  2. Transient erythroblastopenia of childhood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_erythroblastopen...

    Individuals with TEC have a median age of presentation of 18–26 months; however, the disorder may occur in infants younger than 6 months and in children as old as age 10 years. Because of the gradual onset of the anemia, children are often healthier than expected from their low hemoglobin levels. [citation needed]

  3. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    A strict but broad definition is an absolute decrease in red blood cell mass, [61] however, a broader definition is a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen. [62] An operational definition is a decrease in whole-blood hemoglobin concentration of more than 2 standard deviations below the mean of an age- and sex-matched reference range. [63]

  4. Microcytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcytic_anemia

    In microcytic anemia, the red blood cells (erythrocytes) contain less hemoglobin and are usually also hypochromic, meaning that the red blood cells appear paler than usual. This can be reflected by a low mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), a measure representing the amount of hemoglobin per unit volume of fluid inside the cell ...

  5. Nutritional anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_anemia

    Anemia is a deficiency in the size or number of red blood cells or in the amount of hemoglobin they contain. [1] This deficiency limits the exchange of O 2 and CO 2 between the blood and the tissue cells. [1] Globally, young children, women, and older adults are at the highest risk of developing anemia. [1]

  6. List of hematologic conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hematologic_conditions

    Beta-thalassemia (β-thalassemia) is an autosomal dominant blood condition that results in the reduction of hemoglobin production. The cause for the disorder is related to a genetic mutation of the HBB gene. This gene is responsible for providing the instructions to produce beta-globin; one of the major components of hemoglobin.

  7. 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]

  9. Latent iron deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_Iron_Deficiency

    The normal range for hemoglobin is 13.8 to 17.2 grams per deciliter (g/dL) for men and 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL for women. [6] Low hemoglobin indicates anemia but will be normal for LID. [5] Normal serum iron is between 60 and 170 micrograms per deciliter (μg/dL). [7] Normal total iron-binding capacity for both sexes is 240 to 450 μg/dL. [6]
