platelets bone marrow Lymph nodes and spleen
ETIOLOGY
Persistent bleeding
Loss of blood due to stomach ulcer or colan, rectal cancer.
Insufficient iron in diet poor absorption of iron from the diet crohn's disease
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Shortage of elemental iron in body
↓
Our bone marrow needs iron to make hemoglobin
↓
Without adequate iron body can’t produce enough hemoglobin for RBC
↓
Decrease haemoglobin is result in insufficient oxygen delivery to the issue
DIAGNOSIS
Low serum ferritin level -20< mg/L
Low MCV (Mean corpuscular volume)
Low MCHC (Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration)
TREATMENT:

MEGALOBLASTIC ANAEMIA
Megaloblastic anaemia is the type of anaemia characterized by formation of
unusually large, abnormal, immature RBC, called as megaloblastic they the
bone marrow, which are released in the blood.
TYPES: -

Megaloblastic anaemia
Folit deficiency
Megaloblastic anaemia.
SYMPTOMS: -
Shortness of breath
Muscle weakness
Abnormal paleness of skin
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Tingling sensation in hands &fit
Numnus, extremities
ETIOLOGY: -
Vitamin B12 deficiency
Folate deficiency
Mal absorption
Intestinal disorder are surgery as the stomach
Alcohol abuse redarts absorption of folic acid.
DIAGNOSIS
Peripheral blood smear test
Bone marrow biopsy
Routine blood count
Serum folic acid
Serum cobalamin
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Lack of vitamin B12 allows folic acid to be trapped as non - functional methyl tetra hydrafolit
↓
So deficiency of functional FH4 causes impairment of formatt of deoxythymidine
monophosphate(THP). Which is needed for DNA synthesis
↓
As the result large proerythroplast fails to divide rapidly to make mature RBC rather
immature precursors of erythrocyte (Blast cells) appeared to cause megaloblastic anaemia.
TREATMENT
(Vitamin B12 deficiency)
Oral dose of vitamin B2 Supplements (1-10 microgram/day)
For patients with malabsorption dose should be 1000 microgram/day.
Parenteral vitamin B12 (100-1000 microgram) is give -in Im (or) deep SC (subcutaneous).
FOLIT DEFICENCY
Oral folic acid 5mg for day for 15 days when followed by qmg/day
