| | | Anemias: Decreases in numbers of RBCs or Hb content caused by blood
loss, deficient erythropoiesis, excessive hemolysis, or a combination of
these changes.
The term anemia has been used incorrectly as a
diagnosis; more properly, it denotes a complex of signs and symptoms. The
type of anemia defines its pathophysiologic mechanism and its essential
nature, allowing for appropriate therapy. Not investigating mild anemia is
a serious error; its presence indicates an underlying disorder, and its
severity reveals little about its genesis or true clinical significance.
The symptoms and signs of anemia represent cardiovascular-pulmonary
compensatory responses to the severity and duration of tissue hypoxia.
Severe anemia (eg, Hb < 7 g/dL) can be associated with weakness, vertigo,
headache, tinnitus, spots before the eyes, fatigability, drowsiness,
irritability, and even bizarre behavior. Amenorrhea, loss of libido, GI
complaints, and sometimes jaundice and splenomegaly can occur. Finally,
heart failure or shock can result.
