  2. Total iron-binding capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_iron-binding_capacity

    Transferrin (mg/dL) = 0.8 x TIBC (μg of iron/dL) – 43; Transferrin (mg/dL) = 0.7 x TIBC (μg of iron/dL) To measure TIBC in the blood is less expensive than a direct measurement of transferrin. [4] [5] The TIBC should not be confused with the unsaturated iron-binding capacity or UIBC (LOINC 2501-5, 22753-8 & 35216-1). The UIBC is calculated ...

  3. Transferrin saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferrin_saturation

    Transferrin saturation (TS), measured as a percentage, is a medical laboratory value. It is the value of serum iron divided by the total iron-binding capacity [1] of the available transferrin, the main protein that binds iron in the blood, this value tells a clinician how much serum iron is bound.

  4. Serum iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_iron

    Serum iron is a medical laboratory test that measures the amount of circulating iron that is bound to transferrin and freely circulate in the blood. Clinicians order this laboratory test when they are concerned about iron deficiency, which can cause anemia and other problems. 65% of the iron in the body is bound up in hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells.

  5. Sideroblastic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideroblastic_anemia

    Sideroblastic anemia, or sideroachrestic anemia, is a form of anemia in which the bone marrow produces ringed sideroblasts rather than healthy red blood cells (erythrocytes). [1] In sideroblastic anemia, the body has iron available but cannot incorporate it into hemoglobin , which red blood cells need in order to transport oxygen efficiently.

    In this article, all values (except the ones listed below) denote blood plasma concentration, which is approximately 60–100% larger than the actual blood concentration if the amount inside red blood cells (RBCs) is negligible.

  8. Iron-deficiency anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-deficiency_anemia

    Iron-deficiency anemia is anemia caused by a lack of iron. [3] Anemia is defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. [3] When onset is slow, symptoms are often vague such as feeling tired, weak, short of breath, or having decreased ability to exercise. [1]

    The two classification types of beta thalassemia are thalassemia major (also known as Cooley's anemia) and thalassemia intermedia. [30] Diamond–Blackfan anemia: D61.0: 29062: Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA), (also known as Blackfan–Diamond anemia and Inherited erythroblastopenia) [31] is a congenital erythroid aplasia that usually presents ...
