Join us as we explore the ins and outs of anemia, from the definition and laboratory results consistent with it, to the clinical findings and the importance of history and physical examination in diagnosis.
We'll also dive into the body's adaptation to anemia, including the symptoms experienced by the patient, and distinguish between effective, ineffective, and insufficient erythropoiesis with real-life examples.
When it comes to diagnosis, we'll discuss the laboratory procedures that are initially performed and the importance of the reticulocyte count in the evaluation of anemia. We'll also explain the significance of examining the peripheral blood film and distinguishing important findings such as variations in red blood cell morphology.
And we'll provide easy-to-follow algorithms incorporating the absolute reticulocyte count and mean cell volume to specify three groups of anemias involving decreased or ineffective red blood cell production and narrow the differential diagnosis of anemia, respectively.
Don't miss out on this essential guide to understanding and diagnosing anemia. Tune in now!
