parts, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets (PLATE-lets), and plasma (the fluid portion of blood). White blood cells and platelets (PLATE-lets) also are made in the bone marrow. White blood cells help fight infection. Platelets stick together to seal small cuts or breaks on the blood vessel walls and stop bleeding. With some types of anemia, you may have low numbers of all three types of blood cells. Anemia has three main causes: blood loss, lack of red blood cell production, or high rates of red blood cell destruction. These causes may be due to many diseases, conditions, or other factors.

Hematology Home Search Approach to the Patient with Anemia Author: Márcia Datz MD , Pediatrician Introduction Anemia is a commonly encountered clinical condition that is caused by an acquired or hereditary abnormality of red blood cells (RBC) or its precursors, or may be a manifestation of an nonhematologic disorder. Definition Anemia is defined as a decrease in the circulating RBC mass and a corresponding decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Normal values of the hemogram: TEST WOMEN MEN Ht (%) 36-48 40-52 Hg (g/dl) 12-16 13,5-17,7 Hem 4,0-5,4 4,5-6,0 VCM 80-100 80-100 A decrease in any of this values (Ht, Hg, Hem) is called anemia. They can be altered by the plasmatic volumes.Diference between women and men values are due to androgen hormones. Signs and Symptoms The clinical manifestations vary with the age, degree and rapidity of onset, presence of subjacent illness and other factors. Mild anemia are often assymptomatic. The main symptoms are exercise dyspnea, fatigue, palpitation, pica (consumption of substances such as ice, starch or clay, frequently found in iron deficiency anemia), syncope (particularly following exercise) and bounding pulse. Dizziness, headache, syncope, tinnitus or vertigo, irritability, difficulty sleeping or concentrating are more frequent in severe chronic anemia. Common signs are pallor (color of skin, palms, oral and conjunctival mucous membrane and nail beds), tachycardia, ejection sistolic murmur, mild peripheral edema and venous hums and wide pulse pressure. In old people, angina pectoris can be an important clinical manifestation. Females commonly develop abnormal menstruation, both amenorrhea and increased bleeding.Males can develop decrease in libido and impotence.

See also: Anemia due to B12 deficiency Anemia due to folate deficiency Anemia due to iron deficiency Anemia of chronic disease ... Thalassemia Causes While many parts of the body are essential to making red blood cells, most of the work is done in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft tissue in the center of bones that helps form blood cells. Healthy red blood cells last between 90 and 120 days. Parts of your body then remove old blood cells. A hormone called erythropoietin made in your kidneys signal your bone marrow to make more red blood cells. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells. It gives red blood cells their red color. People with anemia do not have enough hemoglobin. Possible causes of anemia include: Certain medications Chronic diseases such as cancer, ulcerative colitis, or rheumatoid arthritis

I too, was fatigued, off balance at times walking, sick a lot with flu symptoms, etc. I now give myself vitamin B-12 shots once a week. It was discovered through blood work that I was very low in vitamin B-12. I eat healthier, exercise a couple of times a week and feel somewhat better." "I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia in 1999. I was losing the use of my hands and my muscles. I really was like a mentally challenged person. My tongue was hurting and that is what triggered the diagnosis. When I was first diagnosed, I had to have a B12 shot twice a week and was not allowed outside on my own. I was trained to do the shots on my own, which I still do. At first, I had to have a shot once a month, but soon after, my doctor changed my shots to every two weeks. That’s what I have been on ever since."
