Objectives: To document the frequency of anemia in all patients specifically women who reported to veterinary pathology lab in Fortis hospital in Kalyan city and to find the frequency of various grades of anemia in male and female patients. Methodology: This hospital based study was conducted in veterinary pathology lab in Fortis hospital in Kalyan city. A total of 4834 ?full blood count? reports of 3022 male patients and 1812 female patients were reviewed for this study which were performed from 1st September 2016 to 30th November 2016. Haemoglobin level < 13 mg/dL for males and < 12 mg/dL for females was considered as anemic. Results: Out of total 4834 patients, 62.20% (n = 3007) were found to be anemic while 37.80% (n = 1827) patients had normal haemoglobin levels. There were 1712 (56.65%) male and 1295 (71.47%) female which were found to be anemic. Moderate anemia and severe anemia were more common in female patients as compared to male patients (34.83% Vs. 30.26%) and (9.80% Vs. 8.99%) respectively while mild anemia were more common in male patients (60.75%) than female patients (55.37%). Agewise distribution of anemic patients was also given in this research paper. Conclusion: Percentage of anemia was high in female patients compared to male patients reported to veterinary pathology lab in Fortis hospital in Kalyan city.
