Anemia classifications

Pathogenic classification.
Posthemorrhagic (acute or chronic).
Haemolytic - acute and chronic.

Chronic haemolytic anaemias can be inherited and acquired.
Anemias caused by disturbances of hemopoiesis:
deficiency of iron, proteins; vitamin В12, folic acid;
hypoplastic and aplastic anaemias;
metaplastic anaemia;
disregulatory anemia.
Слайд 7

Anemia classifications Classification due to haemoglobin content in RBC. Normally haemoglobin

Anemia classifications

Classification due to haemoglobin content in RBC.
Normally haemoglobin content

in erythrocyte is 0,8—1,05. This index is named color index (CI).
hyperchromic – CI > 1,05 ( В12 and pholate-deficiency)
hypochromic – CI < 0,8 (iron deficiency)
normochromic – CI is normal (inherited haemolytic anaemias)
Classification based on the degree of regeneration.
Normally reticulocytes constitute 0.5 to 1.5% of the RBC.
regenerative - normal reticulocytes count (most of anemias)
hyporegenerative - reticulocytes <0.5 (chronic posthemorrhagic)
non-regenerative anemia - reticulocytes are absent (bone marrow aplasia)
hyperregenerative - reticulocytes >1,5 (inherited hemolytic anemias)
Слайд 8

Anemia classifications Classification based on the on the type of RBC

Anemia classifications

Classification based on the on the type of RBC maturation.


erythroblastic anemias
megaloblastic anemias (B12 vitamin, folic acid deficiency)
Classification based on the on the size of RBC.
The size of RBC refers to mean corpuscular volume (MCV).
microcytic anemia - MCV is under 80 (iron deficiency)
normocytic - MCV (80-100) acute posthemorrhagic
macrocytic – MCV is over 100 (B12 vitamin, folic acid deficiency)

Anemia of blood loss The main reasons of blood loss: blood

Anemia of blood loss

The main reasons of blood loss:
blood vessels or

heart walls safety loss (incision, rupture, tumor growth, aneurysm)
increased vessels permeability (radiation sickness, leukemia, sepsis, vitamin C deficiency)
decreased blood coagulation (coagulation factors deficiency).
Слайд 16

Acute posthemorrhagic anemia 1st stage – heart rate and blood vessel

Acute posthemorrhagic anemia

1st stage – heart rate and blood vessel tonus

are increased, centralization of bloodflow, normocytic hypovolemia. First hours after blood loss.
2nd stage (hydremic) – increased tissue fluids outflow to blood stream, olygocytemic normovolaemia (or hypovolaemia). 1-5 day after blood loss.
3rd stage – activation of erythropoiesis and liver function, high reticulocyte count . 6 – 10 day after acute blood loss .
Слайд 17

Principles of blood loss therapy Etiologic treatment: the increasing of blood

Principles of blood loss therapy

Etiologic treatment: the increasing of blood coagulation,

the reconstruction of vessel or heart walls.
Pathogenic treatment: the transfusion of blood, native or synthetic plasma (the normalizing of blood volume), the infusion of proteins and ions.
Symptomatic therapy: normalization of respiration, heart work, liver and kidneys function.
Слайд 18

Chronic posthemorrhagic anaemia RBC number and Hb content is decreased Hypochromic

Chronic posthemorrhagic anaemia

RBC number and Hb content is decreased
Hypochromic (colour

index is 0,6-0,4)
This anaemia is hyporegenerative.
Degenerative forms: hypochromic erythrocytes, poikilocytosis, anisocytosis with microcytes
WBC - leukopenia, neutropenia and relative lymphocytosis
Bone marrow: process of RBCs saturation with haemoglobin is violated, the decrease of erythroblasts maturation
Слайд 19

Chronic posthemorrhagic anaemia Regeneratory stage: Hb, RBC, colour index are lower

Chronic posthemorrhagic anaemia

Regeneratory stage: Hb, RBC, colour index are lower that

normal. Its duration depends on the intensity of blood loss and regenerative ability of the bone marrow.
Hyporegenerative stage: Hb and RBC lower than in 1st stage. Colour index < 0,5. Microcytes prevail. The level of serum iron is low.
Non-regenerative stage (marrow exhaustion): Reticulocytes are absent.

Hemolytic Anemias

Types of hemolysis
Extravascular (common) – occurs in phagocytic cells of

the spleen, liver, and bone marrow.
Intravascular (rare) – RBC undergo lysis in the circulation and release their content into plasma. Hemoglobinemia, hemoglobinuria.

G6PD

is necessary for glutathione synthesis, which is an antioxidant, destroying peroxides.
Oxidative stress is possible in severe infection, some medicines (sulfonamides, primaquine (an antimalarial), glibenclamide) and certain foods.
Oxidation and precipitation of Hb within RBC (Heinz bodies) occur in G6PD deficiency.

Hereditary hemolytic anemias

Pathology of haemoglobin
Sickle cell disease is a qualitative

disorder of Hb (abnormal Hb is synthesized)
Thalassemia is a quantitative disorder (abnormal quantity of Hb chains)
Normally RBC contain Hb A which consist of 2 alfa and 2 beta chains (α2β2)
Слайд 28

Sickle cells disease substitution of valine for glutamic acid in HbA

Sickle cells disease

substitution of valine for glutamic acid in HbA turns

it to HbS
HbS is polymerized and RBC turn sickle cells in during deoxygenation
RBC become stuck in blood vessels
This causes ischemia and infarction.
The consequences of infarction are determined by their location.

Thalassemia classification α thalassemia, the production of α globin is deficient

Thalassemia classification

α thalassemia, the production of α globin is deficient
β thalassemia

the production of β globin is defective.
The heterozygous form manifests as thalassemia minor - asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic.
The homozygous form – thalassemia major – severe hemolytic anemia.
Beta thalassemia major is also known as Cooley's Anemia.
Слайд 30

Thalassemia deficiency in the production of one globin chains type lead

Thalassemia

deficiency in the production of one globin chains type lead

to excess production of other globin chains.
Excessive globin chains are precipitated within the RBC (target-type RBC).
Enlargement of liver and spleen, excess of tissue iron stores.
