Question
What Are the Symptoms of Pediatric Anemia?
Answer
Since the technology for measuring the total red blood cell count in the entire body circulation is relatively complex, clinically, it is generally referred to as a low concentration of hemoglobin in peripheral blood that is below the normal standard for patients of the same age, gender, and region. The normal standards in China are slightly lower than those abroad. In coastal and plain areas, if the hemoglobin level in adult males is below 12.5g/dl and in adult females is below 11.0g/dl, it can be considered anemia. For children under 12 years old, the normal hemoglobin level is approximately 15% lower than that of adult males, with no significant difference between boys and girls. In high-altitude areas, the normal level is generally higher.
