Patient's question:
Just finished the whole hemolysis test, and one item showed red blood cell osmotic fragility of 37.9, while the rest were normal. In the complete blood count, the hemoglobin concentration was 94. My family has no history of thalassemia.Hello doctor: Is this type of anemia hemolytic anemia or iron deficiency anemia? Two years ago, a thorough examination revealed severe iron deficiency. What kind of supplements should my friend take given this condition?
Doctor's answer:
A thorough examination of the hemolytic syndrome includes blood super-, increased red blood cells, decreased hemoglobin, significantly enhanced reticulocytes, and the presence of nucleated red blood cells in symptoms. Blood type, specific antibody tests, and serum bilirubin mainly show elevated unconjugated bilirubin. After the hemolytic disease is born, jaundice gradually fades, and bilirubin levels show dynamic changes. It is important to pay close attention to the patient's condition.
