Anemia is considered one of the most common diseases that affect human body. In case prolonged existence, it can lead to development chronic due excessive load on vital organs. Effective treatments are available with early detection disease and largely depend its underlying cause. terms severity, anemia be divided into mild, moderate, severe according level hemoglobin. The morphological classif...

A 54-year-old man was admitted to the hematology department for exploration of splenomegaly. The blood count showed an isolated normochromic normocytic anemia (9.9 g/dL). Bone marrow aspiration a rich with estimated 35% plasma cell infiltration made up dystrophic cells (plasma flamed cytoplasm, centered nuclei, multinuclearity), making diagnosis multiple myeloma.

conclusions anemia is a common complication of dm and is associated with duration of disease and microvascular complications. results a total of 93 patients (30.4%) had anemia including 46 (15.1%) with normochromic normocytic, 44 (14.4%) with hyperchromic microcytic, and 3 (1%) with hyperchromic macrocytic anemias. there was a positive correlation between duration of dm and anemia. microvascula...

BACKGROUND Patients who require transfusion as part of their clinical management have the right to expect sufficient blood to be available to meet their needs and to receive the safest blood possible. Donor deferrals (disqualification) lead to loss of precious blood donors and blood units available for transfusion purposes. It is believed that a large majority of donor deferrals are due to temp...

Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. It is diagnosed when serum iron concentrations are low despite adequate iron stores, as evidenced by serum ferritin that is not low. In the setting of inflammation, it may be difficult to differentiate AI from iron defici...

Congenital hypoplastic anemia is a rare disease characterized by a normochromic, normocytic anemia, a deficiency of erythroblasts in the marrow, and normal leukocyte and platelet counts. The disease usually is treated successfully with corticosteroid therapy; however, some patients become refractory to corticosteroids and must receive washed, packed red blood cell transfusions. The management a...

As a rare cerebrovascular disease, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is caused by various conditions including trauma, infection, oral contraceptive, cancer and hematologic disorders. However, iron deficiency anemia is not a common cause for CVT in adult. Posterior fossa infarction following CVT is not well demonstrated because posterior fossa has abundant collateral vessels. Here, we report a c...

BACKGROUND Cognitive dysfunction has been increasingly recognized in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Senile plaques are important pathophysiological characteristic of cognitive dysfunction. The major component of plaques is the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide released from proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Plasma Aβ has been a focus of the growing literature on blood based ...

Background: Anemia is the most common complication due to CKD. Normocytic normochromic type of anemia in CKD is, but there also some microcytic hypochromic. Clinical examination such as erythrocyte indices and monitoring serum ferritin levels can help diagnose The purpose this study determine correlation between patients hemodialysis unit PKU Hospital Bantul.Methods: This research involved 50 a...
