BLOOD COMPONENTS
PLASMA
Liquid part of blood
Contains proteins essential for
immune response &blood clotting
FORMED ELEMENTS OF THE BLOOD
LEUKOCYTES (WBCS): Part of the
immune system
ERYTHROCYTES (RBCS): Carry oxygen
to the tissues and remove carbon
dioxide
FACTORS ESSENTIAL FOR
ERYTHROPOESIS
ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF IRON
Form hemoglobin –for oxygen
MINUTE AMOUNTS OF VIT.B12 &
FOLIC ACID
ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID &
CARBOHYDRATE
To complete the hemoglobin rings,
cell membrane, and basic
structure
ANEMIA
↓ Concentration Of haemoglobin in
blood
Symptoms of fatigue, pallor,
dizziness, exertional dyspnea (∵of
tissue hypoxia)
Cardiovascular adaptations to
chronic anemia—tachycardia,
increased cardiac output,
vasodilation
TYPES OF ANEMIA
IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA
Deficiency of iron
Hypochromic, microcytic anaemia
(small red cells with low Hb)
MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA
Deficiency of folic acid /vitamin B12
Macrocytic anaemia (large
R.B.C,↓Number)
PERNICIOUS ANEMIA
No intrinsic factor :vitamin b12 not
IRON DEFICENCY
ANEMIA
Deficient synthesis of Hb Due to lack
of iron
HYPOCHROMIC MICROCYTIC ANEMIA
In adults most common cause : blood
loss(menses,labour)
IRON ABSORPTION
Animal foods iron is better absrbed
Iron is absorbed from brush border of
upper part of small Intestine
FACTORS AFFECTING IRON ABSORPTION
Only ferrous form absorbed (ferric
converted to ferrous form by acids)
↑ ABSORBTION: Acids, reducing agents
(vit.C, succinate), meat, Fe Deficiency
↓ABSORBTION :Alkalies, antacids,
phosphorus, phytates, tetracyclines
surgeries (partial gastrectomy,
infectious diseases, malabsorption
syndrome
IRON DISTRIBUTION
TRANSPORT
Bound to transferrin: β-
globulin
STORAGE
Complexed with
apoferritin (AF) and
stored as ferritin in
R.E.Cells, bone
Marrow Hepatocytes
As heme-in Hb of
RBC, myglobin &
cytoch. Oxidase
enzymes
IRON ELIMINATION
Exfoliation of intestinal
mucosal cells
Trace amounts are excreted in
bile, urine, and sweat.
Total loss of iron is 1 mg/day
IRON PREPARATIONS
ORAL PREPARATIONS
Ferrous fumarate (elemental Fe 66 mg
Ferrous gluconate (elemntl Fe 36mg)
Ferrous sulfate (elemental Fe 65 mg)
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Nausea, vomiting, staining teeth,
Metallic taste, heart burn,
Constipation (astringent effect)
Diarrhea (irritant effect)
IRON PREPARATIONS
PARENTERAL PREPARATIONS
20 – 40 mL Iron dextran deep
I.M/I.V.
Iron sorbitol citric acid complex
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Pain, pigmentation skin, sterile
abcess
Fever, headache, Palpitation, chest
MEGALOBLASTIC
ANEMIA
Deficient synthesis of Hb Due to
• Lack of Vit B12
• Folic acid
• Both
Macrocytic anemia+ leukopenia or
thrombocytopenia or both
Hypercellular bone Marrow With ↑
megaloblastic erythroid & other
precursor cells.
VITAMIN B12
Available as cyanocobalamin
hydroxycobalamin.
Source: microbial synthesis
Not synthesized By plants or
animals
Chief dietary source is
microbially derived Vitamin B12
in meat (liver), eggs, dairy
products and legumes.
VIT.B12:PHARMACOKINETI
Vit B12+intrinsic CS
Factor
(Stomach parietal
cell R. On distal
ileum
Active absorption
Transport in
blood:
transcobalamin II
Stored in liver
Trace amount
R:GASTRIC BINDING lost
PROTEIN,
Cbl: COBALOMIN, IF;INTRINSIC FACTOR,TCII:TRANSCOBALOMIN II
VITAMIN B12
DEFICIENCY
SYMPTOMS OF DEFICIENCY
Megaloblastic anemia
Neurologic syndrome :paresthesias
spasticity, ataxia,neuritis
TREATMENT
Vitamin B12:I.M Injection given life
long
ADVERSE EFFECTS:
Hypokalemia and hypersensitivity
FOLIC ACID
(PTEROYLGLUTAMIC
ACID)
Richest source is yeast, liver kidney
and green vegetables.
Involved in DNA synthesis
SYMPTOMS OF DEFICIENCY
Megaloblastic anemia
Glossitis, diarrhea, weight Loss,
debility
TREATMENT:Folic acid 1 mG/Day
OTHER USES: Prevention of fetal
APLASTIC &HEMOLYTIC
ANEMIA
APASTIC ANEMIA
• Due to drugs: total lack of all hemopoetic
cells
• Stop the drug involved in aplastic anemia
HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA
• Due to genetic problems
Rx FOR BOTH ANEMIAS
• Blood transfusion
• Corticosteroids
• May use iron, Vitamin B12 & folic acid
