Hematocrit (HCT) - ANS Percentage of red blood cells in a given volume of blood.
Hemoglobin (Hgb) - ANS Ratio of hemoglobin to hematocrit, typically 1:3.
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) - ANS Measurement of the average amount of
hemoglobin in a red blood cell.
Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) - ANS Measurement of the average volume of a red blood
cell.
Red blood count (RBC) - ANS The capacity of blood to carry oxygen.
Red cell distribution width (RDW) - ANS Variation in the size of red blood cells.
Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) - ANS A measure of transferrin levels in the blood, inversely
related to iron levels.
Serum Iron - ANS The amount of iron circulating in the blood.
Ferritin - ANS A measure of the body's iron storage levels.
Reticulocyte count - ANS Assessment of the bone marrow's ability to produce red blood cells.
Iron Deficiency Anemia - ANS Anemia caused by low iron levels, typically treated with ferrous
sulfate and monitored through hematocrit levels.
Thalassemia - ANS Hereditary disorder leading to reduced hemoglobin synthesis and
microcytic anemia, often managed with transfusions.
Anemia of Chronic Disease - ANS Anemia associated with inflammation and organ failure,
often requiring oral or IV iron supplementation.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency - ANS Anemia caused by low vitamin B12 levels, treated with dietary
changes, injections, or oral therapy.
Folic Acid Deficiency - ANS Anemia due to inadequate folic acid intake, often managed with
daily oral folic acid supplements.
