Abstract
It is relevant to determine the characteristic parameters of physiological anemia in young children, which does not require correction. Differential diagnosis based on these parameters will identify pathological cases of anemia that require adequate correction. Pathological variants of anemia during this period are associated both with the pathology of pregnancy and childbirth, and with diseases in the postpartum period. Then the iron deficiency state is revealed, as well as the effect on erythropoiesis of various diseases – anemia of chronic diseases – ACD, etc., requiring multidirectional correction.
Purpose of the study: to establish the features (patterns) of physiological anemia in young children in order to identify cases of pathology that “fall out” from this group.
The results of a survey of 526 patients, aged from 4 days to 8 months, who were treated and examined in departments of various profiles of the 3rd State Children’s Clinical Hospital in Minsk in 2021–2023 (in the early childhood departments and the rehabilitation department) were analyzed. The following indicators were studied: erythrocyte content, hemoglobin, color index, MCV, MCH, reticulocytes, reticulocyte hemoglobin, serum iron, serum ferritin. C-reactive protein.
