Anaemia focusing on microcytic anaemia
REMTOVÁ, Eliška
The theme of my bachelor thesis is focused on the anemia, especially microcytic anemia. The introduction describes only the general facts about this disease and further focuses only on the microcytic anemia. Every single type is described in the separate theoretical part. Iron deficiency anemia or anemia caused by the lack of iron is the most common type at all. It occurs in up to one third of the population in developing and also developed countries all over the world. I describe the second most common chronic disease anemia as well and then rarer thalassemia at the end of this paper. The practical part is devoted to analyze all of the collected data. At first the results of blood counts of the patients, who were examined by the Department of Clinical Hematology at the Ceske Budejovice Inc. hospital, are evaluated. The evaluation is performed on an automated hematology analyzer Unicel DxH 800 Beckman Coulter. I had examined the frequency of an anemic and subsequently microcytic patients from a total of 7,664 tested patients. The resulting number with this anemia was 28%. I had also focused on the evaluation of iron, transferrin and ferritin parameters which are determined on the analyzer ADVIA. I gained the necessary data at the Department of Clinical Chemistry of Ceske Budejovice Inc. hospital. The most important goal was to determine how many of microcytic patients were tested for iron deficiency. The resulting number was only 18% examined patients in this way. Then I had looked up how many of these patients were subsequently examined to transferrin and ferritin. There were many patients who were completely missing the results of these tests, so it was not possible to determine the exact number. Based on all these detected parameters I could evaluate the patients, who suffered the anemia and which type they suffered. The anemia of chronic disease was the most often type and it was found in 24 patients. The iron deficiency anemia suffered only 11 of the examined patients.
