Clinical and Hematological Evaluation of Anemias in Geriatric Age Group
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Anemia in the geriatric population is a very widespread trouble. It can be associated with mortality in spite of the core health condition. It is more important to find the cause and type of anemia for treatment and prevention purpose. Despite the high prevalence of anemia in the elderly and the increasing size of geriatric population, very few studies have examined the effects of anemia in elderly patients especially in India. Hence, our aim is to study the clinico-hematological patterns of anemia in the elderly and to detect the morphological types of anemia prevalent among the elderly in the age group of 60 years to 90 years. The present study is aimed at a detailed clinic-pathological evaluation of anemia in the geriatric population in the Department of Pathology, SVS Medical College & Hospital, and Mahabubnagar during the period of two years between October 2014 to September 2016.
