Gambaran Kadar Hemoglobin dan Nilai Indeks Eritrosit pada Anak Penderita Anemia di RSUD Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie Surabaya

Anemia pada anak masih menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan yang dapat memengaruhi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan, sehingga pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin dan indeks eritrosit diperlukan untuk membantu menggambarkan karakteristik hematologis penderita anemia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar hemoglobin dan nilai indeks eritrosit pada anak penderita anemia di RSUD Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie Surabaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 105 anak penderita anemia usia 5–12 tahun yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi, menggunakan teknik total sampling berdasarkan data rekam medis Laboratorium Klinik RSUD Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie Surabaya periode Januari–April 2026. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan disajikan dalam bentuk distribusi frekuensi serta persentase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar sampel mengalami anemia sedang sebanyak 67 anak (63,8%), diikuti anemia ringan sebanyak 37 anak (35,2%) dan anemia berat sebanyak 1 anak (1%). Berdasarkan indeks eritrosit, sebagian besar sampel memiliki nilai MCV Rendah sebanyak 99 anak (94,3%), nilai MCH rendah sebanyak 102 anak (97,1%), dan nilai MCHC rendah sebanyak 95 anak (90,5%). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa mayoritas anak penderita anemia di RSUD Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie Surabaya memiliki kadar hemoglobin kategori anemia sedang disertai gambaran indeks eritrosit berupa MCV rendah, MCH rendah, dan MCHC rendah, sehingga pemeriksaan hemoglobin dan indeks eritrosit dapat memberikan gambaran karakteristik hematologis pada anak penderita anemia.

Anemia in children remains a health problem that can affect growth and development. Hemoglobin and erythrocyte indices are needed to describe the hematological characteristics of anemia patients. This study aimed to determine the hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte indices in children with anemia at RSUD (regional public hospital) Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie Hospital, Surabaya. This study used a quantitative descriptive research design. The study sample consisted of 105 children with anemia aged 5–12 years who met the inclusion criteria. Total sampling was used based on medical records from the Clinical Laboratory of RSUD Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie, Surabaya, for the period of January–April 2026. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in the form of frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that the majority of the sample had moderate anemia (67 children (63.8%), followed by mild anemia (37 children (35.2%), and severe anemia (1%). Based on the erythrocyte indices, the majority of the sample had low MCV values (99 children (94.3%), low MCH values (102 children (97.1%), and low MCHC values (95 children (90.5%). It can be concluded that the majority of children with anemia at RSUD Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie, Surabaya, had hemoglobin levels in the moderate anemia category accompanied by erythrocyte indices such as low MCV, low MCH, and low MCHC. Therefore, hemoglobin and erythrocyte index examination can provide an overview of the hematological characteristics of children with anemia.
