Hemoglobin 58 refers to a hemoglobin concentration of 58 g/L; erythrocyte 1.7 refers to a red blood cell value of 1.7 x 10^12/L.
In the elderly, hemoglobin 58g/L and red blood cells 1.7 x 10^12/L are low. The most common diseases of anemia in the elderly are: myelodysplastic syndrome, aplastic anemia, nutritional anemia (e.g., iron deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia), and hemolytic anemia.
If nutritional anemia is confirmed by examination, hemorrhoids and peptic ulcer bleeding are excluded, gastrointestinal tumors should be alerted, and gastroenteroscopy should be done if necessary. In addition, bone marrow aspiration should be considered for cytology and biopsy to rule out myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia.
Myelodysplastic syndromes are clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells with pathological hematopoiesis of the bone marrow and decreased peripheral blood hematopoiesis.
Aplastic anemia is a group of syndromes in which there is a reduction in the hematopoietic group of the bone marrow and hematopoietic failure, resulting in a decrease in peripheral blood whole blood cells. Clinically, it often presents with severe anemia, bleeding, and infection. It can be manifested as symptoms of low hemoglobin and red blood cells in the elderly.
Causing the elderly hemoglobin 58g / L, red blood cells 1.7 × 10 ^ 12 / L, there may be other reasons, it is recommended that the patient should consult the doctor in a timely manner, as soon as possible to determine the cause of the disease and treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
