AB LEARNING  OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter  you  should:Understand  how  anemia  impacts  oxygen  transport  and  the  ways  in  which  anemic  patients  compensate  for  decreased  oxygen-carrying  capacity.Develop  a  coherent  approach  to  the  clinical  and  laboratory  evaluation  of  patients  with  anemia.Understand  and  use  classification  of  anemia  based  on  production  versus  destruction  and  on  red  cell  size  (mean  cell  volume).Be  able  to  explain  the  phenomenon  of  ineffective  erythropoiesis—its  diagnosis  and  role  in  pathogenesis.Understand  the  process  by  which  red  cells  are  broken  down,  the  catabolism  of  heme  in  macrophages,  and  the  transport  of  bilirubin  in  the  plasma  and  its  conjugation  in  the  liver.
