AB  - According  to  the  World  Health  Organization  (WHO),  anemia  is  defined  as  a  hemoglobin  concentration  of  less  than  13  g/dL  in  men  and  less  than  12  g/dL  in  women.  Anemia  is  common  among  hospitalized  patients.  In  this  chapter,  we  focus  on  the  evaluation  of  acute  presentations  of  anemia  in  hospitalized  patients,  outlining  a  practical  approach  for  assessment  with  emphasis  on  differentiating  common  disorders  from  rare  potentially  life-threatening  conditions.  We  also  provide  case  vignettes  to  illustrate  typical  presentations  of  anemia  encountered  in  this  setting.
