THE SYMPTOMS OF ANEMIA IN CHRONIC HEPATIT IS OR HEPATOCIRRHOSIS

Regularities in the development of anemia in patients with chronic hep atitis or hepatocirrhosis were studied with regard to the pattern and stage of the affection of the liver. The impact of inefficient erythro poiesis on anemia development in patients with chronic diffuse disease s of the liver was demonstrated. Reasons of the red cells imperfection that caused their rapid hemolysis were indicated. In the bone marrow of chronically ill patients there were lower levels of early precursor s of erythropoiesis with their proliferative activity reduced. On the basis of the data obtained the authors gave practical recommendations for anemia treatment.
