21. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 DD Of Microcytic Anemia Iron deficiency anemia Thalassemia Chronic illness o Chronic infection o Chronic inflammation o Chronic renal failure Lead poisoning Sideroblastic anemia Iron deficiency anemia Thalassemia Chronic illness o Chronic infection o Chronic inflammation o Chronic renal failure Lead poisoning Sideroblastic anemia By far the commonest is IDA & Thalassemia

22. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 Microcytic anemia (DO SERUM IRON) ↓serum iron Consider IDA OR Chronic illness Do serum ferritin IDA ↓ferritin ↓TS% ↑IBC ↑FEP IDA ↓ferritin ↓TS% ↑IBC ↑FEP Chronic illness Normal ferritin Infection Inflammation CRF Chronic illness Normal ferritin Infection Inflammation CRF Normal serum iron Blood film (basophilic stippling ) Blood film (basophilic stippling ) Positive Consider Lead poisionig Positive Consider Lead poisionig Do serum lead Negative Do HB electrophoresis Abnormal Thalassemia Abnormal Thalassemia Normal Do BM SIDEROBLASTIC ANEMIA

23. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 IRON DEFFECIENCY ANEMIA Therapeutic Trail Of 4-6 Mg/KG /d Of Elemental Iron Can Be Initial Step In Diagnosing Of Microcytic Anemia, Response To Test By Reticulocytosis By The 5 th – 7 th Day And Increase HB I Gm With In 1- 2 Weeks Is Diagnostic, If No Response You Can Evaluate The Other Causes Of Microcytic Anemia. Iron depletionIron deficiencyAnemia ↓ ferritin ↓ transferrin saturation ↑ EEP ↓ ferritin ↓ transferrin saturation ↑ EEP ↓ HB ↓ MCV Therapeuti c test Stage of IDA

24. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 IRON DEFFECIENCY ANEMIA Decrease ferritin is early lab. Sign for IDA as it a mirror for iron stores however it is an acute phase reactant and it can increased by inflammation even with URTI. NB1 RDW and corrected retics can hepps in DD between IDA & thalassemia NB2

25. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 DD Of Normocytic Anemia Hemolytic anemia except for thalassemia Aplastic anemia Hemorrhagic anemia Hemolytic anemia except for thalassemia Aplastic anemia Hemorrhagic anemia

26. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 Normocytic anemia (DO reticulocyte count) Low retics PLT & WBCS Normal Consider Pure red cell anemia BLAST CELLS High retics Serum bilirubin Normal History of acute hemorrhage & investigate for bleeding High comb's test Positive AHA Positive AHA Negative Pancytopenia YESNO LEUKEMIA Aplastic anemia A leukemic leukemia BM infiltration Bone Marrow Aspiration Do blood film Heinz bodies Sickle Sphrocyte SCA HB electro Spherocytosis OFT G6PD ENZYME ESSAY

27. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 Normocytic anemia At what time the retics count is normal or decreased in hemolytic anemia ? Aplastic crisis : parvo virus infection Decrsed erythropoietin : CKD Decreased micronutrient for erythropoiesis : decrees iron & folate Autoimmune hemolytic anemia when the autoantibodies reacts with antigens that are presently on reticulocytes which increase clearance of the cells

28. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 Normocytic anemia Direct : coombs reagent + patient RBCS if agglutination (positive) Indirect : coombs reagent + patient serum + known RBCS if agglutination (positive) Coombs test is negative in about 10% of patients with AHA the patient should be treated for AIHA if the disease is strongly suspected even direct coombs is negative Coombs test

29. ANEMIA APPROACH 2 Normocytic anemia Amount Of Enzyme Activity Depend On The Age Of RBCS G6PD It is difficult to be diagnosed by HB electrophoresis It should requested for HbH & hb Bart, Hb HPLC,high performance liquid chromatography It is difficult to be diagnosed by HB electrophoresis It should requested for HbH & hb Bart, Hb HPLC,high performance liquid chromatography May needed in diagnosis of anemia with bone marrow failure in cases of osteoporosis Alpha thalassemia Skeletal survey
