Ms A. seems to be having the most common type of Anemia which is iron deficiency Anemia. This type of anemia is normally caused by unending blood loss brought about by extreme menstruation. Iron deficiency takes place when the level of use or loss of iron is more than its level of use and absorption. The most general symptoms of unceasing anemia include weakness, tiredness, a fast heartbeat, and shortness of breath.
Before diagnosing Ms A., it is important to undertake a complete blood count for purposes of measuring numerous parts of the blood. The test evaluates ones hematocrit and hemoglobin levels. Hematocric is an evaluation of how much gap red-blood-cells take up in one's blood. Hemoglobin on the other hand is an iron-rich protein present in red-blood-cells that conveys blood to the body (Short, Domagalski J. D., & Madigan, 2013). A low level of hematocrit and hemoglobin is a sign of anemia. The normal hemoglobin levels are between 12 and 16gm/dl. Ms. A.'s levels are 8gm/dl and this is an indication of low and abnormal rate of hemoglobin. The normal rate of Hematocrit is between 38% and 46% while the level of Hematocrit in Ms A.'s blood is 32%. The reference range for Erythrocyte count is 4.10-5.10 x1012/L whereas Ms A.'s rate is 3.1 x 10/mm. The blood test shows that Ms A.'s blood levels are below normal levels and this is associated with iron deficiency anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia is weakened red blood cell fabrication because of low iron stocks in the body. It is the most universal nutritional condition globally and accounts for about ½ of anemia cases. Acknowledging the fundamental etiology and administering the right therapy are keys to the management and evaluation of this condition (Short, Domagalski J. D., & Madigan, 2013).
