Retinal manifestations in anaemia - a clinical study
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Anaemia is a condition where there is decreased hemoglobin concentration or decreased RBC count. Fundus lesions can be the accompanying feature in many haematological diseases. In cases of anaemia, the exact mechanism leading to fundus abnormalities is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to calculate the prevalence of fundus lesions in anaemic patients and define the risk factors for retinopathy. This cross-sectional observational study involved fundus evaluation of 115 patients with anaemia. The prime aim was to study the prevalence of fundus findings in anaemia and the relation of retinal manifestations with severity of anaemia. The studied variables were age, gender, hemoglobin levels, red blood cell count (RBC),mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet counts, mean platelet volume (MPV).
