Description:
Today on MedNet21, we're going to discuss Evaluation of the Inpatient With Anemia.

The purpose of this CME is to provide physicians with the knowledge needed to appropriately
evaluate and manage a patient with anemia. At the end of the course, physicians should be able to identify the type of anemia based on basic labs, narrow their differential diagnosis and order pertinent tests to confirm the etiology of anemia. Finally, they should be able to identify the treatment for the most common types of anemia encountered in the hospital.

Objective(s):
As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to: Classify anemias according to their reticulocyte count and mean corpuscular volume; and determine the appropriate diagnostic workup required to identify the cause of anemia. You’ll also learn about the following:
• The most common causes of anemia in inpatients
• The initial approach in the evaluation of anemia
• Interpretation of ferritin in the setting of inflammatory diseases
• Causes of iron malabsorption
• When to do a bone marrow biopsy
• Management of iron deficiency from heavy menstrual periods
• Time to resolution of anemia after starting appropriate treatment

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
