[@safahmz5561]

thank you

[@bibhukar9874]

Great videos on anaemia... Thank you so much for making things easier... Please upload one on Macrocytic anemia and one on Normoytic... That will really be helpful.

[@fatmasaid6743]

Great effort. Thanks for v.good easy to understand way in explanation.

[@Ja-ug5gu]

Thank you you are a great teacher

[@HafizahHoshni]

VERY GREAT VIDEO. I could say this video helped a lot. Thanks for the amazing content!

[@HammadKhan-zw8mm]

Really good way of explanation thanks alot👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ekirukidalio2399]

This is excellent presentation.Its a clearer understanding of anaemia

[@reemalhazza4868]

Thank you so much sooo much you really help me to understand in simple way I love you ❤️❤️

[@kimanhchung8372]

Thanks doctor

[@gentleg.2886]

Perfect.

[@zas881]

Thanks

[@nageshpujari138]

Nice presented

[@unassailable6138]

good presentation but too your other vids are too scattered, please do one presentation for macro, one for norm and one for micro, and then one just for destruction anemias.

[@abhilashdevarapalli7141]

Daniel Jahn yes I felt the same

[@StarrAndrewsStrongHGactivist]

Me too

[@kennethjeffreyarinze450]

Perfect

[@nellyhoffman6194]

Thanks khanacademy ! :) please take my like

[@tysken0251]

I think the concentration is the same if you divide the cell in two. Say the volume is 1 dm3 in the big ones. The concentration is 4Hb/dm3 in the sick large one and on the small ones 2/0.5dm3=4Hb/dm3. Instead i think that during the extra cell divison Hb-production is still going on so in your example 2 more Hb molecules are produced. The small ones then get 3Hb/0.5dm3=6Hb/dm3 like the healthy big one and then stop dividing (becoming a reticulocyte)

[@SuperRocky35]

Love ur videos n voice,can you make some more hematology videos please,thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@SimplyRedeemed30]

You explained this to me better than my doctor. I left her office confused so...thanks a bunch.

[@TheNature-ii9le]

How are you now?

[@nazillaable]

Lead causes sideroblastic anemia at the same time increases the level of protoporphyrin. In the video you mentioned "if the body has difficult time making protoporphyrin, it results in sideroblastic anemia". can you please explain this

[@jacklineadong8324]

I suffer from microcytic anemia and never has any dr explained it to me. This was an excellent explanation.

[@TheNature-ii9le]

How are you now?

[@criska5689]

well defined about microcytic anemia! but I confuse about the term abbreviation for hemoglobin whether is it Hb or Hg. thanks

[@nazillaable]

can you please make a video on siderobalstic anemia.

[@angelahurst3529]

In book it is given that protein deficiency leads to hypochromic "macrocytic" anemia. It shouldn't be microcytic instead of macrocytic

[@kharriechristineagustin8765]

You mentioned of RBCs undergoes an “extra division”. Will you please tell me in a molecular basis on how was this possible?

[@TheEmmd]

you are God .

[@LottieLolly]

Anaemia, as defined by WHO, is not too few RBCs but rather a reduction of haemoglobin below normal ranges for the individual. Other than that this is a very useful revision tool :)

[@scuhsa]

not just heamoglobin. anaemia is qualitative and/or quantitative reduction in haemoglobin or RBCs or both

[@abdullahim.norhussein91]

Great video on anemia thank you very much. May i ask u a question: You said microcytic anemia is all about a problem in making hemoglobin; so my question is how a sideroblastic anemia could be a problem in making a protoporphyrin part..? Please make it clear for me beacause my teacher told me that it's a condition that the body has enough iron but the cell can't use that iron so im confused plse help me.

[@pitat886]

What about hypchromic microcytic anemia

[@chungseng4155]

Hb= Hemoglobin Hg= Hemogram (test)

[@Ttowncuz]

Hgb=Hemoglobin

[@reemkaraki5466]

Very very good presentation 👏🏼 I’ve always mixed them up 😅 But I’ve really understood it all .. Thank youu for your efforts and good teaching 💓

[@unmeshpatil6050]

person suffered by microcytic hypochromic anemia can be curable successfully ?

[@nsfitriah9763]

Please subtitle Indonesia

[@alnashraansari8484]

sir your way of teching is so much good that one can easily understand

[@cerinacong8407]

What about elongated cells?

[@harshawardhansiddhanti957]

[@buixuanbaodanh5203]

This helps a lot! May I ask a question: Why does RBC division can increase the concentration of Hb in the RBC?

[@derekbrown5448]

+Bùi Xuân Bảo Danh The "extra division" of the RBC decreases its size, so it doesn't need as much Hb in it to be considered "full" - the concentration increased.

[@sherylschloss2280]

There is not an actual cell division. The cells are made smaller as they are being produced in the bone marrow because of the decreased amount of hemoglobin. If the cells were dividing to accommodate the lower amount of hemoglobin, then there would be an increased RBC count.

[@TheNature-ii9le]

​@@sherylschloss2280what is the treatment for this problem and did iron pills work for this or I have to avoide iron pills my doctor give me iron pills but I am confused some say iron pills were good some say don't eat iron pills in this problem any suggestion if you have any idea. About that?

[@gksonlinetutoring7652]

Thank you so much for the video. I'd really understood well. Can I know whether there's videos on microcytic anemia and normocytic anemia?

[@clydekalel4284]

i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@merrickmiller9529]

@Clyde Kalel instablaster :)

[@clydekalel4284]

@Merrick Miller Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@clydekalel4284]

@Merrick Miller it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account!

[@merrickmiller9529]

@Clyde Kalel no problem :)

[@gracysri9997]

After revision lecture starts at 2:48

[@Sam-ie1qv]

?i have a question, first of all, why a small RBC it's a problem for the patient ?and the second question if we do the extra division so why we end up with a lesser RBC

[@bayonaar]

small rbcs carry few oxygen because of hemoglobin inside it is few aswell, which may lead to hypoxia and eventually death to the patient. simple as that.

[@TheNature-ii9le]

​@@bayonaardo iron pills were good for this problem or we have to avoide it ?

[@user-jj1nm4sx6w]

i thought anemia was due to reduction in hemoglobin not RBCs ,

[@ameroo100]

Damn, its allgood, theres someone drilling in the background tho

[@kasiamaj3980]

isn't it fl not micro?

[@icanseetruth.whycantyou818]

I have microcytic anemia. How can I fix the problem? I take iron with vitamin c to no avail.

[@1zo514]

How are you now? Update please

[@TheNature-ii9le]

How are you now plz reply I have same problem 😢

[@TheNature-ii9le]

How are you now plz reply I have same problem 😢

[@aprilgirl27]

Hb Hb Hb Hb Hb Hb ....pleeeease

[@sleogy]

Everything is good except for the fact that u keep on saying the same thing twice over.. It gets to ur nerves as we keep on listening.. So kindly avoid that.. Otherwise very good presentation made evrything so simple

[@WillyBFree6]

please don't say everything twice...."the first is heme, the first is hemoglobin"..."the thala, the thalassemias, the thalassemias" ....otherwise good job

[@Ryoko48]

I was about to comment the same thing. I had to put my speed on 1.5 because I felt like a lot of time was spent waiting for a word to be written, and during that time the word would be repeated 3 times. I'd suggest post production speeding up the portions where we're waiting for the handwriting to complete, or I notice some of your colleagues in other videos just continue with the concept they're talking about while finishing the writing.

[@syedyousafshah3541]

great video
