Definition of anaemia
ï Anaemia is defined as a reduction in the
haemoglobin concentration of the blood
ï This results in a decreased oxygen
carrying capacity
4. Normal values for peripheral blood

Erythrocytes (per ”l) 4.8±0.6x106 5.4±0.8x106
Hemoglobin (g/dl) 14 ± 2 16 ±2
Hematocrit (%) 42 ±5 47 ±5
Reticulocytes (%) 1 1

Mean corpuscular volume (MCV; ”m3) 82-92
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH; pg) 27-32

5. Etiologic classification of anemias (1)
I. Impaired red cell production
A. Disturbance of proliferation and differentiation of
stem cells ( aplastic anemia, pure red cell aplasia)
B. Disurbance of proliferation and maturation of
erythrocytes:
1.Defective DNA synthesis (megaloblastic anemias)
2.Defective Hb synthesis:
a/. Deficient heme synthesis (iron deficiency)
b/. Deficient globin synthesis (thalassemia)
3. Unknown or multiple mechanisms (anemia of chronic
disease, anemia of marrow replacement)
6. Etiologic classification of anemias (2)
II. Increased rate of destruction (hemolytic anemias)
A. Intrinsic abnormalities
Hereditary
1. Red cell membrane defects (hereditary spherocytosis,
hereditary eliptocytosis)
2. Red cell enzyme deficiencies
a/. Glycolytic enzymes: pyruvate kinase, hexokinase
b/. Enzymes of hexose monophosphate shunt:
G-6PD, glutathione synthetase
3. Disorders of globin synthesis
a/. Deficient globin synthesis (thalassemia)
b/. Structurally abnormal globin synthesis
(sickle cell anemia, unstable hemoglobins)
Acquired
1. Membrane defect: paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
7. Etiologic classification of anemias (3)
B. Extrinsic abnormalities
1. Antibody mediated
a/. Autoantibodies (idiopathic, drug-associated,
SLE, malignancies)
b/. Isohemagglutinins (transfusion reactions,
erythroblastosis fetalis)
2. Mechanical trauma of RBC
a/. Microangiopathic hemolytic anemias (thrombotic
thrombocytopenic purpura, DIC)
b/. Cardiac traumatic hemolytic anemia
3. Chemicals and microorganisms
4. Sequestration in mononuclear phagocytic system
- hypersplenism

limfosit kecil (Normal)
ï MCH : warna eritrosit atau content dari hemoglobin
ï RDW : perbedaan ukuran eritrosit.

methylene blue atau brilliant cresyl blue dan
membentuk gambaran seperti âbola golfâ

68. Thalassemia merupakan penyakit yang dapat
menurunkan kualitas hidup
Memerlukan biaya yang cukup besar untuk terapi
thalassemia (terutama pasien thalassemia yang
membutuhkan transfusi sepanjang hidupnya
Insiden thalassemia dapat diminimalkan melalui
pemeriksaan skrining yang optimal (Total Solution)
Meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat mengenai
penyakit thalassemia dan akibatnya
