2. Iron-deficiency anemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-deficiency_anemia

   The platelet count may be slightly above the high limit of normal in iron-deficiency anemia (termed a mild thrombocytosis), but severe cases can present with thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). [57] Iron-deficiency anemia is confirmed by tests that include serum ferritin, serum iron level, serum transferrin, and total iron binding capacity. [58]

3. Complete blood count - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_blood_count

   A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood. The CBC indicates the counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, the concentration of hemoglobin, and the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells).

4. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

   None, immunosuppressants, platelet transfusion, surgical removal of the spleen [1] In hematology, thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets (also known as thrombocytes) in the blood. [2] Low levels of platelets in turn may lead to prolonged or excessive bleeding.

5. Platelet storage pool deficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_storage_pool...

   Platelet storage pool deficiency. Platelet storage pool deficiency is a family of clotting disorders characterized by deficient granules in platelets. Individuals with these disorders have too few or abnormally functioning alpha granules, delta granules, or both alpha and delta granules and are therefore unable to form effective clots, which ...

6. List of hematologic conditions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hematologic_conditions

   6947. Iron-deficiency anemia (or iron deficiency anaemia) is a common anemia that occurs when iron loss (often from intestinal bleeding or menses) occurs, and/or the dietary intake or absorption of iron is insufficient. In such a state, hemoglobin, which contains iron, cannot be formed. [5] Plummer–Vinson syndrome.

7. Microcytic anemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcytic_anemia

   Microcytic anaemia is any of several types of anemia characterized by smaller than normal red blood cells (called microcytes). The normal mean corpuscular volume (abbreviated to MCV on full blood count results, and also known as mean cell volume) is approximately 80–100 fL. When the MCV is <80 fL, the red cells are described as microcytic and ...

8. Blood cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_cell

   A blood cell (also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte) is a cell produced through hematopoiesis and found mainly in the blood. Major types of blood cells include red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Together, these three kinds of blood cells add up to a total 45% of the ...

9. Mentzer index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentzer_index

   The Mentzer index, described in 1973 by William C. Mentzer, [1] is the MCV divided by the RBC count. It is said to be helpful in differentiating iron deficiency anemia from beta thalassemia trait. [2][3] The index is calculated from the results of a complete blood count. If the quotient of the mean corpuscular volume (MCV, in fL) divided by the ...
