Abstract

This study describes results obtained from hematological test in patients with anemia due to chronic disease. The patients received treatment at Ha Noi Medical University from May 2020 to September 2021. The mean hemoglobin concentration of red blood cells and the mean hemoglobin concentration of ACD group without iron deficiency were significantly higher than that of ACD group with iron deficiency (p = 0.05). Patients with ACD mainly have mild anemia (67.2%), with moderate anemia accounted for 28.7% and severe anemia accounted for 4.1%. Anemia of normochromic red blood cells accounted for the highest percentage (62.3%); hypochromic microcytic anemia accounted for 34.4%; and severe anemia accounts for 3.3%.
