Causes vary by age. Most\u00a0children\u00a0with\u00a0anemia\u00a0are asymptomatic, and the condition is detected on screening laboratory evaluation. Screening is recommended only for high-risk\u00a0children.\u00a0Anemia\u00a0is classified as microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic, based on the mean corpuscular volume. Mild microcytic\u00a0anemia\u00a0may be treated presumptively with oral iron therapy in\u00a0children\u00a0six to 36 months of age who have risk factors for iron deficiency\u00a0anemia. If the\u00a0anemia\u00a0is severe or is unresponsive to iron therapy, the patient should be evaluated for gastrointestinal blood loss. Other tests used in the evaluation of microcytic\u00a0anemia\u00a0include serum iron studies, lead levels, and hemoglobin electrophoresis. Normocytic\u00a0anemia\u00a0may be caused by chronic disease, hemolysis, or bone marrow disorders. Workup of normocytic\u00a0anemia\u00a0is based on bone marrow function as determined by the reticulocyte count. If the reticulocyte count is elevated, the patient should be evaluated for blood loss or hemolysis. A low reticulocyte count suggests aplasia or a bone marrow disorder. Common tests used in the evaluation of macrocytic anemias include vitamin B12 and folate levels, and thyroid function testing. A peripheral smear can provide additional information in patients with\u00a0anemia\u00a0of any morphology.<\/p>\n<p>[\/cmsmasters_text][cmsmasters_text animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>[pdf-embedder url=&#8221;https:\/\/staging.awgp.pt\/testes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Evaluation-of-anemia-in-children.pdf&#8221; title=&#8221;Evaluation of anemia in children&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/cmsmasters_text][\/cmsmasters_column][\/cmsmasters_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[cmsmasters_row data_padding_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; data_padding_top=&#8221;0&#8243; data_bg_parallax_ratio=&#8221;0.5&#8243; data_bg_size=&#8221;cover&#8221; data_bg_attachment=&#8221;scroll&#8221; data_bg_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; data_bg_position=&#8221;top center&#8221; data_color=&#8221;default&#8221; data_bot_style=&#8221;default&#8221; data_top_style=&#8221;default&#8221; data_padding_right=&#8221;3&#8243; data_padding_left=&#8221;3&#8243; data_width=&#8221;boxed&#8221;][cmsmasters_column data_width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][cmsmasters_text animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243;] Am Fam Physician.\u00a02010 Jun 15;81(12):1462-71.
