Anaemia
Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or their oxygen-carrying capacity is insufficient to meet physiologic needs, which vary by age, sex, altitude, smoking, and pregnancy status. (WHO 2014)
Anaemia is a “Silent killer”. WHO criteria :
› Hb less than12 g/dL in females and less than 13g/dL in males
Anaemia
Globally, anaemia affects 1.62 billion people, which corresponds to 24.8% of the population.
In India, anaemia affects an estimated 50% of the population.
20%-40% of maternal deaths in India are due to anaemia
One in every two Indian women (56%) suffers from some form of anaemia.
!!!!
Anemia is rarely a disease by itself, It is mostly a manifestation or
consequence of an underlying (genetic or acquired) disease.
The finding of anemia has to start attempts to disclose an underlying disease . › What is the cause of anemia ?
Classification of Anaemia
Defective production of red cells:› Deficiency of iron, vitamin B12 or folate;
› Anaemia of chronic disorders; inflammatory, infectious, or malignant disease of a long-standing nature
› Reduced erythropoietin production—chronic kidney disease;
› Primary diseases of the bone marrow. Haemolytic anaemia
› Genetic—including membrane defects, haemoglobin disorders, and enzyme deficiencies;
› Acquired—including autoimmune and non-immune disorders.

CBC Report:
COMMON CAUSE OF ANAEMIA IN INDIA
Nutritional Anaemia (commonest)› Decreased iron intake : low dietary
intake, poor iron (less than 20 mg /day) and folic acid intake (less than 70 micrograms/day)
› Decreased absorption: poor bio-availability of iron (3-4 percent only) in phytate fibre-rich Indian diet
› Increased requirement: Pregnancy; Lactating Mothers; Children – 1 to 11 years
› Increased iron loss: PPH, Menstrual abnormalities, Malaria, Hookworm

IRON
Sources: Liver, Fish, Dry fruits, Jaggery, Spinach, Banana, Meat.
PHARMACOKINETICS› Haemoglobin, Myoglobin, Respiratory
Enzymes, Cytochrome› Dietary Iron is in Ferric Form› HCl in stomach reduces Ferric to Ferrous
iron› Absorption of Iron takes place in
Duodenum and upper jejunum.
Factors Affecting Iron Absorption
Acidic pH, Ascorbic Acid(Vit-C), Cysteine Reduces Ferric[Fe3+] to Ferrous[Fe2+]
Phosphates, Oxalates, Phytates Milk, Antacid, Tetracyclines (Forms
Insoluble complexes)
Sites of absorption of iron and vitamin B12.
Dietary iron is in Ferric Form.
Reduced to Ferrous form to be absorbed.
IF secretion
Tiredness Fatigability Headache Body ache Failure to thrive in
infants Perverted appetite
Smooth tongue Angular stomatitis Koilonychia Splenomegaly Plummer-Vinson or
Paterson-Kelly syndrome
Symptoms

Clinical Presentation Of Iron Deficiency Anaemia
HAEMATINICS
IRON B12
Folic Acid
Therapeutic uses of Iron
During Pregnancy Due to blood loss Due to nutritional iron deficiency Due to poor absorption of iron from the
gut.
PHARMACOTHERAPY OF IDA ORAL
› Ferrous sulfate (20%)› Ferrous
Gluconate(12%)› Ferrous Fumerate
(33%)› Colloidal Ferric
Hydroxide (50%)› Carbonyl iron› Ferrous succinate› Ferric ammonium
citrate
PARENTERAL› Iron dextran› Iron sorbitol citric
acid› Ferrous sucrose› Ferric carboxy
maltose
Oral iron preparations The most common iron salt used for oral
administration is ferrous sulfate, Ferrous fumarate and gluconate have less
gastrointestinal side effects and are readily absorbed than ferrous sulfate.
Ferrous succinate is more completely absorbed, but is more expensive and has no advantage over ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulfate
Ferrous calcium citrate has very low iron content and does not supply adequate elemental iron unless several tablets are taken which is inconvenient for the patient.
Colloidal ferric hydroxide has high elemental iron(52.26%).Better absorption and less gastric irritation
DRAWBACKS OF ORAL IRON PREPARATIONS
19
Epigastric pain Heart burn Nausea Staining of teeth Bloating
Metallic taste Intestinal colic Constipation Vomiting
The total dose of Parenteral iron is calculated by the formula:
IRON Required(mg)=
4.4 x Body weight(kg) x [Target Hb-Patient’s Hb deficit](g/dl)
Intramuscular Therapy
Dose- 100mg daily or alternative day up to 2gm.
Deep IM into the buttock using ‘Z-track’ technique.
To prevent staining of skin.
Intravenous therapy
Iron dextran complex- diluted in 500ml of NS and infused over 1-2hrs after administering a test dose.
Sodium ferric gluconate Iron sucrose
Adverse effects- painful, discolouration, nausea, vomitting, athralgia, rashes, anaphylactic reactions.
ERYTHROPOEITIN MW- 34,000 Sialoglycoprotein Erythropoietins are called epoetins (EPO). There are four different types of epoetin:
Epoetin alfa Epoetin beta Epoetin zeta Epoetin theta
Darbepoetin alfa is hyperglcosylated modified epoetin.
Indicated in CKD patients with anaemia.
Maturation Factors
Vitamin B12
Folic Acid
Essential for DNA synthesis Deficiency causes megaloblastic
anaemia.
Vitamin B12
Synthesized by colonic bacteria Present in meat, liver, egg, fish. Required for Haemopoiesis and for
maintenance of myelin.
PHARMACOKINETICS:STOMACH
• Vitamin B12 Complexes with Intrinsic Factor (IF)
ILEUM • Binds to specific receptors• Vit B12 gets absorbed into blood
BLOOD •Transported to various cells of body
• Excess B12 gets stored in Liver.
• Excreted in Bile & undergoes entero-hepatic circulation.
Preparations, Indications and Uses:
Cyanocobalamin, Hydroxycobalamin, Methylcobalamin.
B12 Deficiency states: Megaloblastic anaemia, Degenerative changes in spinal cord, Peripheral Neuropathy.
Pernicious anaemia ( Parietal cells destruction)
I.M or S.C Dose- 1000mcg Once a week x6 then
every month
FOLIC ACID
Abundant in Fresh green leafy vegetables, liver, fruits.
Requirement increases in Pregnancy and Lactation.
FOLATE DEFICIENCY:› Dietary def; Decreased absorption;
Diminished hepatic storage; Increased demand; Drug Induced(Methotrexate).
Pharmacokinetics of F.A
Folic acid Tetrahydrofolate
Manifestations of F.A deficiency and uses of F.A preparations.
