    Abstract

    Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or the haemoglobin concentration within them is lower than normal. According to WHO, Anemia affects 1.62 billion people worldwide, equivalent to 24.8 percent of the population making it a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. According to India's NFHS-5 (National Family Health Survey), 57 % of women and 25 % of men age 15-49 in India are anaemic.Anemia is diagnosed using automated hematology analyzer that analyzes parameters such as Hb, RBC counts, RBC indices like MCV,MCH,MCHC,RDW and confirmed by peripheral blood smears. Platelet indices like Mean Platelet volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) and plateletcrit (PCT) are potentially useful markers for the early diagnosis of thromboembolic diseases. Both MPV and PDW are increased during platelet activation. Plateletcrit is an effective screening tool for detecting platelet quantitative abnormalities
