Abstract
Background: : Anemia is a worldwide problem with highest incidence in developing countries. India has the highest prevalence of nutritional anemia predominantly in women and children. Methods: An observational and analytical study was carried out for period of 12 months. We studied 261 adult patient for typing the anemia. We perform the hematology parameter by automated hematologyanalyzer, For confirmation PBS and bone marrow examination, serological test like serum iron profile , vit B12 and folic acid levels in blood is done Result: Total 261 cases of anemia included in the study. Microcytic hypochromic anemia were63.2 %of cases, macrocytic anemia cases were 36.77% of cases. Large number of iron deficiency anemia’s were seen in female with reproductive age group and megaloblastic anemia seen with age 50-60 years of age in both sex. Conclusion: For the diagnosis of nutritional anemia haemogram by automated hematology parameter, PBS, serum iron profile , serum vit B12 and folic acid is required. DOI: 10.21276/AABS.1555
Highlights
In 1992, World Health Organization(WHO) global estimates of anemia prevalence averaged 56%, with range of 35-75% depending on geographic location
Large number of iron deficiency anemia’s were seen in female with reproductive age group and megaloblastic anemia seen with age 50-60 years of age in both sex
The severity of megaloblastic marocytosis is directly proportional to the severity of the anaemia and early megaloblastosis may manifest only mild change
Summary
In 1992, World Health Organization(WHO) global estimates of anemia prevalence averaged 56%, with range of 35-75% depending on geographic location. Prevalence of anemia seen in south Asia, among highest in world. The evaluation of cause of anemia includes complete blood count, peripheral smear, and reticulocyte count and serum iron indices. [3] As per WHO classification, majority of subject 41.3% suffered from moderate anemia, while. In the study of NeelamDeshpande et al 70% of anemic subject had low MCV with high RDW suggestive of iron deficiency.[4]Uma Khandri and Archana Sharma stated that megaloblastic anemia was diagnosed from complete blood count, red cell indices, blood film examination and assay of two vitamins. Cobalamine deficiency was responsible for megaloblastic anemia in majority of patient (65%), combined (folate and cobalamine) seen in 12% and pure folate deficiency in 6% cases. India has the highest prevalence of nutritional anemia predominantly in women and children
