Anemia, which is decrease the concentration of hemoglobin, hematocrit, or the number of erythrocytes below normal value, which is below the level of standard. Taking into account the most frequently used parameter, ie the concentration of hemoglobin, anemia (anemia) recognizes the value of that at concentrations below 13.5 g / dl (grams per deciliter) in men and below 12.0 g / dl in women.
Erythrocyte, or red hemocyte main task is to move erythrocyte oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is possible due to the presence of the red pigment hemoglobin. A healthy young man is about 5.4 mln/mm3 erythrocytes in peripheral blood, a woman about 4.5 mln/mm3. The anemia is said to number at less than 4.3 mln/mm3 for men and 3.9 for women mln/mm3.
Hemoglobin: a red dye in the blood erythrocytes and make atomom iron in hemoglobinie it has the ability to non-binding oxygen. Necessary to build hemoglobin is iron.
Hematocrit: the ratio of the volume of red blood cells to whole blood volume. Blood contains red cells in addition to other cells (platelets - responsible for the coagulation, white blood cells - responsible for the resistance) and plasma. Plasma consists primarily of water, transports electrolytes, protein, nutrients, products of metabolism, is capable of clotting. Valid hematocrit for men is 37 - 47% and for men 42 - 52%.
Children have different standards, depending on the age of the child.
