  2. Erythropoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoiesis

    By the third or fourth month, erythropoiesis moves to the liver. [3] After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. Increased levels of physical activity can cause an increase in erythropoiesis. [4] However, in humans with certain diseases and in some animals, erythropoiesis also occurs outside the bone marrow, within the spleen ...

  3. Erythropoietin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoietin

    Erythropoietin is an essential hormone for red blood cell production. Without it, definitive erythropoiesis does not take place. Under hypoxic conditions, the kidney will produce and secrete erythropoietin to increase the production of red blood cells by targeting CFU-E, proerythroblast and

  4. Haematopoietic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoietic_system

    The number of reticulocytes, immature red blood cells, gives an estimate of the rate of erythropoiesis. Lymphocytes are the cornerstone of the adaptive immune system. They are derived from common lymphoid progenitors. The lymphoid lineage is composed of T-cells, B-cells and natural killer cells. This is lymphopoiesis.

  5. Ineffective erythropoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ineffective_erythropoiesis

    Ineffective erythropoiesis is defined by the expansion of early-stage erythroid precursors driven by erythropoietin, accompanied by the apoptosis of late-stage precursors. . This mechanism is principally responsible for the anemia seen in acquired conditions such as certain subtypes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and inherited disorders such as β-thalassemia, inherited sideroblastic ...

  6. Polycythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycythemia

    It can describe an increase in the number of red blood cells [1] ("absolute polycythemia") or to a decrease in the volume of plasma ("relative polycythemia"). [2] Absolute polycythemia can be due to genetic mutations in the bone marrow ("primary polycythemia"), physiologic adaptations to one's environment, medications, and/or other health ...

  7. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    The body can absorb up to 6 mg iron daily from the gastrointestinal tract. In many cases, the patient has a deficit of over 1,000 mg of iron which would require several months to replace. This can be given concurrently with erythropoietin to ensure sufficient iron for increased rates of erythropoiesis. [99]

    Dogs are great communicators. No, our pups can’t use language in the same way as humans, but we can read a lot from their body language and the sounds they make.. And over the last few years ...

  9. Reticulocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocyte

    Reticulocytes at less mature levels can be detected by having higher intensity fluorescence regions. An increased immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), specifically an IRF more than or equal to 0.23, together with an increased absolute reticulocyte count, generally indicates an adequate erythroid response to anemia.
