6. Summary for anaemic
heamoglobin concentrations
•Male
•Female
•Infant /children up to 12 yr
•Pregnant female
< 13 mg/dl
<12 mg/dl
<11 mg/dl
< 11 mg/dl
27. Vit B12 Dificiency aneamia
We can do further
investigations to confirm the
cause
Intrinsic factor antibody test
Schilling test
Upper gastro intestinal endoscopy
History taken
Folate Dificiency anaemia
Red cell folate test
Serum folate test
28. Some of main causes are
Excess alcohol
Liver disease
Aplastic anaemia
Hypothyroidism
Drugs
This causes can confirmed
by History taken of the
patient
40. Aplastic anaemia
Normal bone marrow
biopsy
Normal distribution and
cellularity are seen
Aplastic patient
a – bone marrow aspiration
a ̶ bone marrow biopsy
Hypocellularity can be seen
