Abstract:
The anemic syndrome at the stage of primary health care delivery on an outpatient basis is a risk factor for an unfavorable outcome in patients with chronic somatic diseases, primarily cardiovascular and oncological pathologies. In order to understand the true prevalence of anemia among outpatients it is necessary to improve the registration of patients with this disease. Aim: to analyze the features of managing patients with anemia in the primary health care system using a computerized patient monitoring system. The study included 1498 patients aged 18 to 80 who were under dispensary observation by family physicians. For the analysis of the medical records, a computer program developed by the authors "Monitoring system for patients with anemic syndrome" was used. The structure of morbidity in two selected areas of the outpatient department in the context of the main classes of diseases of ICD-10 is analyzed. According to the analysis of the medical records carried out using the program developed by us, anemia was recorded in 208 patients (13.89%), while in the analysis using the computer register according to the WHO criteria, 500 people had anemic syndrome (33.38%), which indicates the underdiagnosis of this pathological condition and the need to direct the efforts of healthcare organizers to the early revealing of patients with anemia.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Structure and Function of Erythrocytes
The erythrocyte plasma membrane is associated with proteins such as spectrin, which forms a flexible cytoplasmic meshwork. This meshwork allows erythrocytes to twist, turn, become cup-shaped, and regain their biconcave shape as they pass through narrow capillaries. Additionally, erythrocytes can form...
