  2. Hemoglobinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobinemia

    A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. If a hemoglobin tests shows that a person's levels are below normal, it means they have a low red blood cell count, which is known as anemia. If the test shows higher levels than normal, it means they have hemoglobinemia. [citation needed] The normal range for hemoglobin is:

    ICD-10 coding number Diseases Database coding number Medical Subject Headings Iron-deficiency anemia: D50: 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 ...

  4. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    Iron is an essential part of hemoglobin, and low iron levels result in decreased incorporation of hemoglobin into red blood cells. In the United States, 12% of all women of childbearing age have iron deficiency, compared with only 2% of adult men. The incidence is as high as 20% among African American and Mexican American women. [75]

  5. 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]

  6. Transfusion-dependent anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfusion-dependent_anemia

    The recommended restrictive threshold for blood transfusion is a hemoglobin level of 7 to 8 g/dL, while a more liberal threshold is set at 9 to 10 g/dL. [10] However, more evidence may be required to establish a consensus on the threshold and a personalized approach may be more useful. [11]

  7. 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 the individual will be normal for LID. [5] Normal serum iron is between 60 and 170 micrograms per dL (μg/dL). [7] Normal total iron-binding capacity for both sexes is 240 to 450 μg/dL. [6]

  8. Microcytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcytic_anemia

    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; normally about 320–360 g/L or 32–36 g/dL. Typically, therefore, anemia of this category is described as "microcytic, hypochromic anemia".

  9. Hemoglobinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobinopathy

    Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the lungs to the other tissues of the body, where it releases the oxygen to enable aerobic respiration which powers the metabolism. Normal levels of hemoglobin vary according to sex and age in the range 9.5 to 17.2 grams of hemoglobin in every deciliter of blood. [6] Hemoglobin also transports other ...
