History and clinical manifestations have various contributions towards identifying different forms of anemia. In this regard, history provides vital information related to the specific cause of anemia (Tollenaar et al., 2016). With historical data, a clinician can identify various causes of anemia including nutritional, inherited, blood loss, blood transfusion, or association with a particular chronic disease (Tollenaar et al., 2016). On the other hand, the clinical manifestations may provide important cues to the specific type of anemia in a patient. Under this category, a health care professional can diagnose megaloblastic madness, pica, organ dysfunction and painful episodes types of anemia (Tollenaar et al., 2016). It is notable that the three manifestation conditions are associated with different causes including vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, and sick cell anemia respectively.
Based on history or cause, anemia becomes a laboratory finding that indicates a disease process rather than a disease itself (Tollenaar et al., 2016). Most of the conditions that cause anemia including blood loss and nutritional factors can be diagnosed, and proper treatment plans devised immediately. However, not all causes of anemia are treated with similar medications. With appropriate clinical symptoms, the primary disease process can be traced unlike relying on history (Tollenaar et al.

, 2016). Since the body can compensate for slowly progressing forms of anemia, it becomes hard for clinicians to identify the clinical symptoms.
In cases where patients develop sudden shortness of breath and maybe collapse, the healthcare professional can assign the condition to acute anemia (Tollenaar et al., 2016). On the other hand, the rapid development of more than 50% loss of blood can make a clinician diagnose severe cases of shock that may cause death (Tollenaar et al., 2016). Finally, history is mostly associated with instances of acute anemia whereas clinical manifestations are associated with severe cases of the disease.
