Patient's question:
A child who is 1.5 years old has had mild anemia in three blood tests at six months, one year, and 1.5 years, with hemoglobin levels of 118, 102, and 114, respectively. Accompanied by HCT, MCV, and MCH all below the lower limit of normal values, the measured values are:HCT: 31~35 (Standard: 36-56)
MCV: 73~80 (Standard: 80-100; my value is between 75-85)
MCH: 24~27 (Standard: 27-32)
I am the father of the child, aged 30. In 2011, red blood cell abnormalities were discovered, and the child has been treated by Hao Yushu, Xiao Zhijian, and Bai Jie, undergoing two bone marrow biopsies, which basically confirmed the diagnosis of pre-erythroid leukemia with splenomegaly.
Doctor's answer:
The small cell hypochromic anemia in infants and young children is most likely to be iron deficiency anemia, and ferritin has been found to be low. Currently, the anemia is not severe, and it can be improved by enhancing nutrition and dietary supplements.
