Hypochromia in general blood test. What is it in a child, women, men, causes, treatment

An important laboratory reception when the total blood smear analysis is the coloration and morphological description. This makes it possible to identify hypochromia at the initial stage. As the results can be otpredelit what type of anemia prevalent, which will allow to eliminate the pathology faster.

What is hypochromia?

Hypochromia in the overall analysis of the blood characterized by anemia. This is when the color index of blood to be below normal. For example, when calculating the hematologist color index (CPU) if it is below the normal level on the background other than erythrocytes hypochromia diagnosed.

Causes of

Hypochromic anemia can occur for the following reasons:

• blood loss, which can be chronic or long-term, associated with uterine or gastric bleeding. This phenomenon is the beginning of hypochromia;
• chronic inflammatory processes associated with changes in iron absorption in the gastrointestinal tract;
• neoplasm malignancy in the stomach;
• strong need for micro and macronutrients, especially in iron, which occurs during pregnancy, breastfeeding, as well as in the low and the transition to adulthood;
• lack of iron and vitamins that promote its absorption of food when the body, for example, vegetarian, or other diets.

Classification hypochromia (hypochromic anemia)

The disease can be classified by four types:

• iron;
• sideroahrestical;
• zhelezopereraspredelitelnaya;
• mixed.

When there is a shortage of iron deficiency anemia desired amount of hemoglobin.

This can happen for the following reasons:

• bleeding that takes a long time, or when there was a loss of even a small number of blood;
• the case where the iron body is hard to receive, for example, this may occur after undergoing the operation in the stomach.

For the treatment of prescribers with iron. Together with medication is recommended to keep a special diet, which must be meat, beets, liver, and other products. When anemia sideroahrestical that differently termed as anemia zhelezonasyschennaya, there is an excess of hemoglobin.

In such state, the body is not able to process and to develop hemoglobin.

The cause of the disease may be as follows:

• poisoning by chemicals. This applies to those who conducts career at chemicals plants;
• Treatment with medicines for a long time.

  

For treatment prescribed reception relevant vitamins, such as vitamin B6, in conjunction with a diet, which excludes meat and other products. When zhelezopereraspredelitelnoy anemia hemoglobin is not able to enter the blood system.

The reason may be the following:

• inflammatory disease with purulent character;
• tuberculosis;
• invasion.

Before treat this pathology, to start to fix the problem. Then prescribe a course of vitamin therapy.

When the mixed type occurs lack of vitamin B12 and iron. A person gets tired very quickly, it reduces the immune system, and swollen upper limbs. This type of pathology does not require reception of preparations containing iron, otherwise the situation will only aggravate.

disease symptoms

The disease may be accompanied by the following symptoms:

• dizziness, which occur frequently, can also be symptoms of black dots or fainting;
• dyspnea after slightly physical shape;
• feeling of oppression;
• Frequent palpitations;
• pale cover the epidermis;
• It is the change, the most happening irritable state;
• fast fatiguability.

  

All the above symptoms are characterized for all categories hypochromia. If, all of a sudden they appear, it is necessary to make a general study of the blood system. After the procedure specialist diagnose disease and prescribe appropriate therapy.

The dangerous hypochromia

Lack of hemoglobin is not a threat to human life. However, if this lack does not make up for the appropriate medication, complications may occur. This pathology is more common in elderly generation, which leads to various diseases.

During pregnancy have a lack of hemoglobin is very dangerous, because the fetus then begins anoxia, and it can not survive in the womb. Also, a pregnant woman can begin premature birth, or a child born with low birth weight, become weak-minded.

The following symptoms may occur when danger occurs:

• spleen and liver, increase in size;
• there anti-inflammatory therapies;
• all the limbs become numb;
• disrupt heart.

Diagnostics

The disease is diagnosed so. Before we examine the blood on the erythrocytes, first assistant makes a smear on the glass, and it is determined how much of the color indicator of red blood cells present. If the CPU below the norm (0.8), microcytic anemia diagnosed.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis

Hypochromia in the general analysis of blood - the most important indicator of blood tests due to his estimate on the level where the hemoglobin. However, if anemia is present, consider also other indicators, such as qualitative and quantitative changes in the circulatory system.

In order to determine the morphological analysis is required:

• investigate smear;
• find out the size of red blood cells;
• eye see how much saturated red blood cell hemoglobin.

cell size, as an important indicator

Dimensions cells are also counted during the blood analysis. These include:

• normal erythrocytes (8 microns) - a normocytes;
• erythrocytes diameter, which reaches higher than 8 microns - this macrocytes;
• erythrocytes diameter, which is lower than usual size 7 microns - this microcytosis.

When hypochromia not associated with abnormalities?

Hypochromia can not be associated with abnormalities only in the case when a person eats the wrong way. For example, eating too many sweet and useless products, which in turn leads to lower iron levels in the blood, which is confirmed with an overall analysis of blood. In this case, the adjustment will then only diet.

While maintaining a proper diet for a long period can lead to normal component of hemoglobin.

Otherwise, if the run begins anemia will suffer bodies such as:

• heart;
• spleen;
• vessels;
• kidney;
• gastrointestinal;
• liver;
• brain.
