Iron deficiency, or sideropenia, is the state in which a body lacks enough iron to supply its needs. Iron is present in all cells in the human body and has several vital functions, such as carrying oxygen to the tissues from the lungs as a key component of the hemoglobin protein, acting as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and facilitating oxygen ...
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 ...
The term macrocytic is from Greek words meaning "large cell". A macrocytic class of anemia is an anemia (defined as blood with an insufficient concentration of hemoglobin) in which the red blood cells (erythrocytes) are larger than their normal volume. The normal erythrocyte volume in humans is about 80 to 100 femtoliters (fL= 10 −15 L).
Normochromic anemia. Normochromic anemia is a form of anemia in which the concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is within the standard range, but there is an insufficient number of red blood cells. Conditions where this is found include aplastic, posthemorrhagic, and hemolytic anemias and anemia of chronic disease.
Normocytic anemia. Normocytic anemia is a type of anemia and is a common issue that occurs for men and women typically over 85 years old. Its prevalence increases with age, reaching 44 percent in men older than 85 years. [1] The most common type of normocytic anemia is anemia of chronic disease. [1]
Anemie. Anemia (din grecescul Ἀναιμία anaîmia, insemnând “fără sânge”) este definită ca o deficiență calitativă sau cantitativă a hemoglobinei, moleculă ce se găsește in globulele roșii. Deoarece hemoglobina transportă oxigenul de la plămâni la țesuturi, anemia conduce la hipoxie (lipsă de oxigen) în organe.
Anemia. Ang anemia o anaemia ay ang hindi pagkakaroon ng sapat na mga pulang selula ng dugo o hemoglobin sa dugo. Inilalarawan din ang anemia bilang ang pagbaba sa dami ng mga pulang selula ng dugo o ang dami ng hemoglobin sa dugo. [1] [2] Maaari rin itong bigyan ng kahulugan bilang ang bumabang kakayahan ng dugo na magdala ng oksiheno. [3]
