Don't worry. Since your mother has microcytic hypochromic anemia with mild hemolysis but no thalassemia or sickle cell disease on HPLC, we need to look for other causes. I advise doing peripheral smear, reticulocyte count, LDH, bilirubin (direct/ indirect), and Coombs test to check for autoimmune or hemolytic causes. Also, repeat serum ferritin, CRP, and rule out chronic infections or blood loss. Based on the reports, we can decide if she needs bone marrow study or specific treatment. For now, continue balanced diet, iron/ folate if advised, and stay in follow-up with reports.
Next Steps
Please get these tests done next - peripheral smear, reticulocyte count, LDH, indirect bilirubin, haptoglobin, Coombs test (Direct & Indirect), ferritin & CRP. These will help find the exact cause of anemia and mild hemolysis. Once reports are ready, Send me to review it and next treatment advice
Health Tips
helpful tip will be Ensure a balanced iron-rich diet (green leafy vegetables, pulses, jaggery, dates). Keep hydration good and take medicines only as prescribed. Regular follow-up with reports is important for proper diagnosis. Word of Caution: Don't start or continue iron tablets or injections without confirming low iron levels - excess iron can be harmful if stores are already normal. Avoid self-medication; follow up once test results are available.

In stead of sitting at home and getting confused please consult a knowledgeable General Physician with all the reports. An appropriate treatment can be started. A long discussion which may be involved is not possible on Tele-consultation.

Lab values are important. Cause of Micrositic Hypochromic anemias are to be ruled out. It might be just a nutritional deficiency or there might be bigger underlying causes.

Hello, I understand your concern — anemia with mild hemolysis can indeed be confusing, especially when HPLC and iron studies are normal. Since microcytic hypochromic anemia with negative thalassemia and sickle cell results is present, we need to explore other possible causes such as: Chronic blood loss (like occult GI bleeding or heavy menstrual loss) Anemia of chronic disease (common in chronic infections or inflammation) Early iron deficiency even before serum ferritin drops Less common causes like sideroblastic anemia or enzyme defects causing mild hemolysis Further evaluation with reticulocyte count, peripheral smear review, LDH, bilirubin (direct/indirect), Coombs test, and possibly a bone marrow study may be required if routine tests are inconclusive. I can help review her reports in detail and guide you step-by-step on what to do next — including which investigations truly matter and what treatment should be started safely. You can message me directly on WhatsApp at nine three two six zero two zero five three six for a personalized discussion and clear plan for your mother’s condition.
