Analysis on relative indexes of anemia in tumor patients

Objective To analyze the incidence of anemia among 703 cases of various tumors and the related laboratory indexes to investigate the general rules of tumoral anemia and provide the laboratory basis for coping with tumoral anemia in clinic.Methods 703 cases of tumors including digestive tract,respiratory,reproductive systems and lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed on the incidence of anemia.Serum iron(SI) and transferrin(TF) were tested by Hitachi 7080 full automatic biochemical analyzer and parameters of red blood cell were detected by Sysmex 1800i automatic blood cell analyzer.Results Among 703 cases,hemoglobin level below 120 g/L accounted for 76.7%,most cases were 90-120 g/L.The degree of anemia was related with the disease course ated clinical stages and less correlated with tumor type,sex and age.(r0.40).The patients with abnormal iron metabolism accounted for 56%.Combined with the RBC parameters,SI and TF,56% of cases were microcytichypochromicanemia with low SI,and 35% of the cases without low SI.Conclusion The incidence rate of accompanying anemia in the tumor patients is high,which reminds doctors should actively conduct the antianemic treatment.More than half of anemic symptoms are microcytichypochromicanemia with low SI.But partial patients are not accompanied with low SI,which suggests that iron supplement should be careful.
