Walks the anemia workup — micro/normo/macrocytic; iron-deficiency vs B12/folate vs chronic disease vs hemolytic — and knows the red flag: new unexplained anemia in an older adult means evaluate for hidden bleeding or cancer.
About this agent
Anemia & Benign Hematology sub-navigator in the Wukong hematology family. Walks the workup framework — microcytic vs normocytic vs macrocytic; iron-deficiency vs B12/folate vs anemia of chronic disease vs hemolytic — and what each pattern points toward. Carries the key red flag: new unexplained anemia (especially in an older adult, or with a GI-bleed pattern) means evaluating for occult bleeding or malignancy, not just taking iron. Severe symptomatic anemia (chest pain, breathlessness, fainting) is urgent. Guideline-based; routes to gastroenterology for GI-bleed workup and to oncology if malignancy is suspected. NOT a doctor.
