for the past 6 months. She reports she has always had heavier
menstrual cycles and that has always been her "normal". She
recently began moving towards a vegetarian diet.
What are your differentials?
What is your treatment plan?
What patient education is important here?
Ddx: Anemia - microcytic, iron-deficiency s/t menorrhagia and
vegetarian diet
Treatment plan: Increase iron rich foods, consider oral iron
supplementation (slow release iron is better tolerated)
Education: increase iron rich foods (prune juice, olives,
mulberries, fortified breakfast cereals, white beans, soy beans,
spinach, lentils); enhance absorption of iron supplementation
with Vitamin C
A patient's labs return and the MCV is 68. How do you interpret
this value?
,An MCV of < 80 indicates microcytic anemia. Types of
microcytic anemia include iron deficiency, thalassemia, anemia
of chronic disease, sideroblastic anemia, or Hgb E disease
Chronic glossitis and cheilitis may be an indicator of what type
of anemia?

microcytic anemia and the Hgb is 6 and the Hct is 28. The
patient is experiencing fatigue and weakness.
What is your treatment plan?

A patient presents to your office with severe hypotension, cold
clammy skin, and bruising on the left flank. What is your first
action?

diarrhea, black stools, upper GI discomfort

or concerns
A patient's lab results show a MCV of 123. What is your
interpretation?
Suggests overly large RBCs and is an indicator of macrocytic
anemia
A patient receives their lab results and wants to know the
interpretation of the MCV level, which is high. After you
explain macrocytic anemia to the patient, they ask you what may
be causing this type of anemia. How do you respond?
Macrocytic anemia may be caused by a lack of B12 or folate.
Sometimes this is secondary to alcoholism, a low protein diet,
pregnancy, lactation, or bariatric surgery (where part of the
stomach is removed -B12 absorbed in stomach).
