Question
My child, who is 1.5 years old, has shown mild anemia in all three blood routine checks at six months, one year, and one and a half years old, with hemoglobin levels of 118, 102, and 114 respectively. Accompanied by HCT, MCV, and MCH all being below the normal lower limits, the actual values are as follows: HCT: 31~35 (standard 36-56) MCV: 73~80 (standard 80-100) - mine is between 75-85. MCH: 24~27 (standard 27-32) I am the father of the child, 30 years old. In 2011, I was found to have abnormal red blood cells and have been treated by doctors like Hao Yushu, Xiao Zhijian, and Bai Jie. I underwent two bone marrow biopsies and was basically diagnosed with the early stage of polycythemia, accompanied by splenomegaly.
Answer
Infantile microcytic hypochromic anemia is most likely due to iron deficiency anemia, as the ferritin level was previously low. Currently, the anemia is not severe; enhancing nutrition and food supplementation can suffice. There are many causes for pediatric blood diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric blood disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression (cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression), and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a reasonable diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
