2 Normocytic anemia At what time the retics count is normal

or decreased in hemolytic anemia ?• Aplastic crisis : parvo virus infection • Decrsed erythropoietin : CKD• Decreased micronutrient for erythropoiesis : decrees

iron & folate • Autoimmune hemolytic anemia when the

autoantibodies reacts with antigens that are presently on reticulocytes which increase clearance of the cells

2 Normocytic anemia • Direct : coombs reagent + patient RBCS if

agglutination (positive)• Indirect : coombs reagent + patient serum +

known RBCS if agglutination (positive)• Coombs test is negative in about 10% of

patients with AHA the patient should be treated for AIHA if the disease is strongly suspected even direct coombs is negative

Anemia • Pernicious anemia (do serum B12) • Folic acid deficiency ( Do serum folic

acid)• Aplastic anemia (bone marrow )• WBCS ,platelets may also decreased in

megaloblastic anemia (pancytopenia)• Hypersegmented neutrophils are

characterstic >3 lobes• Schilling test : help to diagnose the the

cause of B12 deffeciency
