Great videos on anaemia... Thank you so much for making things easier... Please upload one on Macrocytic anemia and one on Normoytic... That will really be helpful.

[Ramokhan]

this is simple, informative and everything that I need to know.Thanks

[cherlynseleky]

VERY GREAT VIDEO. I could say this video helped a lot. Thanks for the amazing content!

[SimplyRedeemed]

You explained this to me better than my doctor. I left her office confused so...thanks a bunch.

[Michel-Graillier-fanclub]

good presentation but too your other vids are too scattered, please do one presentation  for macro, one for norm and one for micro, and then one just for destruction anemias.

[HafizahHoshni]

I think the concentration is the same if you divide the cell in two. Say the volume is 1 dm3 in the big ones. The concentration is 4Hb/dm3 in the sick large one and on the small ones 2/0.5dm3=4Hb/dm3. Instead i think that during the extra cell divison Hb-production is still going on so in your example 2 more Hb molecules are produced. The small ones then get 3Hb/0.5dm3=6Hb/dm3 like the healthy big one and then stop dividing (becoming a reticulocyte)

Anaemia, as defined by WHO, is not too few RBCs but rather a reduction of haemoglobin below normal ranges for the individual. Other than that this is a very useful revision tool :)

Lead causes sideroblastic anemia at the same time increases the level of protoporphyrin. In the video you mentioned "if the body has difficult time making protoporphyrin, it results in sideroblastic anemia". can you please explain this

[angelahurst]

In book it is given that protein deficiency leads to hypochromic "macrocytic" anemia.
It shouldn't be microcytic instead of macrocytic

[SuperRocky]

Love ur videos n voice, can you make some more hematology videos

[nellyhoffman]

Thanks khanacademy ! :) please take my like

[Sam-ieqv]

?i have a question, first of all, why a small RBC it's a problem for the patient
?and the second question if we do the extra division so why we end up with a lesser RBC

[criska]

well defined about microcytic anemia! but I confuse about the term abbreviation for hemoglobin whether is it Hb or Hg. thanks
