i keep wondering why peripheral circulation is important in the diagram? i can think of acute blood loss/ chronic disease states/ severe coagulopathies, but what else does it include? and where does normocytic anemia fall into in the diagram? maybe you can define what you mean by peripheral circulation? cheers!
In your video on Macrocytic anemias you said that the number of immature RBCs goes up in the bone marrow (3:28 - 3:53). Here you say it goes down... Are you talking here about serum levels?
Once again, thank you for this video, this series has been amazing. Curious question, what exactly is your job / what do you study? your videos span many topics it's hard to pinpoint haha
I dont understand, does Thalassemia cause an increase or a decrease in the reticulocytes? Because in the video, we see that it is both a micro anemia and a hemolytic anemia???????
If we talk about thalassemia major, it causes an increase in reticulocyte count. However this increase is *mild* and not proportional to the severity of anemia. There's drive for increasing the reticulocytes but the machinery is defective i.e, the precipitated α chains hinder erythropoiesis.
Superlative collection of videos. A must-see for medical students and junior doctors.

omgg. thank you soo much. i understood more in 2 hours than in a complete whole semester.
Your anemia videos are comprehensive and excellent! Thank you :D. I am in medical school now and am watching these as a good review.

daf189 one thing don't understand you said thalassemia is causing heamolysis? am I correct?
thanx
Thankss
You can have anemia with a normal RBC count
