In order to study specific features of iron deficiency anemia in children in different mountain peaks, retrospective analysis in 1893 children from birth to 14 years were conducted. Patients with iron deficiency anemia consisted 1296 and healthy children - were 597.

The features of erythropoiesis, red blood cell in peripheral blood of healthy and anemic children of different levels of altitude residence were revealed. Tense erythropoiesis in children of middle and high mountains with latent type connected with iron deficiency in the body.

Comparative studies of peripheral blood of healthy children in low-, medium-and high altitudes have shown that with an increase in altitude increase in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin is marked, in this respect the increase of hemoglobin level falls short of increasing the number of red blood cells. Therefore, the higher area of residence led to the lower of color index. Consequently, the healthy children of middle and high mountains can be attributed to a possible risk for development of iron deficiency anemia.

Laboratory criteria of normal and pathological blood parameters in children of different heights residence are developed.

Keywords: anemia, red blood cell, hemoglobin, color index, erythropoiesis, the higmountains.
