Estimates the total iron deficit for parenteral iron replacement using the Ganzoni equation.
Written for clinicians. If you're a parent or patient, don't act on these numbers — talk to your child's doctor.
| Field | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | kg | 3–150 |
| Actual haemoglobin | g/dL | 2–18 |
| Target haemoglobin | g/dL | Often 12–13 g/dL |
Estimates the total iron deficit for parenteral iron replacement using the Ganzoni equation.
Weight (kg), Actual haemoglobin (g/dL), Target haemoglobin (g/dL).
Confirm iron-deficiency biochemically before dosing and follow the specific IV-iron product's maximum single dose and infusion-rate limits.
Discriminates thalassemia trait from iron-deficiency anemia using MCV and RBC count.
Calculates the absolute neutrophil count from the white cell count and the differential, and grades neutropenia.
Estimates circulating blood volume by age band — used for transfusion, exchange and maximum-allowable-blood-loss calculations.
Adjusts the reticulocyte percentage for the degree of anaemia and reticulocyte maturation — gauges marrow response.
Calculates the absolute eosinophil count from the WBC and differential, and grades eosinophilia.
Calculates the absolute lymphocyte count from the WBC and differential.
