In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Microcytic Anemia, discussing key conditions such as Iron Deficiency Anemia, Anemia of Chronic Disease, Beta Thalassemia Major, and Sideroblastic Anemia. We’ll explore the underlying mechanisms of these anemias, including disruptions in hemoglobin synthesis and iron metabolism, as well as their clinical presentations and complications. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, including laboratory evaluation and imaging, as well as the treatment strategies for each type of microcytic anemia.
