  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:

  3. 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]

  4. 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]

    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).

  7. Latent iron deficiency - Wikipedia

    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. 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.
