PPT-DEFINITION OF ANEMIA Anemia may be defined as a reduction in

red blood cell mass or blood hemoglobin concentration In practice anemia most commonly is defined by reductions in one or both of the following Hematocrit HCT The HCT is the fractional volume of a whole blood sample occupied by RBCs expressed as a percentage As an example the normal HCT in a child age 6 to 12 years is approximately 40 percent. Mike Clark, M.D.. Anemia. is a decrease in the normal number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency.. Greg .

Anemia results when the rate of destruction exceeds the capacity of the marrow to produce RBCs. Normal RBC survival time is 110. Rafi Ahmed, MD. Hematology and Oncology Fellow. 4-10-14. Overview.
